Joe Biden is a different man than he was four years ago. Every day, he loses more and more of his hopeless bet against the clock. As his team descends into deceit, the fearful question arises: Who will tell Biden that his political clock is up? The analysis of a fiasco.
Constant repetition eventually becomes automatic. Doing something without thinking about it is called muscle memory in sports. These processes are constantly subjected to quality control: Does this still lead to success or should this go away?
The automatisms of US President Joe Biden’s inner circle need to be formatted. The trained reflexes of the almost 82-year-old after cognitive blunders ignore the fact that a different man is now participating in the race than four years ago. Biden’s turning points are also becoming increasingly visible outside his appearances.
Collective Downplaying of the White House
Behind closed doors, Biden was “clear and precise,” his White House team said. The disastrous televised debate in Atlanta against Donald Trump was blamed on cold and jet lag caused by travel stress. The fact is: At the time of Biden’s stammer, the last time zone change had been days ago.
Biden and his team came into office in 2020 as bridge builders. The political professional with decades of experience actually wanted to hand over the baton to a younger generation after his first term. However, the fantastic results of the Democrats in the midterm elections may have been misinterpreted internally.
Dangerous bet against time
The bridge became a dam. Biden has not accepted any internal competitors besides himself. His team, consisting of his family and a small circle of advisors, made him believe that only he could beat Trump. Political gambling with consequences for the entire world. It is a dangerous gamble against an invincible opponent: time.
At the end of the NATO summit on Thursday, Biden again revealed that the odds could not be more stacked against him. He is losing — and it is clear. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was quickly introduced as “President Putin,” and his vice president was later changed from “Harris” to “Trump.”
Zelensky responds to Biden’s faux pas:
The party leaders present sank into their chairs, the world press whispered. And then? Muscle memory! That can happen, the rest of the performance was very “clear”.
Professional blindness among the Democrats?
Biden’s team is denying the world public its maturity. What you saw, but misunderstood, is the message that is currently opening the door to Trump’s autocratic dreams. According to the polls, the US president is in free fall.
Biden’s entourage has formed an increasingly protective circle around him in recent years. The American president is completely shielded. Not in decades has a ‘commander in chief’ given so few interviews and press conferences. The White House must also know how serious the situation is.
Cotton Candy for Biden
In meetings with aides putting together formal briefings for Biden, some senior officials have at times gone to great lengths to frame the information presented so as not to provoke a negative reaction. The 81-year-old is known for hitting back hard at unpleasant topics.
Employees are often told, “You can’t install that, it will upset him.” Or, “Incorporate that, he likes it,” one senior administration official told Politico. “It’s a Rorschach test, not a briefing. Because he’s not a pleasant person when he’s briefed. It’s very difficult, and people are terrified of him.”
Public as a danger zone for Biden
Biden’s schedule is a major concern. His public appearances have been kept to a minimum. Even presidential feel-good appointments are being canceled, such as the traditional brief interview before the “Super Bowl.” Anything unscripted carries terrible dangers.
Biden seems increasingly absent when reading teleprompters. For example, instructions such as “pause” are written on the screen in front of the lectern to give the prescribed speech a rhythm. The American president reads these instructions over and over, giving the impression that he is being controlled from a distance. He often notices the failures himself, but this self-reflection is also decreasing.
An example of Biden’s teleprompter failure:
Since the Atlanta debate disaster, which probably came as no surprise to anyone internally, crisis meetings have been held almost daily. Many Democrats and major donors have now ignored the White House’s outdated knee-jerk line.
Clooney text in consultation with Obama?
An emotional op-ed by Hollywood actor George Clooney in the ‘New York Times’ got a lot of attention. He “loves” Biden, but saw a changed man at a fundraising gala he organized. The man the world sees now.
According to Politico, the influential Biden supporter had contact with Barack Obama before the publication of his article. The former American president would not have encouraged Clooney to make his statements, but more importantly: Obama did not try to stop the text either. The American newspaper did not provide further details.
God of Biden’s team?
The ex-president also appeared at the glamorous event in Los Angeles. Video footage of the evening shows Obama having to escort his former deputy off the stage after Biden got lost. Again, White House muscle memory kicked in. All nonsense and evil.
Instead, it is repeatedly emphasized that the American president is convinced of his candidacy. Biden recently made it clear that he would only withdraw if his team told him: “I can’t win.” Or if God spoke to him. The question remains: who will tell him? It’s time!
