Biden Makes Yet Another Wrong Move in a Desperate Attempt to Raise His Approval Rating – Opinion

To say that President Joe Biden’s approval rating has cratered is putting it lightly. The man’s popularity has been on a swift decline for some time now, and as more and more mistakes are made by his administration and every public appearance brings on a new wave of embarrassment, his image continues to sink in the eyes of the American people.

His popularity is being raised. The attempt to shift the blame from him and his administration for all the problems he caused began with this. Biden tried to divert blame to others, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and oil companies. The public has even been distracted by events like the leaked draft of the decision Roe V. Wade from the Supreme Court, but it didn’t save him either.

Putting paint on rust doesn’t take away the rust.

Now Biden’s handlers are reaching out to their Hollywood friends to help “Weekend at Bernie’s” Biden’s popularity. Their belief is that Biden will be more appealing if he can find people who enjoy his company. Because more people choose to vote on the basis of their emotions than other factors, This is especially true since the election worked so well for Barack Obama’s predecessor. It’s a smart move.

It would also be nice if Biden were actually meeting someone who was capable of persuading independents and centrists to like him. In their desperation, Biden’s handlers reached out to late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel.

It would have been a good idea to reach out to Michael Moore. Kimmel isn’t the play given the fact that Kimmel has made every attempt possible at alienating himself from half of America. His very open contempt for those who lean right borders on the obsessive and gets him to produce “jokes” that are just mean-spirited comments with applause prompts for the audience.

He’s repeatedly proven himself to be a hypocrite, abandoning his “noble” leftist beliefs if it means he can use them to attack people on the right with as much malice and bile as he can.

Sending Biden to Kimmel is not the play if they’re attempting to help with the former’s approval rating. In reality, it will just confirm to many in America that Biden isn’t the “uniter” that he likes to say he is, but that he’s willing to be around those who are divisive and hateful toward those who don’t believe as they do.

His handlers could, at this point, understand that Kimmel isn’t someone who will convince moderates to like Biden but to shore up his current base of voters. Kimmel will have to make sure that the funny, personable moments he gives Biden at his studio are not overshadowed in America’s home by their hardships.

Again, putting paint on rust doesn’t take away the rust…and there’s a hell of a lot of rust here. Kimmel’s suggestion is only going to make it worse.
