Biden took over a government in disarray. Hundreds of thousands of Americans dead by ignoring a pandemic, a cyber attack on our infrastructure, a ballooning trade deficit in a trade war Trump lost, ICE in chaos after having had numerous directors over four years, some not lasting but two months and the cancellation of all large scale military exercises. Its little wonder he doesn't have time to watch TV and spend time on self-aggrandizing.
I wish Biden would spend more time watching tv and not destroying the country
No, I'm not talking about the way Trump and his followers tried to mock Biden for prudently keeping a lower profile while Trump ranted maniacally.
This is Frank Bruni's column about how Biden is becoming presidential in a way that Trump never did, never could, and that it may end up, beyond anyone's expectations, being a transformational presidency.
Where did Joe Biden go?
The garrulous gaffe artist has been replaced by a disciplined policymaker.
By Frank Bruni
But it will be transformational to the extent that it's unlike any presidency that anyone would have predicted for Biden. It'll be transformational to the degree that he approaches it in an un-Biden-like fashion — with his head down, his comments proscribed and his focus precise...
That's how he vanquished Donald Trump — by not babbling too much, not taking the bait, tamping down his ego and making his quest about what Americans needed from whoever became their president, not about what an amazing president he in particular would be. He was less showboat than tugboat, humbly poised to pull us out of perilous waters.
His disaster at the border is enough crapola for a couple of years.
He's got to revert back to Trump's policy and admitted that.
His VP dissed him after he appointed her as the one in charge.
How embarrassing for him.
There must have been extra rations of kool-aid today.
Only a blind, partisan democrat would call Biden's first few months "transformational". Biden has screwed up everything he has touched and looks like a complete moron.
Let's face it- Obama is calling all the shots and the major screw ups (border disaster, killing the energy sector, advancing tranny agendas, and race baiting) are pure Obama.
This has been the most divisive beginning of a presidency in memory. What is worse is Biden promised to unify.The border is a humanitarian disaster and gas prices are through the roof. Next comes massive job killing taxes.
Carter was a forgettable President. He was a good guy but a horrible President.
I voted for Carter. I learned my lesson and never voted for a democrat for president again. Carter was the worst president in most of our lives until Obama took that title away. Biden looks like he plans to be the worst of all.
But it will be transformational to the extent that it's unlike any presidency that anyone would have predicted for Biden. It'll be transformational to the degree that he approaches it in an un-Biden-like fashion — with his head down, his comments proscribed and his focus precise...
As I said ... it is too early to tell if Biden will be "transformational" or not. The author of the article is speculating about something he cannot know yet. He's been in office less than 3 months and thus it is too early to tell much about anything.
So, once again, as I said ... "It is much too early to say much about Biden's ultimate success ..."
Not sure why that's hard to understand. Maybe the author will turn out to be right, and maybe not. I can neither agree nor disagree with the author when he has a 50-50 chance of being correct.
