Biden's delusional G7 press conference

It is risky for the world's most important country to elect a president in his 80s. The danger was clear last weekend when President Joe Biden spoke at a press conference at the G7 meeting in Hiroshima, Japan.
Biden spoke about the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, which was formed in 2007 between Australia, India, Japan, and the United States to counter Chinese military and economic aggression in the region. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd pulled Australia out of the group in 2008, but President Donald Trump managed to reinstate the alliance in 2017.
None of this reality seems to have lodged itself in Biden’s increasingly muddled mind, which always seems to tell its possessor that he played a central role. Speaking in Hiroshima, Biden said: “I doubt many people in this audience or any other audience would have said that two years after being elected, I’d be able to convince India, Australia, Japan, and the United States to form an organization called the Quad."
He's right: No one could have imagined that Biden would do that, because it had already been done by his predecessor. Such self-aggrandizing delusion in our chief executive is embarrassing.
Unfortunately, Biden's fictions did not stop there. It continued when he turned from international affairs to domestic matters. Not once but twice, Biden claimed that his administration "was able to balance the budget." What planet does this confused old chap live on?
