Yesterday President Biden emerged from the White House to read a statement on the election of President Trump in the Rose Garden. The White House has posted a transcript here. I have posted the White House video below.

There seemed to be a spring in Biden’s pitty-pat steps as he approached the lectern. He smiled. Like the hero of All Quiet On the Western Front, “he had an expression of calm, as though almost glad the end had come.” In this case he must have been thinking of the Democrat schemers who pushed him aside in favor of a candidate they hoped would put up a better front than he could once his age-related debility became undeniable.

Having denounced Trump as a fascist and a threat to our form of government, Biden related that he had spoken with the once and future president “to congratulate him on his victory. And I assured him that I would direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition.” As I note in the adjacent post, his statement aligns with those of President Obama and Vice President Harris.

In this respect it is both formulaic and intended to contrast with Trump’s January 6 scheme. Nevertheless, Obama and Biden outdid Trump with the Russia hoax on their way out of office in late 2016 and early 2017.

Biden also added: “Something I hope we can do no matter who you voted for is see each other not as adversaries but as fellow Americans, bring down the temperature.” He omitted any mention of his own role in raising the temperature over the past four years, but it has been a motif of his presidency.

Biden bragged about his incredibly destructive legislative accomplishments and asserted: “The vast majority of it will not be felt — be felt over the next 10 years. We have a — we have legislation we passed that’s just — only now just really kicking in.” Kick this out: “We’re going to see over a trillion dollars’ worth of infrastructure work done, changing people’s lives in rural communities and communities that are in real difficulty, because it takes time to get it done, and so much more that’s going to take time. But it’s there.” Would that it were not.

Biden’s presidency has been among the most destructive in our history. President Trump has a tall order in seeking to undo the damage and one fears that much of it is irreversible.
