We’re now counting down to Jan. 20, and President-elect Donald Trump’s taking over can’t come soon enough.
Joe Biden has made such a mess of things as he’s occupied the Oval Office, and it’s concerning that he’s still there in the condition that he’s in as things continue to implode around him.

Yet he lives in a dream world. He delivered remarks at the Brookings Institution on what he believed to be his economic legacy, his “middle out, bottom-up economic playbook,” as his administration cast it.
But it’s basically delusional. He thinks he’s leaving Trump a strong economy. Even now he doesn’t seem to understand or can’t be honest about how much he’s cost the American people, particularly those in the “middle” and the “bottom” who he hurt with his inflationary policies.
Biden says it’s his “profound hope” that President Trump will “preserve” his economic success.

It’s one of the main reasons that Trump was elected — the refusal by Biden and Kamala Harris to acknowledge that truth.
This is Joe Biden in a nutshell. Even when Harris is roundly rejected in part because of the Biden-Harris failure, he still has to insist to us that he’s right. Even when he’s wrong.
But then Joe had a problem when the teleprompter suddenly went out and he didn’t know what to say.

“One of the things that’s going on here is they just turned off my…I lost the electricity here,” he said, going through his notes, probably trying to figure out what he was supposed to say. “One of the things we found is…we invented the semi…the computer chip…the size of the tip of your little finger.” And that has what to do with anything?
But when Biden goes off teleprompter, that’s when he starts filling in with gibberish. He bragged about all he knew about foreign policy.

I think no one has been more consistently wrong about foreign policy than Joe Biden. As former Obama Secretary of Defense Robert Gates famously said, “I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” When he came in, there was relative peace, and he managed to make multiple situations worse, including the catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia after Biden’s “minor incursion” gaffe, the lifting of sanctions on Nord Stream 2, and the attacks on Israel by Hamas and Hezbollah.

Then he started talking about how we had to lead the world when everything he’s done has only hurt America’s standing in the world. It went downhill from there.

“Not a joke, I’m not being wise guy,” he said. “If we do not lead the world, what nation leads the world?” he screamed. “Who pulls Europe together? Who tries to pull the Middle East together? How do we [gibberish] Indian Ocean? What do we do in Africa? We, the United States, lead the world.”
His own actions likely contributed to the Russians invading Ukraine. His coddling of Iran helped to empower their proxies to attack Israel. Even in Africa, he’s spent so little time being proactive there that he’s allowed Chinese influence on the Continent.
He’s failed at every turn. Forty-one days, and counting…
