 Joe Biden Has Always Thought He Was The Smartest Man In The Room
August 31, 2021 By Jordan Davidson

President Joe Biden has always thought he was the smartest man in the room, even when it’s clear that he’s not.

Take his response to the Afghanistan crisis, for example. Not only did he delay addressing the nation about the Taliban takeover and subsequent American evacuation problems in Kabul, but he has also refused to take responsibility for the lack of planning associated with the botched withdrawal, and offered flippant looks at his watch and anecdotes about his own son’s death to cancer as a response to the grieving families who lost their loved ones in the Kabul explosion last week.

Any speech that he gives is plagued with nonsensical verbiage, uncomfortable pauses, and weird comments about how he is or isn’t allowed to answer questions from specific people about specific topics.

But Biden’s deluded sense of self-expertise has been fed by corporate media and “foreign policy officials” who defended Biden as a foreign policy expert on the campaign trail and well into his administration.

“Why Joe Biden’s foreign policy experience is both a weakness and a strength in 2020,” Vox wrote in 2019.

Joe Biden's world

It’s hard to pin down the shape of a future administration’s foreign policy, especially so when the administration is still in the late larval stages, as Joe Biden’s currently is. Still, a picture is emerging: We’re aware of the core views of the aspiring commander in chief, hear the tenor of the rhetoric emerging from among his chief advisers, and know this group’s judgment on the legacy of the administration it hopes to replace.

One challenge to the clarity of that picture is that Biden himself has been scattershot on foreign policy over a lengthy career in government: Biden served on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for more than a quarter-century until he became Barack Obama’s vice president in 2009. Without cherry-picking contradictions from a foreign policy record that spans nearly five decades of government service, it’s impossible not to notice that Biden has pivoted frequently and seems to lack core convictions beyond what has agitated him most recently.  ...

He was arguing, like most Democratic contenders for the presidency in 2008, that Afghanistan was the good and winnable war, before he turned on it, too, as Obama’s vice president. This clearly made him some enemies in the Obama administration, many of whom are still sniping at him today. Some never forgave his early naivete. “I wish I could say Biden was a student of history and understood how problematic nation-building would be in Afghanistan,” an unidentified former top Obama Pentagon official told the Washington Post earlier this year.

“That’s not Biden. He has gut instincts.”

Others, such as the late Richard Holbrooke, were dismayed by Biden’s apparent callousness — especially when contrasted with his interventionist instincts in Bosnia.    ...

From the above article:

[catfish1957]

Perception of Biden has always been a dim bulb. 

His appeal goes with the fact he is he will do what the party bosses want.

Part of what goes along with being stupid is thinking you've got nothing to learn from anyone else. Thats Lunchbox Joe.

Didn't he once challenge a regular guy who asked him an embarrassing question to an IQ contest?

[libertybele]

What China Joe thinks and what is a reality is obviously miles apart.

He is more evil than he is demented or incompetent.

[Free Vulcan]

Everyone has seen his special kind of pr*ck all their lives. Confidence detached from all reality, and will steamroll anyone who gets in his way.

[rustynail]

He probably was.
