White House Correspondent Reagan Reeseives when she asked President Biden about the biggest threat to the United States during a Sunday evening press conference. The 82-year-old president went on a bizarre rant, rambling about immigration and his past relationships with world leaders while also attacking his predecessor, President Trump.
Biden, who was signing the controversial Social Security Fairness Act into law, seemed to lose his cool when Reese questioned if white supremacy was still the biggest threat to the country. “Any kind of [inaudible] of supremacy is a threat to the United States,” Biden snapped back, before going off on a tangent about immigration and his control of the border crisis.
The president seemed particularly agitated when discussing his relationship with Trump and the former president’s influence on the border. “I pushed very hard for bipartisan agreement to put more people on the border, but Trump was on the phone saying, ‘Don’t do it, [it will] make me look bad.’ That bill, that bill is ridiculous. It’s ridiculous,” Biden fumed.
As the press conference descended into chaos, White House staff ushered reporters out of the room. Before ending the event, Biden was asked if he still believed Trump posed a threat to democracy. In a thinly-veiled reference to the January 6th Capitol Riot, he responded, “I think what he did was a genuine threat to democracy.”
In a shocking reveal, sources close to the president have revealed that Biden regrets nominating Merrick Garland as attorney general, complaining that he didn’t do enough to prosecute Trump. With just a few weeks left in his presidency, Biden and his team are reportedly struggling with how to finish their time in the White House.
According to The Washington Post, Biden and his aides have even privately admitted that they believe the now 82-year-old could have defeated Trump in the 2020 election. This admission comes as a slap in the face to Biden’s supporters who have been told that he was the only one who could defeat Trump.
In a turn of events, it seems that even Biden himself doubts his own ability to lead the country. As his presidency comes to a close, many are wondering what could have been if the American people had chosen a different leader. Only time will tell if Biden’s final days in office will leave a lasting impact on the United States.
