Biden's xenophobic gaffe
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Another day, another clean up on aisle old man Biden.
This time, President Joe Biden was caught telling donors in Washington, D.C., that the reason the economies of China, Japan, Russia, and India are "stalling" is that they are all "xenophobic."
When asked by reporters what Biden meant when he called India and Japan, both important allies in containing Chinese aggression, the "very pejorative" term "xenophobic," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded, "The president was very clear."
To which the reporter responded, "He wasn't very clear. That's why we're asking you."
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby was also pressed to explain Biden's insult, and he didn't fare much better. "Again, making a broader point about this country, about our country," Kirby told reporters. "Our allies know very well how much the president respects them, values their friendship, values their contribution."
It does not appear our allies bought Kirby's excuse. "It's not that we are xenophobic," Sanseito party member Sohei Kamiya told reporters. "We are being cautious after seeing your failures." "I hope that President Biden will solve the problem in New York before he says things like this," Nippon Ishin no Kai party member Mizuho Umemura added.
The reality is that lax immigration policies have nothing to do with economic growth. Despite India's "xenophobic" immigration policies, its economy grew 6.7% in 2023, far outpacing the 2.5% growth of the Biden economy. And the United Kingdom, which has a record-high 15% foreign-born population, grew just 0.1% in 2023.
So much for mass migration being the key to economic prosperity.
Biden's gaffe was not the first the White House had to clean up. He has repeatedly said the United States would defend Taiwan if China attacked the island nation, and White House press aides had to say he misspoke every time. Biden has also called for regime change in Russia, another statement White House aides rolled back the following day.
Then there was the time Biden confused former British Prime Minister Theresa May with the long-dead Margaret Thatcher and the time he called Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el Sisi "the president of Mexico" and the time he forgot the name of his own secretary of defense.
When he is not forgetting names and misstating his own foreign policy, Biden often creates fictional events in his own life. He falsely claimed he was arrested at a civil rights protest, he falsely claimed he went to the Tree of Life synagogue after a shooting, he falsely claimed to have seen a bridge collapse in Pittsburgh, and most recently, he falsely claimed his uncle was eaten by cannibals in Papua New Guinea.
Let's not forget the time he fell off his bike in Delaware, the time he fell onstage at the Air Force Academy graduation, and the time he fell not once, not twice, but three times trying to walk up the boarding stairs into Air Force One.
Talk of Biden being replaced as the nominee at the Democratic Party convention has fallen silent since his energetic State of the Union performance. But as former President Donald Trump builds on his lead nationally and in key swing states, Democrats may realize they have better options.

Another day, another gaffe.
If it isn't Biden, it's Trump.
Perfect pair of idiots who have bamboozled folks into voting for them.
And I remember when Bidenistas were out claiming that Biden would "restore our standing in the world".
I wonder where that Biden disappeared to?
He never existed.
He has always been a fool, and always will be.
It's hard to "restore our standing in the world" when the world is telling us:
And in true Biden fashion, there have been A LOT of failures.
Y'all just don't like it that Biden is good friends with the president of Xeno.
That's the problem with being senile, you tend to say what you are thinking and actually believe. hopefully nobody asks him about a country in Africa, he may go full Robert Byrd grand wizard on them.
