Joe Biden’s recent interview with USA Today displayed a performance that would make one cringe, especially considering many Americans are hoping for a long vacation from his presidency—if only the clock on that finale could be sped up. In what seemed more like an episode of an old sitcom, the soon-to-be-ex-president insisted he could have triumphed over Donald Trump in a rematch if he had actually been in the race. The sheer audacity of this narrative is staggering, given that Biden’s own polling team was likely hiding the truth even from him.
Biden feigned humility when asked about defeating Trump again, claiming it was presumptuous to affirm he would win, all while nodding toward last summer’s favorable polling. It’s worth noting, however, that a recent Wall Street Journal report exposed a pattern of cherry-picking news clips that omitted any stories he might find… unflattering. Let’s be honest—if Biden’s aides are shielding him from reality, how can he possibly compete effectively in the cutthroat arena of American politics?
Then came the gravity-defying faux pas: Biden’s puzzling reflection on his son, Hunter. Tied to a hypothetical pardon, he offered a rambling explanation that sounded like a mix between a father defending a child and someone struggling to remember what year it was. Hunter managed to wiggle through tax obligations—albeit late and shockingly after facing a drug problem—but to Biden, this somehow legitimized a too-casual dalliance with legal breaches. The connection between a father’s love and a son’s questionable finances illustrates the murky waters of the Biden family dynamics.
To make matters worse, Biden’s half-hearted admission about not surviving a second term elicited a chuckle among conservatives. The thought of confiding to a reporter that, at 86, he may not know who he’ll be is alarming but hardly surprising. Let’s face it, with Biden’s track record of gaffes and general confusion, imagining him at that age spells disaster for the average American.

Images of classic cinematic moments come to mind when listening to Biden narrate his political woes. Picture him as an aging fighter realizing he’s lost not just the match, but also the plot of his own life, comically lamenting he could have been something more. While one might expect poignant life reflections, one instead finds a disjointed commentary that echoes far more of a joke than a solution.
As the Biden administration huffs and puffs its way to the finish line, it’s becoming abundantly clear that the rest of the nation is watching, hoping for a moment of clarity—or at least a comedic farewell worthy of a blooper reel. Who needs a political debate when the real show is Biden’s head-spinning grasp on reality?
