Biden Shows How Out-of-Touch He Is, Even in a Puff Piece Interview – Opinion

There was a time when people talked about Barack Obama’s narcissism. But in a way, Joe Biden’s narcissism is far worse, because it’s unhinged from reality.

Biden has just done a softball interview for progressive podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen. According to Biden, he hopes that his legacy will be “that I restored the soul of this country.”

“I hope my legacy is that I was able to restore some decency and honor to the office; I was able to bring the middle class back to a place where they had a real opportunity, given an even chance to succeed; and I was able to reconstruct our alliances, which had been frayed so badly, internationally, and that I was able to bring people together,” Biden said during the interview. “Bring the politics of America together.”

First, that isn’t his job to “restore the soul of this country.” His job is to put America first and defend the nation. He’s failed miserably at that. It’s also insulting that he thinks that Americans were somehow so lacking without him. He seems to have an exaggerated view of himself and his limited abilities.

Even as he has constantly lied, lashed out at anyone who may have dared to challenge him, falsely attacked Republicans as racists akin to Bull Connor, demonized the unvaccinated, he thinks he’s about bringing the “politics of America together.” Few people have been more divisive than him. “Reconstruct our alliances”? He’s made all our allies doubt us and our resilience, as he not only threw our allies under the bus in Afghanistan, leaving them and Americans at the hands of terrorists, he did that while leaving other allies in the dark about his actions. They spoke out against what he had done and their “sense of betrayal.” He’s failed so badly at virtually everything he’s done in just a short 13 months; he’s made Jimmy Carter look good by comparison and has gotten even worse numbers than Carter.

The scary thing is that Biden may honestly think he’s “restored” anything, despite it having no relation to fact–and Americans know it.

In a new Harvard CAPS-Harris poll, 59 percent of Americans blame his weakness for Vladimir Putin invading Ukraine, with 62 percent thinking it wouldn’t have happened under President Donald Trump. At 38 percent his approval, Americans are still unhappy with him in every aspect of the economy and inflation. A new ABC News poll that just came out had that even lower – at 37 percent approval.

But Biden doesn’t care about that. We already reported on part of the interview, where Biden said he thinks that the bad polls show that Americans just have some kind of a “psychological issue” with being happy, even though “things have gotten so much better for them economically.”

Some places charge almost $5 per gallon for gas, while chicken can be found nowhere else. Frozen meat is now available because of a faulty supply chain, which means that nothing is delivered on schedule. Inflation is crushing people. These are all happening before sanctions against Russia, which Joe claimed would also hurt us, were implemented. Joe, I’m all for it.

He kept telling the same false story about how a third is caused by the cost of cars. That isn’t even how you assess inflation.

Even in what was a puff piece interview designed to make Biden look the best that he possibly could, he still looked like he couldn’t muster up much energy. He didn’t hide his deficiencies. Regarding Russia, he said his “goal from the beginning” was to make sure he kept NATO all on the same page. His goal wasn’t to lead and respond. His goal was not to lead and respond, but to do anything Germany would permit him. This is why the implementation of real sanctions didn’t happen until long after the invasion. According to Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, waiting makes no sense. They waited and got invading troops, proving their weakness.

Biden displayed his total lack of control on almost every topic, even during a softball interview.
