President Joe Biden, or perhaps members of his team, seem to have realized that Americans are not necessarily surprised by his performance over the past four years. So the White House launched a last-ditch effort to convince the nation that his presidency had indeed been a success. Like a frustrated high school teacher trying to drill knowledge into the thick skulls of his students, Biden continues to bash voters with absurdly flattering and completely bogus views of his own accomplishments.
The country isn't buying it. The more lipstick Biden puts on the pig of his presidency, the lower his approval ratings will fall.
Wednesday night's farewell address from the Oval Office, perhaps the final chapter in Biden's revisionist tour, spewed meaningless platitudes about the character of our country and presented himself as a great champion of democracy. He concluded the beginning of his presidency by portraying himself as a man.
'Worst farewell speech in presidential history': Biden's farewell address in the Oval Office criticized as 'bleak'
The president led the news of a welcome ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. Clearly annoyed that American and Israeli news outlets believed President-elect Donald Trump and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff were making a breakthrough, Biden cited his team's eight months of non-stop negotiations. , reached for victory. Those efforts were in vain, and many believe Hamas was responding to President Trump's credible threat of “hell to pay” if the hostages were not released by Inauguration Day.
Biden has made dubious claims that he has “created” 17 million jobs (most of which were simply replacing jobs lost due to COVID-19 shutdowns) and that violent crime has been reduced over the past 50 years. He boasted of some of his administration's accomplishments, such as bringing the country's economy down to its lowest level (a record high). The mistake was exposed. )
But much of his talk focused on the threats facing the United States, including an unidentified “oligarchy” of “extreme wealth, power, and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy.” .
He also raged about the need to remove “dark money” from politics and reconsidered his insistence that the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes. This ovation comes from the leader of a political party who just squandered more than $1 billion on failed candidates and who recently awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros, the embodiment of extreme wealth, power, and influence. It's from the president.
Biden says he is no longer a 'strong ally' of Trump, defends his record in Afghanistan
Biden warned of an “avalanche of misinformation” and an emerging “tech-industrial complex,” saying he and his fellow Democrats can no longer control the flow of information in the United States, and that tech entrepreneurs He was clearly wary that the tech industry, led by Elon Musk, was in recession. Rallying around Donald Trump. He also blamed recent hurricanes in North Carolina and wildfires in California on global warming, warning that climate change remains an “existential threat.”
The Oval Office speech follows a foreign policy address earlier this week in which Biden said the administration will “leave President Trump with very strong powers. And we will do even more. “We will leave an America with stronger allies and friends.” The enemy is weaker and under pressure. ” Despite the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the extraordinary Abraham Accords impasse, Beijing’s alarming alliances with Russia and North Korea, and the collapse of leftist simpatico regimes across Europe, Biden said that “America …leading, uniting nations, and setting the course of the world.” Rallying others behind our plans and vision. ”
Americans disagree, judging Biden's impact on “America's standing in the world” to be worse than any recent president except George W. Bush, according to Gallup.

Americans remember that when Biden took office, the world was at peace and our enemies, especially Iran, were under control. Ukraine is currently at war with Russia, there is a war in Sudan, and thanks to President Biden's failure to impose sanctions on Iran, Israel faces a multi-pronged war in the Middle East. When it comes to our participation in the globalist system, millions of Americans doubt the value of agreements such as the Paris Climate Agreement. The deal requires huge economic sacrifices from the American people, but very few economic sacrifices from China, the world's biggest polluter.
Just two days ago, Biden wrote a letter to the American people, a prelude to his farewell address, making his case and revisiting many of the half-truths and distortions embedded in his revisionism. The president often talks about how the country was on the brink of collapse when he took office. That's not true.
The United States, he wrote, was in the midst of “the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.” It's not even close. Economic growth exceeded 6%, employment recovered, and inflation was 1.4%. Additionally, despite the coronavirus pandemic, consumer confidence has reached 79%, a figure rarely reached in the past four years. That's the fact.
There is no point in resisting the president's economic myths. People know that their lives are no better off than they were when Biden took office.
Despite all of Biden's fantasies, the people remain unmoved. Biden's approval ratings have hit record lows despite the former parliamentary president's recent spate of public appearances. According to an analysis by FiveThirtyEight, only 35.6% of people currently rate Biden's performance, lower than President-elect Trump's rating of 38.6%. rear Protest at the Capitol on January 6th.

To make matters worse, a recent CNN poll showed that 61% of Americans view Biden's presidency as a failure, while 38% see it as a success.
The good news is that Americans are paying attention and no longer believe in Joe Biden. They look at Biden's record and decide that he was a terrible president, even though Democrats and their liberal media allies say otherwise. That's why they elected Donald Trump, and why they're rooting for the end of the Biden era on January 20th.
