In today’s political climate, it seems that common sense has taken a back seat, while fantasy is at the wheel, steering us wildly into absurdity. When someone hears Joe Biden might be holding serious talks with world leaders, they might have a good laugh. Apparently, some folks seem to think he’s busy channeling winston Churchill or Napoleon. That’s right, when he’s not reminiscing about his days as a lifeguard or telling stories about ice cream, he’s supposedly holding the reins of global strategy. Everyone else, though? They’re a bit skeptical about the phone calls to President Biden seeking his sage wisdom on world affairs.
Back in the days of President Trump, the NATO meetings were buzzing with purpose. Leaders of allied nations were practically queueing up for a slice of American advice. Trump didn’t just mingle—he commanded the room and got those allies to make a commitment. They even coughed up a 5% increase in their dues. The current president, however, seems less like a leader and more like someone trying not to lose their way to the podium. The global scene hasn’t quite had the same respect for the US under Biden’s term. One might say they’ve had to help keep an eye on him just to ensure he knows when lunch is.
Speaking of accomplishments, there’s been some chatter about what Biden’s legacy truly entails. Some might say his notable achievement is the vanishing southern border. With an influx of millions, there’s a ripe debate over what’s truly been accomplished under Biden’s watch. The former administration made strides to keep borders secure and ensure people adhered to the law, but it seems like that playbook was tossed aside faster than a hot potato. The judiciary is now caught up in a tangled web trying to sort out the border chaos.
Of course, the Biden administration might assert it’s all part of a grand plan. But others would argue it feels more like an organized cover-up. The public was told to dismiss their instincts and trust the process. But when you look at things like inflation, border security, and world respect, many feel they were being misled or, as we say, gaslit. It’s mysterious how every time Americans saw red lights flashing on matters of policy, they were told it’s just a beautiful shade of green and they should enjoy the view.
Amidst all the intrigue, former President Trump decided to step back, enjoy his retirement, and make a few bucks giving speeches. That surely left some folks rolling their eyes, but let’s not forget: capitalism encourages earning one’s keep. Even as some grumble about his speaking fees, at least there’s a sense that Trump gets paid for performances more compelling than a bedtime story. Agree or disagree, isn’t it refreshing to know someone still values a bit of financial independence, even outside of politics? Meanwhile, some are stuck in a whirlpool of yesterday’s grievances, unable to let bygones be bygones, and maybe that’s the biggest puzzle of all.
