I have been voting in Presidential elections since the 1970s. Since then, I have never voted for a Republican for President. Long ago when I lived in New Jersey, I was a registered Democrat. Thus, I did not vote for Trump and am not a Republican by any stretch of the imagination.
However, there is no doubt in my mind that Joe Biden is, by far, the worst President, at least in my lifetime. After two years in office, he has no accomplishments to brag about and the country is much worse off than I ever thought possible along so many perspectives.
Thus, today’s discussion will simply be a list of his failures and the negative impacts those failures are having on all of us. On one hand I want to lash out at him for the damage he has done. But on the other hand, I actually feel sorry for him. There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that he is, and has been, in the throes of significant cognitive decline since even before the election.
He gets confused easily. He cannot give any presentation without the use of a teleprompter and many times even that does not help him. He gets lost while out in public, wandering about until one of his handlers physically has to direct him to safety. He lashes out at reporters and others for no good reason. He is forgetful. He tells lies and stories that are just not true.
Having been a co-guardian of an elderly uncle for years, an uncle that suffered horribly from dementia, it is my non-medical opinion that Biden has gone down the same road as my uncle. Easily upset, forgetful, confused, longing to be in familiar surroundings, etc.
Thus, it is not totally his fault he has screwed up the country as much as he has. I blame his wife, his family and political handlers for putting him through such a stressful experience. In my opinion, they are all guilty of elder abuse. Nevertheless, whoever’s fault it is, the Biden presidency has resulted in the following dire conditions in the country (listed in no particular order):
Inflation is roaring ahead at levels not seen in four decades.
Gas, utility and some food prices have increased by double digit amounts in the past two years.
The stock market just had its worst year since 2008.
The automobile sales market had its worst year in the past decade.
Our energy independence gained under Trump has been wasted away as Biden has terminated the Keystone Pipeline and has restricted oil drilling throughout the country which has forced the country to start buying crude oil from the likes of Venezuela, a country with a tyrant as its leader.
When he drained the Strategic Oil Preserve to alleviate the 100%+ increase in gasoline prices, much of the released crude oil went overseas, including China, and not into the oil stockpiles in this country.
For the first time ever, a President has threatened to use our armed forces against Americans who have decided to exercise their right of free speech in support of the Second Amendment.
Biden has used the FBI as a Gestapo-like organization to hassle his political opponents such as pro-life supporters, a pillow maker, parents who simply question the actions of their school boards, and others.
His border policies have allowed millions of illegal immigrants to enter the country which has resulted in billions of dollars of American taxpayer wealth to be used to house, feed, medically treat, and educate illegal immigrant families and kids while millions of Americans go homeless and hungry.
His border policies have allowed unheard of amounts of deadly fentanyl to enter the country, resulting in skyrocketing deaths of Americans from fentanyl fueled drug overdoses.
His border policies have allowed drug cartels, central American criminal syndicates, human trafficking gangs, and terrorists to enter the country, resulting in actual and potential violence to American citizens.
He has failed to support local governments as these local governments have seen their crime rates escalate dramatically over the past two years, much of which was caused by his failed and porous border policies.
He has failed to curtail the political and territorial ambitions of Russia (Ukraine), China (Taiwan), and North Korea (expanded nuclear weapons capability).
His withdrawal of the U.S. military presence from Afghanistan has to go down as one of the most botched and failed endeavors ever undertaken by the Federal government, resulting in the unnecessary deaths of 13 U.S. service personnel, an unknown number of unnecessary Afghanistan citizens’ deaths, and the creation of one of the most powerful armies in the world, the Taliban, by leaving behind billions and billions of dollars worth of U.S. military hardware behind.
When the bodies of those brave deceased service people from Afghanistan were returned to this country, Biden's behavior at their arrival was a disgrace, as he continually looked at his watch, as if he was bored and wanted to be someplace else, when their coffins were rolled out of the plane delivering them home, dishonoring those who he had not protected.
His cabinet is likely one of the weakest Presidential cabinets ever assembled, whose members have no idea how to execute their jobs, from the Secretary of State to the head of the Department of Transportation to the head of the Department of Energy, unknown, ineffective bureaucrats.
He has continued to enrich himself and his family members by using his political influence around the world (Ukraine, Russia, China) to the benefit of himself and his family.
While a millionaire many, many times over, I have seen no evidence that he has donated his Presidential salary to worthy causes like Trump did, keeping his salary for himself despite his lofty millionaire status.
Biden continued his history of racially insensitive remarks when he referred to a former black Congressman and current senior advisor as “boy” and also referred to the Japanese golfer who won the Masters golf tournament as “boy.”
His support and signing of the “Inflation Reduction Act” shows he has no economic knowledge at all since according to economic experts (e.g. the Wharton School and the Congressional Budget Office), the legislation will result in, at best, a miniscule reduction in inflation and is likely to cause more inflation as it increases the Federal debt load, it will increase taxes on businesses which will stunt economic and job growth, and will increase inflation as businesses pass those tax increase impacts along to the consumer.
Like Presidents before him, he has no plans, no intent, and no brain power to fix the major issues of our times: hundreds of thousands of Americans are still homeless every day, millions of Americans are still hard pressed to feed themselves and their families every day, thousands of Americans are still dying from drug addiction every month, Social Security is still hurtling towards insolvency, Medicare and Medicaid are still hurtling towards insolvency, our public schools still continue to under educate our kids, our nation's infrastructure is still falling apart, and the national debt is rising ever higher.
Hard to argue that Biden is not the worst President in many, many years. From economic disasters to foreign affairs failures to failed and fatal immigration policies, there is nothing he has done in two years to offset the additional hardships he has placed on American families and businesses.
And worse yet, he apparently has no plans or ability to fix what he has broken or to fix what are the major issues facing every American. While he invites drag queens to the White House, Americans are still homeless. While he spends almost 150 days away from the White House at his Delaware homes, American families are struggling to feed themselves in these high inflation times. While Americans were suffering and dying due to the holiday weather, he jets off to the Virgin Islands on vacation.
It is a disgrace of a Presidency and a disgrace that his family, friends, and political allies put him through the Presidential process as we watch his awareness of reality diminishes every day and with it, the possibility of fixing the any of nation's problems.
