Ah, Joe Biden—the man who was supposed to bring back “decency” to the Oval Office. Over the weekend, he gave us yet another reminder of just how “civil” and “unifying” his presidency has been when he lashed out at reporters, dropping profanity and reminding everyone that he’s met more world leaders than they ever will in their “gdn” lives. A real class act, isn’t he?
Biden has been an arrogant jerk his entire political career. None of this is new. His severe dementia just makes it harder for him to mask what an awful person he actually is. https://t.co/890kDFnqAu

This outburst is hardly a surprise. Biden has a long history of snapping at anyone who dares to challenge him, whether it’s a college student he called a “lying dog-faced pony soldier” or Fox News’ Peter Doocy, whom he dubbed a “son of a b***h” for the crime of asking a question about inflation—something every American has been grappling with under Biden’s stellar leadership. At this point, his outbursts are less newsworthy and more a sad reflection of what happens when you mix arrogance with declining mental acuity.
Critics were quick to pounce on Biden’s latest meltdown, and rightfully so. Sean Davis of The Federalist hit the nail on the head, calling Biden “an arrogant jerk” who’s been this way his entire career, with his alleged dementia only amplifying the behavior. And let’s not forget the narrative the media has been pushing for years—that Biden is some kind of kindly grandpa figure, the lovable elder statesman who’s here to save democracy. It turns out that he’s more like the cranky neighbor yelling at kids to get off his lawn while misremembering their names.
Former adviser Link Lauren pointed out what many have long suspected: Biden isn’t the sweet grandpa the White House tries to market. He’s short-tempered, petty, and vindictive. The outburst only confirms what more and more Americans are seeing for themselves—a president who can’t keep his cool and lashes out at anyone who irritates him. This is the same man who told us “it’s about the character of the President.” If this is the character we’re supposed to admire, I’ll take a hard pass.
The most civil, decent, and devoutly Catholic president we’ve ever had. 🙄 https://t.co/O9cK0WuLH9

Fox News contributors like Raymond Arroyo and Guy Benson couldn’t help but highlight the hypocrisy. Arroyo’s tweet—sarcastically quoting Biden’s words about the importance of character—is a perfect reminder of the disconnect between the image Biden’s team tries to sell and the reality of his behavior. And Benson’s blunt assessment—“bitter, impaired man exiting gracelessly”—captures the frustration of watching a president who seems more focused on throwing tantrums than governing.
Even Biden’s foreign policy “bragging” comes off as tone-deaf. Sure, he’s spent hours with Xi Jinping, but what’s the result? A rising China that’s openly challenging U.S. interests. As journalist Jerry Dunleavy aptly put it, Democrats love to point to meaningless stats—how many miles they’ve traveled or how many hours they’ve logged—while ignoring the glaring failures in their policies. It’s as if showing up is supposed to be an accomplishment, even if everything falls apart.
Perhaps the most telling reaction came from former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, who simply asked, “Can you imagine another four years?” After watching Biden’s latest performance, the answer from many Americans is a resounding no. The only thing more tired than Biden’s outbursts is the media’s relentless effort to cover for him. And as his presidency limps toward the finish line, it’s becoming harder and harder for them to keep up the facade.
