While our diminished president spends the weekend making his 38th trip to Delaware, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson traveled to Kyiv this weekend to meet with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“America is back” indeed.
I mentioned last week that old Joe turned into a braggart when he was in Europe two weeks ago, proudly declaring himself the “leader of the free world.”
But he isn’t the leader of the free world, is he?
He’s a decrepit, senile old crank who has so diminished America’s standing in the world, that he’s created a vacuum. And European leaders, no longer confident in America’s ability to lead while Joe Biden is president, are the ones stepping in to fill it.
French President Emmanuel Macron is continuing negotiations with Vladimir Putin to bring an end to the war while Boris Johnson is making the journey to Ukraine that the White House didn’t want to risk when Joe was in Europe.
You want to see the headline from the UK Express?
‘Probably riding his bike’ Joe Biden torn apart as he goes MIA while Boris walks Kyiv
He’s either riding his bike or watching a “Matlock” marathon on TV. Who the hell knows what he gets up to in Delaware?
What a no-good, very bad week this has been for Joe Biden.
First Barack Obama upstages him at the White House.
Now Boris Johnson upstages him on the world stage.
What’s more, Johnson’s trip was kept quiet until after the fact. And, with the pomp of a Gender Reveal Party, both the UK and Ukraine broke the news to the rest of the world.
And for a White House obsessed with optics, I’m sure seeing the images and videos of Johnson and Zelensky walking the streets of Kyiv was a kick in the nuts, especially as their doofus of a boss was once again tucked safely away in Delaware.
The Biden people hoped the diminished old man in the White House would get a good three weeks of favorable press over the First Black Woman Supreme Court JusticeTM news. They thought this “Big Win” (that was a fait accompli) would give Joe a much-needed boost in the polls.
And with one secret trip to Ukraine, Boris Johnson just pissed in their Corn Flakes.
You think the people in the White House aren’t aware of how bad this makes Biden look that Boris Johnson and his messy hair took the trip old Joe was too afraid to take?
They must be furious right now.
Whether old Joe is aware of it from his hidey-hole in Delaware remains to be seen. Eventually, someone will probably tell him. And vain braggart that he is, Joe will demand someone get that son of a bitch Tony Blair on the phone pronto!
Our allies have no respect for Joe Biden.
And they certainly don’t trust him.
And really? Why should they?
These guys aren’t stupid. They can see what we can see: a meandering confused old man whose staffers have to issue “clarification” statements every time he opens his mouth.
Besides, President Biden screwed them over during the Afghanistan withdrawal. They’d be fools to trust him when Europe is on the cusp of World War Three.
Better to step into the void the diminished Biden created and take the lead themselves.
Before he was elected, Joe Biden was already an inconsequential, diminished man.
But now as President of the United States, Joe has diminished the entire country.
