The latest spectacle from President Joe Biden showcases his apparent inability to grasp the importance of decorum, especially when it comes to something as serious as the faith he claims to uphold. Biden, a self-proclaimed Catholic, recently proved that he might need a refresher course on piety when he decided to use an expletive during a press conference at the White House. During a moment when he should have been exemplifying grace and fortitude, he instead delivered yet another cringe-worthy performance, seemingly unaware that invoking the Lord’s name in such a manner doesn’t exactly scream “man of faith.”
This incident unfolded following the signing of the Social Security Fairness Act, which, despite its bureaucratic sounding name, was overshadowed by Biden’s alarming outburst. When asked if he still viewed former President Donald Trump as a “threat to democracy,” instead of seizing the opportunity to articulate a coherent stance—something as simple as “No, I do not”—Biden reacted petulantly. Of course, this is par for the course for a leader who has proven time and again that he’s better suited to a stage in a community theater production than the Oval Office.
In a moment that would make any reasonable person question his ability to govern effectively, Biden exclaimed that he has met more world leaders than the reporters present had in their “whole goddam** life.” While this weak attempt at a power move might have resonated with a certain crowd, it left many wondering whether Biden could find a coherent thought in between stumbles and slips. It seems that the more he speaks, the more the public discovers that he’s not just unfit for the presidency but also increasingly detached from the everyday concerns of the average American.
This outburst is emblematic of a larger issue. The president’s track record reflects a sentiment that perhaps he has mislaid his moral compass, which might explain why hoards of voters have been left disillusioned by his leadership. His son, Hunter, has garnered a notorious reputation for questionable actions, and one can’t help but wonder if Biden’s penchant for theatrical rants is due to a shared genetic disposition towards scandal and bad judgment. All of this begs the question: How can a man who claims to stand for high moral values take such liberties with his language and behavior?
WE KNOW TRUMP IS NOW THE PRESIDENT. WHY CAN'T BIDEN BE EVICTED?

It is clear that Biden has revealed himself to be the antithesis of the “lovable Grandpa Joe” image that the media has tried to paint. Rather, he comes off as an irate, spiteful figure who can’t handle even the simplest of inquiries. This latest escapade highlights not only his anger management issues but also his apparent struggle with his own identity as a devout Catholic. As he continues on his journey as president, the unveiling of his true character could lead to a fitting conclusion to an administration sorely lacking in leadership and integrity.
One wonders if Biden is even remotely aware of the legacy he is building. With a track record of failure, misjudgment, and an uncanny knack for making emotional outbursts, perhaps the most fitting epitaph for his presidency would be one of weakness and arrogance. The public is more than aware that this will not be remembered as a golden era of leadership. Instead, it will likely be cataloged as yet another chapter in American political history that illustrates what happens when competence is sacrificed on the altar of ego.
