In what can only be described as a masterclass in delusion, President Biden recently sat down with USA Today’s Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page for an exit interview that could easily qualify as part of a comedy routine. The president openly claimed he believes he could have outperformed President-elect Trump in a hypothetical rematch. If only the past were as malleable as Biden’s grasp on reality!
Biden, with his trademark confidence, suggested that the electorate would have favored him over the bombastic Trump had he decided to run again. Of course, this is the same president who has consistently viewed his tenure as one of unmitigated success, despite a mountain of evidence suggesting otherwise. His logic seems to hinge on a magical thinking approach, where ignoring record inflation and a border crisis somehow equates to electoral victory.
It’s curious that Biden thinks he has any shot at taking on Trump again. The only “victory” he managed was achieving a 47-year career of promising change that never came, which somehow doesn’t seem to align with a winning campaign strategy. It isn’t clear if he truly believes these musings or if he simply enjoys the sound of his voice echoing across a landscape littered with his administration’s misguided policies.

As Democrats continue to push the narrative that they somehow represent the average American, one has to wonder if Biden has truly taken a good look in the mirror. Between the declining approval ratings and a significant portion of the American public wishing for a new leadership direction, his confidence comes off as more of a fantasy than a plausible political scenario. The reality on the ground suggests that most Americans are more interested in practical solutions rather than Biden’s idealized visions of grandeur.
Perhaps the real takeaway from this interview isn’t just Biden’s fanciful claims, but rather a reminder of the stark divide between how political leaders view their legacies versus how the average American feels walking through grocery store aisles, comparing prices. The chasm between Biden’s reflections and the experiences of everyday citizens has never been wider, raising questions about who exactly he thinks he’s convincing—and just how far removed from reality the current administration really is.
