Joe Biden was at Rehoboth Beach in Delaware this weekend. They generally refuse to be transparent about what he’s doing when he’s in Delaware or with whom he is meeting. That’s concerning since he’s spent so much time there — he’s spent around 200 full or partial days away from the White House, most of those in Delaware. We did witness him fall on his bicycle in a serious accident this weekend, after stopping to meet people. His deputy press secretary did not tell us what he was doing, but instead tweeted a juvenile attack against President Donald Trump.
His team has claimed that even on these trips, he is “constantly on the job, regardless of their location — whether they’re on a state visit overseas or just 100 miles from the White House for a short trip to Wilmington.” But Biden blew that narrative that he wasn’t on vacation when he gave a prickly response to a reporter who asked him whether he would be talking to Chinese President Xi Jinping. “I will not talk to you! I’m on vacation,” he said, although he then said he would be talking with Xi. Each of those “vacations” to Delaware is costing us about $120,000 for just security alone, not counting the plane and the helicopter costs, or any of the other costs.
But that vacation comment wasn’t the only comment that Biden made to reporters. While that one blew up the fiction that he was “constantly on the job,” he had another one that raised even a bigger question — exactly who is pulling his strings?
When a reporter asked if he was talking to Xi, he said, “I ain’t telling ya.” When he was asked if he had made up his mind on China tariffs, he said “We’re in the process of doing that.” The reporter, surprised, asked if that meant he was lifting tariffs? That’s when he made this telling comment:
Reporter: “You’re lifting the tariffs [on China]?”

“We are in the process of making up my mind,” Biden replied. “Prepared to sign it and I’m ready to go.”
“WE are in the process of making up MY mind?” Talk about a strange, yet revealing comment. Is he really saying the silent part loudly? Who is the “we” who will be “making up” Biden’s mind? Isn’t he supposed to be the leader of the free world? If someone else has the switch, why is he still in office?
We talked about transparency with whom he’s meeting in Delaware, how about transparency about who is telling him what to do? Then his last comment doesn’t even follow — if he’s “prepared to sign it” and “ready to go,” hasn’t he made up his mind? It sounds like he’s waiting for someone else’s go-ahead. What kind of person would this be? Who’s running the country and telling him what to do? That’s more than a little concerning and perhaps is part of the reason everything is a mess.
