The Biden administration has certainly honed its skills in the art of gaslighting, a feat that seems to have become a hallmark of the current regime. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan showcased this talent over the weekend while appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union.” In a stunning display of spin, Sullivan declared that thanks to President Joe Biden, America’s top adversaries are allegedly “weaker” and the country itself is supposedly “safer.” Yes, folks, it appears that the administration has redefined reality to convince Americans that everything is hunky-dory.
Sullivan came out claiming that U.S. alliances are stronger than they’ve been in decades, and as if the audience were a bunch of gullible children, he asserted that NATO is “more powerful, purposeful, and bigger.” Certainly, nobody could point out the glaring reality that these alliances may be just as shaky as ever, especially when considering the highly publicized troubles within NATO. Yet, Sullivan’s cheerleading continued as he claimed that American adversaries like Russia, Iran, and China are all “weaker.” Perhaps someone should remind him that reality isn’t shaped by wishful thinking or a well-timed PR campaign.
Biden advisor Jake Sullivan:
"I think the American people are safer & the country is better off than we were 4 years ago."
Is this a joke？He’s been practicing that for at least a month to be able to keep a straight face🤡pic.twitter.com/UjlTUXzTOK

In a truly jaw-dropping moment, Sullivan suggested that the American populace is safer today than it was four years ago. This comes in the wake of a record surge in illegal immigration, leading to not just increased crime but actual fatalities inflicted by those who should never have set foot in the country in the first place. It gives the term “rose-colored glasses” a whole new meaning, as Sullivan seemed to ignore the undeniable facts playing out in American cities.
The economic picture, touted as “stronger” by Sullivan, is filled with uncertainty and burdened by relentless inflation that has left many families struggling. While he claimed the U.S. economy is in a “more secure position,” the average American would likely beg to differ from behind their thinning wallets. Such statements cast doubt on whether the administration has retained even a pinch of connection with the day-to-day realities of family budgets and skyrocketing prices.
To add a final punchline to this political circus, Sullivan attempted to justify the administration’s catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan, which ended with the tragic loss of American lives and emboldened terrorist factions. He argued that staying in Afghanistan would have been riskier, but the irony is palpable. His remarks didn’t just miss the mark; they flew in the opposite direction of truth. Perhaps his offer to resign last week would have been a more fitting action than trying to spin a narrative that is increasingly seen as absurd even by those who once stood behind him.
In the end, it’s hard to tell if Sullivan truly believes the fantastical claims he makes or if he’s merely a performer in an elaborate game of political theater. But as his administration approaches its final curtain call, one thing is clear: the American people deserve better than the government’s ongoing comedy of errors.
