You know you’re in hassle when each former Joe Biden sycophants Stephen Colbert and Emmanuel Macron dump on you in the identical week.
Colbert, the incessantly unfunny late-night present comic and French President Emmanuel Macron, a Charles De Gaulle wannabe, each turned on Biden, a president they each as soon as admired on the similar time.
Colbert mocked Biden, 80, for his gaffe-laden feedback to NBC’s “Today” present host Al Roker throughout the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll.
After Roker requested if he deliberate to run for re-election, Biden stumbled round after which mentioned, “I’ll either be rolling an egg or end up being the guy who’s pushing them out” — no matter meaning.
Colbert then joked about Biden being “mentally fit” to run once more.
It could have been humorous, however Roker acquired extra out of Biden than the reporters who cowl the White House. Biden doesn’t maintain press conferences.
The Macron break with Biden over Taiwan and America’s position in Europe was far more severe.
Following a Beijing assembly with Chinese President Xi Jinping — throughout which the Communist Chinese practiced an invasion of Taiwan, Macron mentioned it was fallacious for France and Europe to facet with the U.S.
“The question Europe needs to answer,” Macron mentioned “is it in our interest to accelerate (a crisis) over Taiwan? No. The worst thing would be to think that we Europeans must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the U.S. agenda and a Chinese overreaction.”
Macron additionally referred to as on the European Union to cut back its dependence on the U.S. with a view to keep away from changing into a vassal of the U.S. Instead he proposed that Europe change into “a 3rd pressure, alongside Washington and Beijing, which was De Gaulle’s pipedream following World War II.
While Macron was criticized for his feedback by different European leaders, his message to Biden was clear. And that message is that France doesn’t have Joe Biden’s again or the again of U.S. with regards to Taiwan.
And that is coming from the chief of a rustic that was saved by U.S. intervention in World War One and World War Two.
It would have been refreshing had Biden referred to as Macron to inform him to go to Normandy Beach the place 10,000 American troopers are buried, killed within the expanded Normandy invasion to free France from the clutches of Nazi Germany.
Of course, there was no response — no remark or cellphone name — from Biden, both earlier than, throughout or following his go to to Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic.
It was simply one other humiliation from one other overseas chief who has misplaced all respect for Joe Biden, a lack of respect that started along with his disastrous, botched and lethal abandonment of Afghanistan, his warfare on home fossil gasoline, his insane open borders coverage and large intelligence leaks.
Biden in impact has no world leaders to name—if certainly they’d take his name. Nobody fears him.
You could dislike him — and there’s a lot to dislike — however Vladimir Putin wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine if Donald Trump had been president.
Nor would Putin have arrested Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich on phony espionage expenses. If he did on Trump’s watch, Trump would have had him freed by now.
Biden is the Rodney Dangerfield of the American presidency. He will get no respect.
Biden doesn’t even speak with China’s Xi Jinping, who’s on the verge of invading Taiwan and beginning a significant warfare. Nor does he have the seriousness of function to inform Xi Jinping to cease transport over the components of fentanyl to the Mexican cartels who sending it by way of open borders to kill 1000’s of younger Americans.
Instead, searching for pals, he made a pit cease in Northern Ireland to commemorate the twenty fifth anniversary of the peacekeeping Good Friday Accord, which he had nothing to do with, earlier than visiting his ancestral residence within the Irish Republic.
No doubt the 1.9 million individuals in Northern Ireland had been happy.
The 1.9 million unlawful immigrants (not counting the getaways) President Rodney Dangerfield invited into the nation in fiscal 2022 are additionally happy.
