In the latest episode of what can only be described as a political circus, President Joe Biden is continuing his tour in Africa, where his performance has been anything but stellar. From confused dance routines to reportedly dozing during high-stakes meetings with African leaders, Biden seems more occupied with catching Z’s than taking care of business. While on a tarmac in Angola, he noticeably dozed off, and it wasn’t just a quick nap. In fact, he napped long enough for people to quietly wonder if he was auditioning for a sleep study. This lack of alertness raises eyebrows about his leadership on the global stage—or at least what should be a global stage.
Meanwhile, the incoming administration, led by President-elect Donald Trump, is keeping the wheels of international diplomacy spinning. Trump is reportedly in continuous communication with global leaders, sending clear warnings to actors like Vladimir Putin and Iran while addressing issues with North American neighbors Canada and Mexico. Even though Biden is busy dozing off, Trump is getting ready to attend the grand reopening of Notre Dame in France as a special guest of the French President. Can you imagine the contrast between the two leaders? One dozing off in a meeting while the other is ready to take the stage at one of the world’s most iconic sites!
While Biden might be too busy napping to notice, his administration appears to be laying down its own ground rules to stymie Trump’s forthcoming agenda. On the foreign policy front, there is a concerning trend where the current administration seems to be obstructing efforts to achieve a peaceful resolution in Ukraine. They know that Trump favors negotiation, and it looks like fear of negotiations is pushing the Biden team to hand over billions to Ukraine and other countries, including a staggering $1 billion in disaster aid to Africa.
This expenditure is particularly concerning, especially when families back home in North Carolina are struggling just to keep warm in the winter. There’s not much good that can come from pouring hard-earned American taxpayer dollars into countries abroad when right here citizens are facing real hardships. Apologies from the White House don’t keep anyone warm; they just serve as a reminder of a broken system. While Biden announces tubfuls of aid for countries overseas, many individuals in his nation can barely find a place to sleep at night.
Finally, Biden’s administration isn’t just about foreign affairs; it’s also taking a swing at domestic policies that raise eyebrows. With moves to make it easier for individuals to cross the border illegally and allowing thousands of federal employees to work from home indefinitely, it seems the goal is to create layers of confusion and complication. They’re building roadblocks to accountability and pushing policies that seem likely to upset everyday Americans. Everything going on in these vital weeks appears to be an effort to obstruct the changes the American people voted for, turning a blind eye to the needs of citizens while playing political chess with people’s lives.
As the political narrative unfolds, many Americans are watching closely to see how it all plays out. With an incoming administration ready to shake things up and a current one seemingly focused more on napping and foreign aid than solutions at home, the coming months should offer plenty of intrigue and developments for everyone who cares about the future of their country.
