President Joe Biden, or more likely members of his team, have clearly realized that Americans have not been wowed by his performance over the past four years. So the White House made a last-ditch effort to convince the country that his presidency was, in fact, a success. Like a frustrated high school teacher trying to cram knowledge into the thick skulls of his students, Biden continually hammers voters with ridiculous flattery and completely false perceptions of his own accomplishments.
The country isn't buying it; the more lipstick Biden puts on his presidency, the lower his approval ratings drop.
In perhaps the final chapter of Biden's revisionist journey, his farewell address in the Oval Office on Wednesday night ended his presidency by spouting meaningless platitudes about our country's character and portraying himself as democratic. Great defender.
'Worst farewell speech in presidential history': Biden's Oval Office farewell criticized as 'dark'
The president first announced the welcome ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. Biden was apparently annoyed that U.S. and Israeli news organizations were crediting President-elect Donald Trump and his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff for the breakthrough, citing his team's eight months of non-stop negotiations. For this reason, victory was achieved. With those efforts going nowhere, most believe Hamas was simply responding to Trump's credible threat that there would be a "heavy price to pay" if the hostages were not released by Inauguration Day.
Biden has touted some of his administration's achievements, including the dubious claim of "creating" 17 million jobs (much of which was simply restoring jobs lost to COVID-19 shutdowns) and lowering violent crime rates to their lowest level in 50 years. lowest level (This figure has been debunked.)
Much of his speech, however, focused on threats facing the United States, including an unidentified "oligarchy" whose "extreme wealth, power and influence actually threaten our entire democracy."
He also complained about the need to remove "dark money" from politics and revisited the idea of requiring the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes. Such grandstanding comes from a party leader who just squandered more than a billion dollars on a failed candidate and a president who recently awarded George Soros, the embodiment of extreme wealth, power and influence, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Biden says he will ask Trump to "go strong" to defend his record on Afghanistan
Biden warned of a "rife epidemic of misinformation" and an emerging "tech industrial complex," apparently expressing concern that he and his fellow Democrats no longer control the flow of information in the United States and is led by tech entrepreneur Elon Musk. The tech industry has been shocked. Unite around Donald Trump. He also warned that climate change remains an "existential threat" and blamed recent hurricanes in North Carolina and wildfires in California on global warming.
The Oval Office speech followed a foreign policy speech earlier this week in which Biden claimed that his administration would "play a very strong role" under a Trump White House. We will leave An America with more friends and stronger alliances, with weaker adversaries and pressures." With the Afghanistan withdrawal disastrous, the extraordinary Abraham Accords stalled, Beijing's alliance with Russia and North Korea worrying, and left-wing sympathetic governments across Europe collapsing, Biden claims "the United States... is leading, uniting, and enacting agenda, bringing others together to support our plans and vision.”
Gallup said Americans disagree, saying Biden will have a worse impact on "America's standing in the world" than any recent president except George W. Bush.

Americans remember that when Biden took office, the world was at peace and our enemies—particularly Iran—were subdued. Now Ukraine is at war with Russia, there's a war in Sudan, and Israel faces a multi-front war in the Middle East as the Biden administration fails to impose sanctions on Iran. As for our participation in globalist institutions, millions of Americans doubt the value of agreements like the Paris Climate Agreement, which requires Americans to make significant economic sacrifices and almost none from China, which has so far been By far the most polluted country in the world.
Biden also wrote a letter to the American people two days ago as a preview of his farewell address laying out his views and resorting to the many half-truths and distortions of his revisionism. When the president took office he often described the country as teetering on the edge of collapse. This is not true.
He wrote that the United States was in the midst of "the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression." That's not even close. Economic growth exceeds 6%, employment has rebounded significantly, and inflation is 1.4%. In addition, despite the impact of the new crown epidemic, consumer confidence is still as high as 79%, a figure rarely reached in the past four years. These are all facts.
There is no point in refuting the president’s economic myths. People know they are no better off than they were when Biden took office.
Despite Biden’s fantasies, the nation remains unmoved. Despite the formerly reclusive president's recent public appearances, Biden's approval ratings have reached record lows. According to FiveThirtyEight analysis, only 35.6% of people currently approve of Biden’s performance, lower than President-elect Trump’s 38.6% back Protest at the Capitol on January 6th.

To make matters worse, a recent CNN poll showed that 61% of Americans believe Biden's presidency has been a failure, while 38% believe it has been a success.
The good news is that Americans are paying attention and no longer trusting Joe Biden. They judge Biden as a bad president based on his record, even though Democrats and their allies in the liberal media tell them otherwise. That's why they chose Donald Trump, and why they're celebrating the end of the Biden era on January 20th.
