Alina Habba’s viral video offering a peek into Joe Biden’s elaborate “fake Oval Office” will surely convince even the most skeptical conservatives that the man was merely a figurehead during his presidency. Habba, an attorney for former President Donald Trump, took viewers on a quick tour of the set constructed in the Old Executive Office Building where Biden conducted many of his press events. The first revelation? A glaringly obvious teleprompter was prominently placed to guide Biden through his scripted performances. It’s hard not to chuckle at the sheer absurdity of it all.
In an age where genuine leadership is expected, Biden’s reliance on a teleprompter serves as prime evidence of just how out of touch he is. It seems even the Democrats have recognized that allowing him to function unscripted is a risk too great to take. Instead, they opted for this flimsy imitation of a presidential office, complete with digital projections of flower-filled gardens, making his public appearances appear more like a poorly executed reality show than the leadership of the free world.
This tape highlights the inconsistencies in how Biden handled appearances compared to Trump. While Trump took his press conferences seriously in the real Oval Office, Biden hid behind a set built across the street, looking like he had less authority than a substitute teacher hoping to keep a rowdy class in line. Did he really think no one would notice? The stark contrast begs the question of whether the media would be this lenient if a Republican president opted to hide from the cameras in such a manner.

Biden’s approach raises thoughts about the implications of herding a candidate who is decidedly elderly and unable to keep pace with the demands of the role. His aides seem to have taken one look at his stumbling gait and decided it was safer to keep him in the faux comfort of a bone-white room instead of risking the image of the presidency being a former, if slightly less credible, reality show contestant facing the pressing issues of the nation. Instead, it became a sterile room where scripted lines are fed to an increasingly bewildered leader.
Even media outlets that have historically gone soft on Democrat administrations could not avoid the obvious in their analysis of Biden’s situation. Politico’s readers were treated to a candid acknowledgment of Biden’s fragile state, noting concerns about his ability to withstand another campaign’s rigors, which is odd considering he had already managed a full presidency from the confines of a soundstage. The media might have wanted to bury this revelation, but thanks to Habba’s timely reminder, the curtain has been drawn back for everyone to see how far from reality Biden retreated during his time in office.
Had Kamala Harris been in the president’s seat, there’s a good chance this amusing charade would never have seen the light of day. But Trump’s resilience in challenging the status quo is now whipping the dust off the shelves of history. The narrative that Biden was somehow ‘in charge’ feels more like a mythology than a fact, and this faux Oval Office serves as an unwelcome reminder of those years when the rabbit hole went far deeper than anyone wanted to acknowledge. The lapdog media may have come to Biden’s defense on many occasions, but the numbing reality remains clear: this was not the leadership constitutional conservatives deserve.
