President Biden continues to display his penchant for firing up the division in American politics, this time by seemingly calling for the imprisonment of his predecessor, Donald Trump. In a recent address, Biden’s commentary stirred a whirlwind of reactions that can only be described as “pointing fingers in the schoolyard,” as he echoed sentiments that sounded a lot like a call for political retribution rather than a reasoned discussion about justice and law.
The reek of hypocrisy is palpable. One might recall that a number of Democrats, including Biden himself, were quick to bash the idea of using the legal system as a tool for political vendettas during Trump’s presidency. Now, however, it seems that the old adage about people living in glass houses doesn’t apply to those cozying up in the ivory tower of the White House. Biden’s team has taken a page right out of the ’70s political playbook, combining drama with a good dose of melodrama in visuals of Trump in an orange jumpsuit.

Readers of the New York Post weren’t shy about weighing in on Biden’s latest antics. Many expressed their disbelief that the President, rather than focusing on pressing issues like the economy or security concerns, is instead fixated on persecuting a former President. It appears Biden has made the economical choice to side with gossip rather than gestures of unity; after all, who needs bipartisan cooperation when you have a political enemy to demonize?
Adding to this circus, Biden’s comments seemed to overlook a critical issue: the reality that ordinary Americans are dealing with skyrocketing inflation, supply chain mishaps, and the unmistakable feeling that safety is becoming a quaint memory instead of a guarantee. Instead of addressing these tangible concerns, Biden played the role of the ringleader, diverting attention and channeling anger towards a man no longer in office. The irony is thick; while Trump was accused of undermining democracy, here’s Biden, seemingly ready to throw the book at him with a twist of political theatre.
As the dust settles on this latest spectacle, it’s clear that the Biden administration would rather orchestrate the downfall of Trump than provide competent leadership for all Americans. Rather than bring the country together, Biden’s comments serve as yet another reminder of a political climate where leaders seem more intent on scorekeeping against their rivals than on solving actual problems. So buckle up, America; with tactics like these, it promises to be a rollercoaster that nobody asked for but everyone seems to be stuck on.
