In the world of politics, they say perception is everything. Yet, there’s one perception that simply cannot be sustained: the notion that Joe Biden will be remembered as a significant president. In reality, he appears destined to go down in history as the most inconsequential figure to ever occupy the Oval Office—sort of like that brief moment we all endure during a boring lecture. He served as nothing more than a speedbump between two Donald Trump terms, and the art of storytelling suggests his legacy will be overshadowed by the vibrancy (and drama) of the Trump administration.
This is a president who has convinced himself and his followers that he’s playing in the major leagues, while simultaneously delivering performances that make a middle school talent show look like Broadway. Biden and his supporters have banded together, insisting that he is one of history’s greats, but the truth rings louder than their feeble assertions. Just because they repeat “Biden’s the best” like a mantra doesn’t make it so. Like a teenager insisting their haircut is cool while strutting around with an unfortunate mullet, this administration’s self-assessment lacks any grounding in reality.
The Incredible Shrinking President: Why Biden Will Be Remembered As Our Least Consequential Presidenthttps://t.co/6bfG9MbhPx

While Biden was supposed to be the antidote to all that was wrong during the Trump years, the opposite has occurred. Americans are smacking their foreheads in disbelief, realizing that things weren’t just “okay” under Trump; they were, in fact, pretty good. Instead of pivoting the nation to calmer waters, the Biden administration has made many long for the bold, sometimes brash leadership style that marked the previous administration. High inflation, foreign policy blunders, and an overall sense of helplessness under Biden have become the new normal, leaving many wondering how they might survive without their trusty MAGA hats.
Trump has wasted no time reclaiming his stature on the global stage, wowing world leaders while Biden struggles to remember where he parked his car. The former president is charging ahead with his agenda, while it feels like Biden is stuck in slow motion, rehashing campaign slogans instead of tackling real crises. As if that wasn’t enough, even Jill Biden seems a little too cozy with the new GOP up-and-comer. How did it come to this? Isn’t it ironic that a woman who once fielded his presidency now seems more intrigued by the former president?
In the end, Joe Biden’s legacy may come down to just two things that are even remotely consequential: Donald Trump and whoever is set to follow him into the presidency. Biden’s tenure will likely be acknowledged only as a footnote, a minor distraction on the political landscape that left conservatives with a smirk and a lingering sense of relief. This era may very well come to be seen as a cautionary tale, underscoring the pitfalls of leadership that has forgotten who it truly serves, while celebrating the reign of real impact when Trump resumes the spotlight.
