The recent meeting between President-elect Donald Trump and Joe Biden at the White House was a spectacle worth watching, highlighting the absurdity of the Democrats’ previous smears against Trump. For years, they painted him as a “threat to democracy” and even went so far as to liken him to Hitler. Yet there Biden was, grinning from ear to ear, exchanging pleasantries with the very man he had vilified. This meeting could not have been more revealing of the Democrats’ hypocrisy and desperation as they find themselves grappling with an unforeseen political landscape.
The optics of the meeting alone speak volumes. Joe Biden, who spent the last election cycle rallying against Trump as if he were the second coming of the Fourth Reich, was now playing nice with the supposed villain of the piece. This picture of cordiality is a stark contrast to the bitter and divisive rhetoric the left has peddled for years and indicates a realization that their past tactics might need some serious reevaluation. After all, the sight of Biden eagerly shaking hands with Trump was enough to make any rational observer question the integrity of the Democrats’ prior claims.
Interestingly, even Jill Biden seemed to embrace the new reality, handing a congratulatory letter from her to Melania Trump. One can’t help but wonder what the true feelings are behind the façade. This congrats card, undoubtedly meant to maintain a semblance of decorum, exposes the widening gap between what the Democrats portray to their base and the pragmatic approach they take in private. The notion that Jill Biden, along with the rest of the staff, seemed delighted to meet Trump amplifies the rumor that Biden may even regret his allegiance to the party’s more radical elements.

Biden’s demeanor during this historic meeting reflected almost an unsettling delight, starkly contrasting the chilly reception his own Vice President Kamala Harris received at a recent Veterans Day event. While Jill Biden appeared all smiles with Trump, the body language between Jill and Kamala suggested a very different relationship. The apparent joy radiating from Biden in the presence of Trump can only serve to further the speculation that perhaps he harbors secret desires for a Trump presidency over the radical policies of his own party.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, this meeting might signal a turning point for Democrats, forcing them to confront the reality that their narrative regarding Trump has crumbled. The once-solidified “twin towers” of their rhetoric — the intense fear of fascism and outright disdain for Trump’s leadership — have been replaced by the reality of bipartisanship at a time when their base is left scratching their heads. As the meeting reverberates through political commentary, it becomes clear that the Biden-Hindenburg analogy holds more weight than ever: with the gas rapidly escaping, the Democrats will need to find new means to stay afloat.
