In a jaw-dropping turn of events, President Joe Biden’s latest career move appears to have caught even Donald Trump off guard. During a recent White House press briefing, the former president was asked about Biden’s decision to sign with Creative Artists Agency, one of Hollywood’s flashiest talent agencies. Rather than reacting with enthusiasm, Trump exhibited a blend of disbelief and amusement, suggesting that Biden might have a few more pressing matters to worry about than starring in the next blockbuster.
The confusion swirling around Biden’s foray into the entertainment industry begs the question: Is Hollywood really ready for a Biden project? The former vice president, at age 82, is now sharing agency space with big names like Barack and Michelle Obama. However, one must wonder how much clout Biden retains these days, given his infamous debate performances where he often resembled a deer caught in the headlights. Could a talent agency really see him as a hot commodity? If Trump raised an eyebrow at the notion, it’s likely many Americans would do the same.
Creative Artists Agency has made a name for itself by promoting A-list stars and shaping successful Hollywood careers. Yet, Biden’s most recent self-promotion—his 85,000 ticket-selling national tour for his memoir, “Promise Me, Dad”—is shrouded in uncertainty. While some tickets may have been sold, who really filled those seats? It seems like a production with more flash and less substance, not unlike a poorly executed sequel that nobody asked for.

Trump’s skepticism is warranted, as the reality of the situation might not be quite as glamorous as CAA’s co-chairman depicts. Is Biden prepared to leap from elder statesman to Hollywood darling? The last time he graced a public stage at a debate, Hollywood heavyweights like George Clooney were reportedly nudging him toward the exit. If Biden plans to trade in political speeches for Hollywood scripts, he might want to revisit his material – those old political yarns are sounding brittle and stale.
As Biden navigates his new relationship with CAA, there’s little doubt the former president will be watching closely, perhaps snickering behind the scenes. From book deals to thinking about some possible future speaking gigs, it seems the main character of this tale might not have the star power needed to shine in Tinseltown. With Trump casting doubt on Biden’s new career path, it’s fair to ask if America is ready for… well, more Joe Biden on the big screen. The public’s appetite for another chapter in the saga of a sitting president turned wannabe Hollywood star remains to be seen, but it’s unlikely that anyone is holding their breath.
