In a recent interview, President Joe Biden took a swing at the notion that he could have secured another term in the Oval Office, even admitting a level of uncertainty about his mental fitness to carry out the demanding role. It’s the kind of confidence only a man with a resume full of questionable decisions and wandering thoughts could boast. When asked if he could have beaten Donald Trump in a hypothetical election, Biden replied that it might be presumptuous to say yes, but he leaned toward affirming that he could have won — if only those pesky brain lapses weren’t clouding his judgment.
Naturally, this little episode stirred up a reminder of the ongoing drama between Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Each seems to be trying to outdo the other in a game of blame and denial about their failed attempts to face off against Trump in the actual election. However, it’s President Biden who has carved out a niche for himself in political gaffe city. Just days after his bold claims, a wild disaster was unfolding in Southern California, where relentless fires have claimed lives and homes, leading to mass evacuations. One might think leading through such chaos would require focus and a modicum of leadership, not muddled musings about what might have been.
BREAKING 🚨 Biden just made a joke about the fires in California: "Fire away. No pun intended."

In a cringe-worthy turn, during a press briefing about the catastrophic fires, Biden passed the mic to Kamala Harris with an inappropriate remark, hinting that her California roots should give her an edge in discussing the tragedy. His line about her being “directly affected” was laughable — and not just because it included a clumsy, rude “fire away” comment that drew an eye-roll from Harris. If this is the best the Biden-Harris duo can do in a crisis, it’s time for Americans to reconsider their options when it comes to leadership.
While Biden’s tongue-flapping might elicit some chuckles, it’s actually a desperate cry for help from someone who clearly lacks the composure necessary for such a revered office. Reports suggest that aides have been playing damage control for Biden since 2021, suggesting a culture of ongoing crisis management that seems to have taken root in his administration like a stubborn weed. The public daily hazard of “good days and bad days” for a president raises serious doubts about the management running this country.
Despite the chaos erupting around him, Biden’s insistence that he could have still won an election somehow is almost comedic. It is as if his retirement wishes float on a cloud of fantasy, far removed from the flames scorching California, let alone the deeper issues that concern everyday Americans. One can’t help but wonder if he truly believes his rhetoric or if he’s just passing time while someone else puppeteers the show from behind the curtain.
The average American glued to news coverage may just wish that a little leadership stability could replace the circus act they were sold on in 2020. Instead of providing reassurance during disasters, we’re met with the tedious repetition of inappropriate phrases and continued denial of the obvious: Biden’s moments of clarity are as rare as a unicorn sighting. If Americans aren’t careful, they may get stuck with another four years of bewildering presidency under these conditions, raising the question of who runs the show in Washington.
