As the Biden presidency continues to unfold, the country finds itself hurtling toward a national and international emergency of epic proportions. Biden, it seems, lacks both the stamina and the cogency to perform the duties of his office effectively. It’s hardly surprising for those who watched his stumbles and mumbling speeches throughout the campaign trail; after all, selecting a candidate based on identity politics rather than capability tends to have dire consequences.
Americans might be shocked to learn that the man in charge of the nuclear codes gets lost on his way to press conferences. Meanwhile, the leaders of rogue nations and adversaries worldwide must be narrowing their eyes and rubbing their hands together in anticipation. They see a weakened America and an opportunity to push their agendas, with a president napping through security briefings and stumbling over basic policy discussions.
Forget dropping his campaign — Biden must drop his presidency for the good of the country https://t.co/JswEbDt6K7 pic.twitter.com/nxMbSMsRpk

The international stage is no place for a leader who can’t tell the difference between Ukraine and Iran. Just last month, Biden referred to a country that doesn’t even exist, leaving allies bewildered and adversaries emboldened. This is the kind of leadership—or lack thereof—that results from prioritizing diversity quotas over competence. America’s allies are left guessing whether the United States will uphold its commitments or need a nap halfway through negotiations.
Domestically, it’s not much better. Doctor’s appointments should not be a staple of the president’s daily schedule, but here we are. Concerns over Biden’s health—both physical and mental—have gone beyond idle gossip; it’s a matter of national security. Americans deserve a president who can keep pace with the demands of the office, not one whose naps are longer than his cabinet meetings.
In an era where the stakes couldn’t be higher, the nation is stuck with a leader who can barely handle a press conference, let alone the complexities of global diplomacy and domestic governance. The situation has become so dire that one has to wonder: Can America withstand three more years of this? For now, the country needs to brace itself and prepare for more international gaffes and domestic debacles—an unsettling reality for the land of the free and the home of the brave.
