No one in politics can truly be modest in the usual way it's meant. Anyone in politics has to be pushy and self-promoting to begin with. But it was nice that in the days following the election, and really even in the debates, Boden was calmly saying he believed "we" had won, while Trump was making unfounded declarations that "I" had definitely won.

During the inauguration, I noticed something again. While Trump poses to milk applause, sometimes waving, and sometimes even clapping to make people keep on applauding, Biden began to speak before the applause even died down. And when he finished, he immediately went to his seat, not having Trump's desperate need to make people cheer. Very welcome change.

No. Are you?

I'm just appreciating someone who doesn't swagger around personally claiming credit for everything, elbowing others aside to be shoving himself in front, and declaring arrogantly "Only I can fix it."

Haven't Secret Service complained that Biden would like to swim nude while both male and female Secret Service agents were present.....Now That Says Modesty like nothing else.


Actions vs. Words. Which is more powerful?

Yep.

Because that's who Biden is, and that's who Biden's followers are, vs. Trump and his followers.

He just reads his lines. Has to keep up with the prompter. The last line was likely "take your seat".

Pull your tongue out of his behind, would you please?

Yes, modesty is a great trait I should vote for or even like a president! LOL!
