The classic Visiting Angels commercials are something most of us have seen that feature senior citizens expressing their worry about not being able to remain in their own homes. The reassuring tagline states “Visiting Angels – America’s Choice in Home Care.” A recent video, which added seven words from the jingle to a clip of President Joe Biden, turned a sad jingle into a hilarious 12-second attack ad.
The video in question captured a moment at an event at a Saginaw, Michigan golf course where Biden stood in the rain, while two of his “handlers” tried to rush him away from reporters. The 81-year-old president was nearly hit in the face by a closing door as he exited.
The edited clip was created by MAGADevilDog, a pro-Trump meme-maker, and shows the same scene as before, with the addition of the Visiting Angels jingle and logo. This cleverly makes it appear as though the president is being escorted by his caregivers – a humiliating image to say the least.

The former President, Donald Trump, shared this video on his new social media platform Truth Social without comment. The video is pretty self-explanatory and speaks for itself.
During a separate event on the same trip, Biden visited a 131-year-old Victorian mansion owned by local officials. After delivering his remarks, reporters began to ask the president questions. As Biden stood with his back to the reporters, he asked, “Can I take a couple questions?” A staff member quickly intervened, stating that they will only take a few questions.
Before any questions could be asked, the staff surrounding Biden immediately stepped in and ushered him away from the reporters. They repeatedly insisted, “Thank you, press. Back to the cars.” It was a clear attempt to prevent journalists from asking Biden any unplanned inquiries.
This bizarre moment, which lasted only a few seconds, sparked widespread criticism on social media. Journalists and commentators were quick to condemn the administration’s unwillingness to take unscripted questions from the press. One comment stated, “It just goes to show that Biden isn’t in charge. No one should be able to control the speech of the POTUS like his staff does.” Another writer, Buzz Patterson, weighed in, saying, “This is bad. Really bad. They’ve told his staff not to let him open his mouth. Trump would’ve walked out and spoken spontaneously for an hour.”

As Al Capone famously said in the movie “The Untouchables,” “Like a lot of things in life, we laugh because it’s funny and we laugh because it’s true.” Many of us have experienced watching a loved one grow old and regress into a child-like state, and there’s nothing humorous about it. However, when it’s the president of the United States being treated like a toddler who needs permission to speak and is immediately silenced by handlers, it becomes more than a personal tragedy – it’s a national security concern and a constitutional crisis.
It’s clear that Biden’s handlers and family are using him for their own gain, and it’s a disturbing reality that we are now living in a country where an unelected group of unknown individuals can control the president’s every move and word. Seven little words transformed a worrying clip into a satirical take on the grim truth that we’re currently under the rule of an unstable, elderly man who is being manipulated by those around him.
In conclusion, the use of humor and satire often exposes harsh realities in a way that can make us laugh and think at the same time. This video does just that, shedding light on the alarming situation our nation is facing. It’s no laughing matter that the leader of our country is being treated like a child, and it’s time for something to be done about it. We can only hope that Biden gets the help he needs from some “Visiting Angels” to protect him from the people who are taking advantage of him.
