Self-Diluted Biden’s Final Days: Promoting Familiar Falsehoods and Solidifying His Controversial Legacy

Joe Biden is concluding his tenure much like he began—enveloped in a haze of self-deception and surrounded by falsehoods.

He set out to be a champion of decency, a guardian of norms and the law.

He positioned himself as a uniter, a figure intended to guide the nation towards recovery post-pandemic, a man of honesty and impeccable ethics, in stark contrast to his unfortunate predecessor.

However, behind the scenes, in the dark corners of his mind, Joe was primarily concerned with two things: personal elevation and retribution.

He offered platitudes about noble objectives, but fundamentally, he was all about his own interests.

That has been the case throughout his life.

This is exemplified by his family life, which he and Jill have always presented as idealistic, akin to the Waltons.

Now he departs office as one of the most disliked presidents in history, second only to Nixon, according to a recent Gallup poll.

In the days leading up to his lackluster exit, he and Jill are hastily making the rounds, giving pre-packaged speeches and engaging in soft interviews in a futile attempt to polish his “legacy.”

His final address from the Oval Office on Wednesday night was a culmination of these scripted fantasies, filled with exaggerations and historical allusions written by others.

The most divisive president of recent times insisted he had “fulfilled my promise to be president for all Americans.”

The leader whose administration pressured social media platforms into silencing American voices, including content from the New York Post, claimed to advocate for a “free and independent press.”

Characterized by Deceit

The habitual liar, whose career is tainted by plagiarism, falsehoods, and corruption, cautioned of a future where “truth is buried under lies told for power and profit.”

The individual whose family profited off selling influence to dubious oligarchs and entities linked to the Chinese Communist Party, who recently awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros, lamented the influence of “dark money.”

His address did nothing to shift perceptions about Biden’s legacy. No one is deceived.

Additionally, he released a farewell letter on Wednesday, absurdly claiming he has left the nation “stronger, more prosperous and more secure.”

Nothing could be further from reality.

Under his presidency, America is embroiled in two proxy conflicts, millions of unvetted illegal immigrants traverse the country, we recently endured the second-worst terrorist attack since 9/11, and inflation has devastated the middle class.

The president who weaponized the Justice Department against political opponents and regularly maligned Donald Trump and his supporters as “fascists” also asserted he was a unifier: “We came together as Americans, and… we emerged stronger, more prosperous, and more secure.”

No one believes it.

His legacy is unveiled in two special counsel reports published this week: Jack Smith’s final efforts claimed the president-elect would have been found guilty if not for his electoral victory.

Hunter Biden protector-turned-prosecutor David Weiss’ unsatisfactory 27-page report overlooked serious misconduct in his investigation of the first son in Delaware, which would have led to no charges if IRS whistleblowers had not exposed DOI obstruction.

However, the American populace recognized the corruption for what it was and rejected Joe Biden at the polls.

Yet, Biden interprets the election results as anything but a personal condemnation.

He proclaimed last week he would have successfully won the election if his party hadn’t sidelined him.

Claiming Credit

Egotistical and small until the very end, Biden held a press conference on Wednesday to arrogantly claim credit for the hostage deal in Israel, avoiding any mention of Trump, despite acknowledgments from both Israeli and Arab officials attributing the breakthrough to the president-elect.

“If they [the hostages] are not back by the time I take office, all hell will break loose,” Trump had cautioned Hamas and Iran last month, and as reported by The Times of Israel, Trump’s negotiator Steve Witkoff has done “more to influence [Israeli PM Benjamin] Netanyahu than outgoing president Joe Biden did in an entire year.”

However, when a reporter asked Biden how much of the credit should go to Trump for the deal, he retorted: “Well, this is the exact framework that I proposed back in May — exact.”

If that’s the case, why weren’t the hostages released at that time?

As he departed the podium, another reporter inquired who should receive credit for the deal, “you or Trump?” Biden halted, turned his head with a sarcastic smile and snapped, “Is that a joke?”

He then turned and swiftly exited the room.

Classic Biden—a graceless bid for ego satisfaction that epitomizes his character.

Indeed, legacy is extremely significant to Joe and Jill.

It deeply occupies the couple.

It is a “family project,” as The Washington Post referred to Jill’s outlook in a sentimental interview published on Wednesday, in which she revealed her resentment towards former Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her betrayal against Joe.

“We were friends for 50 years. It was disheartening,” Jill remarked.

Despite the animosity, she is resolute about enhancing her own legacy as “a healer who traveled the nation to console Americans as they emerged from the depths of the pandemic.”

Her proudest moment? A state dinner held for teachers who were overwhelmed by the grandiosity and ceremonial aspects she orchestrated.

“It took their breath away,” she conveys with pride.

She worries that “people won’t give Joe credit for some of his successes… I hope they remember Joe as a strong, empathetic president with integrity and character. I mean, character truly is everything, isn’t it?”

Indeed. Character defines destiny. Joe’s is now etched in history as permanently as the notable figures on Mount Rushmore, whose memory he tarnished, and whose legacy Pelosi absurdly suggested he might one day share.

However, legacies cannot be forced.

They are the cumulative result of one’s character, the lives lived, the impact made on others, the values of the children raised, and the judgment of those who witnessed one’s actions.

America recognizes Joe Biden for who he truly is, a one-term failure, a Tammany Hall conman who betrayed his country, an intolerable braggart whose only notable trait is that he inflicted more damage than all his predecessors.

His administration was nothing more than a brief and regrettable interruption of the truly historic presidency of the man he endeavored to dismantle.

Joe’s legacy will always be overshadowed by Trump in the annals of history.
