President Joe Biden will hit his 1,000th day in office Tuesday—but he’s spent more than 300 of those days lounging at his two properties in Delaware or vacationing in places like Lake Tahoe. I’m no math major, but that sounds to me like he’s spent almost a third of his presidency on leisure time.
The octogenarian also spent 89 days at Camp David, the 25-acre country retreat in the hills of Maryland used by sitting presidents. Despite declaring in September that climate change is "the only existential threat humanity faces," he's seemingly willing to fire up gas-guzzling Air Force One at the drop of a hat:
An analysis of his schedule, issued daily by the White House, shows he spent all or part of 300 days at one of his two homes in Delaware, or vacationing.
He owns a six-bedroom, 4,786 sq ft beach house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware which he bought for $2.74 million in 2017.
His other Delaware home is a 6,850 sq ft mansion in Wilmington which is worth over $2 million.
In addition to numerous trips to both Delaware homes Biden's other recent holidays included a week-long trip to Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
He was flown to Lake Tahoe on Air Force One and then rented - for an undisclosed fee - a home from Tom Steyer, the billionaire climate activist who ran unsuccessfully for president as a Democrat in 2020.
Despite being more than willing to take time away from the White House, Joe has not found the time to visit East Palestine, OH, the site of a February toxic chemical disaster (he said he hadn’t "been able to break"). Meanwhile, he's he had only one “tightly controlled” visit to the southern border, where his policies have caused utter chaos and mass illegal immigration. On that trip, he didn’t actually see any of the thousands of people trying to get into our country nor did he get anywhere close to the real action—instead, he mostly spoke with officials and border patrol agents.
While deadly wildfires burned in Maui, Biden didn't both to interrupt yet another vacation, and when asked by a reporter about the situation, he smirked and said, "No comment." He eventually went to the Hawaiian island but it was days later.
He's found plenty of time to hit the beach though:
This social media post sums it up nicely:
The tweet continues:
While Americans burned alive during the Maui wildfires due to failings by local government ran by Democrats, Biden went to the beach and vacationed.
And while Americans were captured and murdered by Hamas terrorists in Israel, Biden hosted a bbq at the White House.
Democrats don’t care Americans [sic], and their America last actions and policies show it.
To make matters worse, even when the president is actually at the White House and presumably working, he still hides from the press and the public:
In his first 1,000 days he has conducted only 13 solo press conferences, according to figures compiled by the the American Presidency Project...
He has so far held 17 joint press conferences with other world leaders, while Trump did 44 and Obama 43 in his first term.
By the end of June this year Biden had conducted 41 interviews as president, according to unofficial White House statistician Mark Knoller, a former CBS white house correspondent.
That compared to Trump's 190 and Obama's 329 interviews at the same point.
Biden did far more interviews as vice president than he does now. At that time he would sometimes appear live on three TV networks on the same day.
Biden's frailty appears to be getting sharply worse lately, and he looked old, tired, and out of it during Sunday's "60 Minutes" interview. It is clear that he does not have the stamina to tackle the presidency, one of the toughest and most stressful jobs in the world. As the recent Hamas terror attacks have shown, we need a leader who is at the top of his game, and that is certainly not someone who is absent almost 30 percent of the time.
I don't hold his age or his decline against him personally—it's a reality that every single living thing on Earth faces at some point.
I'd say he has no business being in the Oval Office, but it's a pretty good bet that he's not there anyway.
