Some may not believe in the devil, but the antics of President Biden might lead one to ponder if he’s been taking notes. The latest revelations regarding the 46th president’s leadership—which anyone with a set of eyes could see—are as entertaining as they are eyebrow-raising. Biden’s insecurities, reminiscent of classic tales of mischief, come into sharper focus with each new anecdote. A certain excerpt from the upcoming book “FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House” has flung the spotlight back onto the not-so-illustrious leader of the Democrats. Of course, it appears he’s still learning the age-old lesson that truth and authenticity will always outshine spin.
In this latest literary offering, authors Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes recount the desperate maneuvering within Democrat ranks during the days leading up to what they call a “dominant electoral win” by Donald Trump. One particularly riveting moment is Biden’s pep talk to Kamala Harris before her fateful debate with Trump—a moment that was supposed to be her shining hour. Instead, it reveals a man who clings to power like a toddler with a security blanket, insisting that his running mate stay loyal and protect his crumbling legacy, lest she stray too far from his shadow.
Biden’s patronizing demand for “no daylight” between him and Harris might as well be the motto of the Democratic Party under his leadership. With a track record of avoiding accountability that would make a magician proud, he shows a unique talent for deflection and denial. The media may argue that these traits belong to Trump, but it seems they’ve conspired to let Biden skate under the radar while they pounce on any slip-ups made by the former president.

Such desperate need for control suggests a man who is far from the humble, approachable “grandfather” he tries to portray. Rather than delivering the timeless wisdom of a statesman, Biden seems more invested in maintaining the illusion of persona over integrity. The farcical act of family-oriented pardons and his peculiar public demeanor towards family members only adds to the mounting evidence that all is not well in the Biden family fantasy.
A quick glance at the former president’s decision-making and reactions provides a clearer understanding. He doesn’t embody the nuclear family ideal he touts; instead, he reveals what many have been saying all along—Biden’s primary concern is his image and the power that comes with it. The faux charm is just that—a ploy to distract from a core personality that is, at best, riddled with inconsistencies and at worst, a fudge on the truth about who he really is.
Conversely, Donald Trump has resonated with Americans not simply for his policies but for his authenticity. Far from canned remarks and hollow promises, Trump delivers a straight-shooting style that appeals to those tired of the political theater. Each new revelation about Biden serves as a stark reminder of why so many continue to sing Trump’s praises. While the media clings to the idea that Biden is a man of the people, the reality is that he’s more like a snake oil salesman in a faded blue suit. The connection to the devil may not be literal, but metaphorically, he’s doing a fine job of convincing many that the good old days were just a figment of a nostalgic imagination.
