Well, folks, it looks like the façade has finally cracked. Joe Biden, who once managed to convince a good chunk of America that he was honest and trustworthy, is now fumbling that title spectacularly. According to the latest YouGov poll, only 36% still consider Biden honest and trustworthy. Comparatively, back in April, that number was at 46%. Even the left-leaning media can’t spin this nosedive in public confidence.
The implosion comes when the White House desperately tries to portray Biden as competent and neurologically sound. This has been their mission for years, but the effort to hide his mental decline took a serious hit during the first presidential debate. Sparring with former President Donald Trump on June 27, Biden’s deficiencies were fully displayed for the world. One might say it was a train wreck, but trains usually stay on the tracks longer.
Biden is now fumbling what's long been one of his defining traits – that he's seen as honest and trustworthy.
Post debate, only 36% now see Biden as "honest and trustworthy," per YouGov.
In April, it was 46%. And before the debate, character was the *top* issue separating him…

And let’s not forget—the big shots on Capitol Hill are reportedly making contingency plans if Biden fails to deliver during Thursday’s NATO press conference. According to insider reports, at least a half-dozen Democratic lawmakers are ready to go public against the president if he tanks the press conference. Some have even drafted statements, gearing up for what could be the political coup of the century. If this isn’t the definition of a “vote of no confidence,” nothing is.
It’s not just about Biden anymore, either. This is turning into a full-blown scandal for the whole Democratic Party. As Townhall so aptly put it, the lies about Biden’s fitness aren’t just a crisis; they’re a scandal of monumental proportions. And guess what? Our enemies are watching. They see the leader of the free world struggling to complete sentences and clear a basic competence bar during a press conference. This does absolutely nothing for America’s reputation on the global stage.
In the meantime, the Democrats are scrambling, trying to put a Band-Aid on a bullet hole. The narrative that Biden is a pillar of honesty and strength has not just buckled; it has collapsed. With Democratic lawmakers reportedly ready to jump ship, one has to wonder how much longer can the Biden administration keep up this charade?
Brace yourselves, folks. If Biden continues on this trajectory, the 2024 race might just become the most entertaining and unpredictable political circus we’ve ever seen. Grab the popcorn, and stay tuned.
