Nobody Wants Biden’s Stink on Them

Staffers, his former boss’s staffers, foreign leaders — all of them see what a disaster the president is.

Joe Biden has had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week year presidency. Most Americans began realizing this within months of our oldest president taking office. Now, even his staff is cracking and world leaders are snubbing him because they don’t want his stink on them. Where’s a guy to go when he doesn’t even know where he is?

A few days ago, we noted a devastating NBC News report about growing dissent in Biden’s White House. Yesterday, we wrote that Biden’s so desperate for good public relations that he went on a late-night comedy show. (That performance was so bad that Jimmy Kimmel had to cut to a commercial rather than let Biden keep fumbling around.)

Today’s news is that inflation accelerated in May, reaching an 8.6% annualized rate. On top of that, Gas Buddy’s national average price for a gallon of gas surpassed $5 for the first time ever. Biden’s “solution” to that is to keep hawking electric cars.

On the other end of the seesaw, Biden’s approval rating hit a new low average of 39.7%. Those are some awfully stubborn or uninformed Americans in that approval cohort.

So it’s no surprise that recent days have also included a blistering op-ed against Biden by Brett Bruen, a former adviser to Barack Obama. His first sentence: “I used to cringe when Vice President Joe Biden took to the podium.” And it went downhill from there, as he recounted numerous episodes of Cleanup on Aisle 46.

While the president “bears the lion share of blame for his ill-considered improvisation,” Bruen said, it’s time for him to clean house with his national security team, starting with National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.

Not only are Biden’s employees throwing him under the bus, but so are his former boss’s employees.

Meanwhile, foreign leaders aren’t eager to hang out with a loser like Joe Biden, either. His much ballyhooed Summit of the Americas this week has been less than advertised after the leaders of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Bolivia, and El Salvador all refused to attend, sending subordinates instead. Their boycott was in response to Biden’s decision to not invite Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

“We just don’t believe dictators should be invited,” said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. “We don’t regret that, and the president will stand by his principle.” That’s all well and good, but didn’t Biden promise something about restoring U.S. standing in the world? He obviously didn’t win over anyone with his stance. And it’s tough to accomplish anything of substance in the Western Hemisphere if other national leaders find more benefit in snubbing Biden than showing up to talk. That speaks volumes on U.S. standing.

By the way, these leaders might not have come to Los Angeles, but millions of their people have illegally crossed Biden’s open border over the last 16 months. Another large caravan of them is headed this way now. “It’s a hemispheric challenge,” admitted Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Yeah, you could say that.

In short, Biden is stumbling badly here at home, and world leaders know it. Far from the days of the Monroe Doctrine, which asserted American interests in the Western Hemisphere, many Latin American leaders think more of the dictatorial regimes in Cuba and Venezuela than they do of the weak U.S. president, and they see no shame and very little downside in snubbing the leader of the free world.

Joe Biden first started running for president in 1987 because, as he’s always fond of asserting, he’s the smartest guy in any room and he knows Washington well enough to get things done. But he’s mentally diminished and often incoherent, his policies are failing at home and abroad, and no one even wants to be around him anymore.
