It has apparently occurred to President Joe Biden, or, more likely, a member of his team, that Americans are less than impressed with his performance over the past four years. That’s why the White House has made a last-ditch effort to convince the country that his presidency has actually been a success. Like a frustrated high school teacher trying to drill knowledge into the thick skulls of his students, Biden continues to hammer voters with an absurdly flattering and completely false view of his own achievements.
The country doesn’t buy it; the more lipstick Biden puts on his pig of a presidency, the lower his approval ratings fall.
Perhaps the final chapter of Biden’s revisionism tour, his farewell speech from the Oval Office on Wednesday evening concluded his presidency as he began it, uttering meaningless platitudes about the character of our nation and portraying himself as the Great Defender of Democracy.
‘WORST FAREWELL SPEECH IN PRESIDENTIAL HISTORY’: BIDEN’S OVAL OFFICE GOODBYE POSTED AS ‘DARK’
The president led with news of a welcome ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. Clearly annoyed that Americans and Israeli news services are crediting this President-elect Donald Trump and his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff with the breakthrough, Biden cruised to victory, citing his team’s eight months of nonstop negotiations. Because these efforts came to nothing, most believe Hamas was instead responding to Trump’s credible threat that there would be “hell to pay” if the hostages were not released before Inauguration Day.
Biden boasted of some of his administration’s achievements, including dubious claims that he had “created” 17 million jobs (many of which were simply restoring the jobs lost to the coronavirus shutdown) and that violent crime had fallen to a 50-year low (that has been debunked.)
Much of his speech, however, focused on the threats America faces, including an unidentified “oligarchy” of “extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy.”
He also denounced the need to get “dark money” out of politics and revised his position on requiring the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes. This nonsense comes in spades from the leader of a political party that just wasted over a billion dollars on a losing candidate and a president who recently awarded George Soros, the personification of extreme wealth, power and influence, the Presidential Medal of Freedom .
BIDEN SAYS HE’S LEAVING TRUMP ‘STRONG HAND TO PLAY’, DEFENDS HIS RECORD ON AFGHANISTAN
Biden warned of an “avalanche of disinformation” and a rising “tech-industrial complex,” clearly alarmed that he and his fellow Democrats no longer control the flow of information in the United States and that the tech industry, led by tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, gathered around Donald Trump. He also warned that climate change remains an “existential threat,” blaming global warming for recent hurricanes in North Carolina and wildfires in California.
The Oval Office Speech followed a foreign policy speech earlier this week in which Biden claimed his administration is leaving Trump’s White House “with a very strong hand to play.” And we leave behind an America with more friends and stronger alliances, whose adversaries are weaker and weaker. under pressure.” Despite the catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan, the abandonment of the extraordinary Abraham Accords, Beijing’s worrying alliances with Russia and North Korea, and the fall of sympathetic left-wing governments across Europe, Biden claims that ‘America… is leading, countries unites and the agenda, bringing others together behind our plans and visions.”
Americans disagree and believe that Biden’s impact on the “position of the United States in the world” has been 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—particularly Iran—were subdued. With Ukraine at war with Russia, there is war in Sudan and thanks to the Biden White House’s failure to enforce sanctions on Iran, Israel has been dealing with a multi-front war in the country. Middle East. As for our participation in globalist institutions, millions of Americans doubt the value of agreements like the Paris Climate Agreement, which requires significant economic sacrifices from Americans and almost none from China, the country that is by far the world’s largest polluter.
Biden also wrote a letter to the American people two days ago that served as a preview of the farewell address, in which he made his case and pushed back on many of the half-truths and distortions embedded in his revisionism. The president often describes the country as being on the brink of collapse when he took office. It’s not true.
He writes that the US was in the grip of “the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression”; that’s not even close. The economy grew by more than 6%, employment fell and inflation was 1.4%. Moreover, despite the Covid pandemicwas 79%, a figure rarely reached in the past four years. Those are the facts.
There is no point in pushing back against the president’s economic mythology; people know they are no better off than when Biden took office.
Despite all of Biden’s fantasies, the nation remains unmoved. Biden’s approval ratings have reached record lows despite the formerly secluded president’s recent flurry of public appearances. According to FiveThirtyEight’s analysis, only 35.6 percent currently approve of Biden’s performance, which is lower than the 38.6% scored by President-elect Trump. after the January 6 protests at the Capitol.

Worse, a recent CNN poll found that 61% of the country views Biden’s presidency as a failure. 38% watch it as a success.
The good news is that Americans are paying attention and don’t believe Joe Biden anymore. They view Biden as a terrible president based on his record, even though Democrats and their allies in the liberal media tell them otherwise. That is why they elected Donald Trump and why they will cheer the end of the Biden era on January 20.
