Monday evening America witnessed a true performance of Bidenesque proportions as President Joe Biden took to the podium to address the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in Trump v. United States. This ruling, as clear as it was decisive, found that presidents have immunity when acting in an official capacity. However, in classic Joe fashion, Biden managed to spiel for under four minutes, sidestepping any real engagement by refusing to answer questions.
The President, apparently channeling his inner drama teacher, announced his agreement with Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s dissent by shouting, “I dissent!” Joe Biden, always the master of his own script, read directly from pre-written notes, parroting complaints that “today’s decision almost certainly means there are virtually no limits on what a president can do.” Ignoring the fact that the decision specifically pertains to official actions, Biden insisted on spinning a tale of doomsday scenarios where the law no longer constrains the presidency.

For a man who famously avoids improvised exchanges, Biden still managed to detour into a rant against the Supreme Court, dragging out the familiar liberal paranoia checklist. He blamed the Court for supposedly reducing voting and civil rights, taking away reproductive choices, and now allegedly attacking the rule of law itself. To cap it off, Biden threw in the kitchen sink by recalling January 6, hammering the narrative about it being a dark day in American history and subtly jabbing at Trump.
Unsurprisingly, Biden glossed over the fact that Trump, on that fateful day, explicitly urged his supporters to stay peaceful. While Biden tried to keep the blame game going, he conveniently forgot the footage and statements showing Trump’s calls for peace. As Biden droned on, the Trump War Room Twitter account was quick to flood timelines with reminders and evidence that Trump condemned violence and called for calm.
As if sticking to his script had an expiration date, Biden tiredly segued into attacking the judicial system, lamenting that the Supreme Court decision hinders America’s opportunity to hold Trump accountable before the next election. It was purportedly a great disservice to the nation, Biden claimed, as if putting political opponents on trial were the epitome of democratic electoral processes.
Perhaps the highlight of Biden’s evening drama was comparing himself favorably to Trump while ironically asserting his respect for presidential limits, all while being notorious for bragging about defying the Supreme Court’s student loan decisions. Anyone paying attention might catch Biden’s notorious double standards, as he paid lip service to respecting the presidency’s legal boundaries—apparently with fingers crossed behind his teleprompter.
Biden wrapped up his teleprompted soliloquy by echoing Justice Sotomayor’s—now ‘Sotomayer’ in Joe speak—overstretched warnings about presidential power. Concluding with a theatrical “I dissent. May God bless you all and may God help preserve democracy,” Biden shuffled off stage, ignoring questions. This wasn’t just a political address; it was an audition for a lifetime achievement award in Washington theatrics. And just like that, America was reminded once again of the fleeting answers and prolonged questions about Biden’s fitness for office—both mental and political.
