What a curious assembly of historians, gathering like a flock of owls to eulogize Biden’s presidency! It’s quite a sight, to see such reverence for a man who left office with a record of ‘accomplishments’ that could only be described as a chaotic mix of good intentions and spectacular mismanagement. ‘The seeds are planted, and they’ll bloom for decades to come,’ says Biden, as if the world isn’t already drowning in his legacy. The scholars at Princeton must have quite the sense of humor to call this a ‘first historical assessment’ after such a ‘successful’ term. As for Trump, let’s just say he’s become the boogeyman in Biden’s bedtime stories. Poor Joe, trapped in the shadow of the giant he never could outshine. And let’s not forget the ‘bitter debate’ in Democratic circles – a perfect metaphor for the party’s inability to unite under such a ‘strong’ leader. Ah, the irony of it all! The Times continues to turn a blind eye, too, as they sit on the fence, waiting for the next subscriber to subscribe. What a wonderful circle of life!
