President Joe Biden has once again evaded the media spotlight, this time by skipping out on a press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. It seems like old Biden just can’t handle the tough questions and would rather hide behind closed doors than face the music. And this is becoming a trend for ol’ Sleepy Joe, as he lags far behind his predecessors in the number of press conferences and interviews. It’s clear that he and his team are doing everything in their power to keep him out of the public eye, especially as the 2024 election approaches.
Not only did Biden skip the traditional press conference with Chancellor Scholz, but he also opted out of the yearly Super Bowl interview for the second year in a row. It seems like Biden is really committed to keeping his public profile low, and his recent decision to forgo a potential press conference on Thursday just adds fuel to the fire. It’s getting harder and harder to believe that Biden actually wants to engage with the American people and the media.
Biden isn't capable of a press conference?He is a downhill racer!?
Biden opts out of press conference with German chancellor as he walks media ‘tightrope’https://t.co/Rbhtzvc4O9— MWB (@Mb51082451) February 8, 2024
The White House might try to spin this as just a part of Biden’s media strategy, but the truth is that he’s clearly avoiding unscripted events where he might slip up and reveal his true incompetence. Even when he does interact with the press, Biden often dodges questions or makes cryptic statements, leaving everyone scratching their heads. It’s no wonder that people are questioning who is really calling the shots in the Biden administration.
But hey, at least Biden’s team is working hard to make sure he doesn’t embarrass himself too much. They’re limiting his unscripted appearances and doing their best to prevent him from making any more gaffes. It’s like they’re trying to keep a tight leash on him, which isn’t surprising given his history of verbal blunders.
Some Democratic operatives are quick to defend Biden, claiming that he’s just trying to maintain a coherent message and distance himself from the chaos of the Trump era. They argue that Biden’s low numbers of press conferences and interviews are all part of a carefully crafted plan to project stability and control. But come on, let’s call a spade a spade – this is just a desperate attempt to shield Biden from scrutiny and protect him from his own shortcomings.
And let’s not forget about Vice President Kamala Harris, who seems to be picking up the slack for Biden when it comes to public appearances. It’s like they’re trying to distract us from Biden’s disappearing act by throwing Kamala into the spotlight. But sorry, folks, we’re not falling for it. We see through this shameless attempt to mask Biden’s inadequacy.
When you compare Biden’s numbers to those of past presidents, it becomes clear just how much he’s avoiding the press. Former President Donald Trump and even President Obama were far more willing to engage with the media. It’s time for Biden to step up and show some transparency, instead of hiding behind closed doors and scripted appearances.
In the end, it’s no surprise that Biden is trying to keep a low profile – after all, it’s hard to put on a convincing act when you’re struggling to keep up with the demands of the presidency. But sooner or later, Biden will have to face the music and answer for his actions. The American people deserve better than a president who’s too afraid to show his face.
