Joe Biden sent tweets attacking Donald Trump for not taking responsibility during the summer of 2020.
By every measure the country is worse off under Biden than it was under Trump – inflation, gas prices, supply chain issues, product shortages, immigration, violent crime, race relations, etc.
Yet, Biden always is ready to blame someone/something else for the nation’s problems – Putin, Russia, Trump, greedy oil executives, greedy supermarkets, greedy food producers, greedy farmers, greedy gas station owners, etc.
It would seem that immigration is one thing Biden wouldn’t even try to blame others for. He, Harris (the immigration czar who has never been to the actual border) and Mayorkas have “control” (or what they claim is control). On his first day as President, Biden signed a number of executive orders virtually guaranteeing that illegal immigration would soar. ICE has been handcuffed and deportations are almost nonexistent. Yet, Biden and Mayorkas blamed soaring illegal immigration on climate change and COVID – like those didn’t exist in the last year of the Trump presidency.
The good news is that most Americans (except rabid Democrats) have stopped buying Biden’s excuses.
President Joe Biden has pushed the presidency to a place it hasn’t been in nearly 50 years.
In the latest Gallup poll, less than a quarter of those surveyed have “confidence” in the presidency, worse than during the Trump presidency and nearly as bad as the end of the George W. Bush presidency.
Going back to 1975, Gallup has never recorded a confidence reading as low as Biden’s 23%.
“The largest declines in confidence are 11 percentage points for the Supreme Court — as reported in late June before the court issued controversial rulings on gun laws and abortion — and 15 points for the presidency, matching the 15-point drop in President Joe Biden’s job approval rating since the last confidence survey in June 2021,” said Gallup.
“All three party groups are much less confident in the presidency than they were a year ago, showing declines of at least 10 points,” added the polling outfit of its annual confidence survey.

More than just another bad poll for Biden, Gallup was another sign of the nation’s feelings about the lackluster president, and it comes during a building wave of anti-Biden sentiment from Democrats.
For example, in his daily blog, political analyst Mark Halperin played up reports of Democratic dissatisfaction with the president and calls by liberal leaders and celebrities to either energize his agenda or get out of the way.
“Nearly every political and substantive domestic problem of the Biden administration is on vivid display in this news cycle,” he said in steering his readers to reports about the president’s woes.
Biden is polling poorly in demographic groups that led to his 2020 election – youth (18-34): 22%, Hispanics: 24% and even blacks: 49%.
Imagine who the media would cover these results had Donald Trump recorded them.
