Joe Biden has just returned from Delaware, where he is enjoying another vacation. That the country is experiencing its highest inflation yet under his tenure and that things are generally not good domestically and abroad doesn’t even seem to compute. The old man is enjoying himself on your dime, and he doesn’t care how that affects you.
Sometimes, however, Biden may be approached by a reporter who wants to ask him questions. That happened on Monday when one such reporter made the mistake of asking the president about the fact that many economists are predicting a coming recession following last quarter’s negative growth. Instead of answering the question, Biden snapped — something he’s been prone to do the last several years.

To start, Biden is purposely lying (very likely) or he’s just highly misinformed. A majority of economists surveyed recently believe that there will be a recession. This is despite the flurry of negative economic news since June. At 8.6 percent, inflation is now a frightening sight. Inflation is also at an all-time high of 8.6 percent, locking out investors. Biden has put us in a difficult spot, and there is only one way out: a recession. Larry Summers, former Obama economic advisor said Sunday that there was no precedent in history for us to enter a recession at the moment if we want inflation to be controlled.
Although the president can be angry and old, reporters are often more trouble than him when they dare ask basic questions about his records. Biden is still ignoring the fact that his bad decisions have made it a reality. It’s bad enough that he’s on vacation again, but for him to snap on a reporter for asking about the economy is just a bad look.
Apparently, Biden’s daughter and granddaughter realized that because they eventually stepped in to rescue the beleaguered president, telling the reporters that they couldn’t ask any more questions.

It’s crazy to see his daughter step behind him, waving her hands, saying “no more” while Biden is still talking. They treat him as if he’s totally out of it and unaware of his surroundings, probably because he is totally out of it and unaware of his surroundings. Ivanka Trump could do that to Donald Trump. Or Barack Obama’s daughters telling him when he can speak while he addressed reporters? It’s awkward and it’s not normal. This is not how Presidents, who are still able to use their mind fully, should be treated.
Every time I watch videos showing Biden being ushered away by various handlers, I’m left asking how long this can go on? He can’t keep up this pace until 2024. I have my doubts, and the idea that he’s going to run for re-election is laughable.
