The last four years of American politics have felt like a long episode of a bad sitcom, filled with gaslighting and absurdity that would make even the staunchest liberal cringe. Social media has seen leftists engage in a bizarre gymnastics act trying to mask the undeniable cognitive decline of President Biden. They peddled the outlandish idea that Trump was equally or more impaired, spinning a narrative that had more holes than Swiss cheese. Meanwhile, Biden’s aides spun tales of their boss transforming into a sharp, quick-moving dynamo the moment the cameras stopped rolling. Good luck finding any evidence of that, though.
Recent developments bring a refreshing breeze of reality. According to a Fox News report, a new study emphasizes that while Biden may have avoided the spotlight and reduced himself to a mere figurehead, Trump has been doing the exact opposite. Despite the constant barrage of critiques from a hostile media, Trump has been answering questions like a real president should. Exposing the stark contrast even further, Trump’s press secretary made it abundantly clear that he is the most open and accessible president this country has seen in modern history.

The numbers are staggering. Trump answered nearly 100 questions across his first three cabinet meetings this year alone. In stark contrast, Biden managed to muster a meager five questions in his nine cabinet meetings throughout his entire term. It’s as if Biden were under a self-imposed gag order, while Trump was out there like a kid at an ice cream store, sampling every flavor he could. Even during their respective tenures, Trump’s Cabinet meetings lasted much longer and were far more interactive, almost like he was running the show while Biden was merely showing up.
The absurdity doesn’t end there. One can’t help but remember the last rights of Biden’s Cabinet meetings. When he finally convened his Cabinet after almost a year of absence, he promptly handed the reins to his wife, Jill, declaring, “It’s all yours, kid.” Who even put Jill in charge? The mind boggles at the thought. Comparatively, Trump’s Cabinet meetings were dynamic exchanges where ideas flowed, questions proliferated, and accountability thrived, unlike the mumbling, read-from-a-teleprompter charade that was emblematic of Biden’s approach.
Fox’s article ended with a humorous twist: “Fox News Digital reached out to Biden’s staff and did not receive an immediate reply.” Color is anyone surprised? What could they possibly say that would paint Biden in anything but a fragile light? Maybe they would admit that they genuinely went out of their way to keep him away from the press, aware that he was more non compos mentis than ever. In short, a true leader engages with the media, sharing thoughts and ideas rather than ducking for cover behind a carefully crafted façade.
The difference is striking: Biden is merely a figurehead while Trump represents what it means to lead. When a real president is in the spotlight, you see initiative and interaction. When it’s a puppet president, questions are avoided and scripted answers are the order of the day. Imagine—an actual president capable of thought and communication! Where has that been?
