Given Joe Biden's issues, it often sparks the thought, "Who is running things?" since Biden seems not to know what is going on so much of the time.
Biden is now "isolating" in Rehoboth Beach, allegedly with COVID. As we noted at various spots coming back from Las Vegas to Delaware, Biden was not wearing a mask, and he had trouble even getting into a car at one point.
But just after 8:00 p.m. ET on Friday, Biden (or the intern who tweets from his account) began posting a slew of things about watching former President Donald Trump's RNC remarks because he was sick. If that were true, why didn't he post about it on Thursday during the remarks? Why did he wait to post until now? The thing is, I think he/his team is trying to convince people that he's up and not asleep after 8 p.m. So that's really funny. Even though I say "Biden," assume from here on in I also mean whoever is running his account:
I’m stuck at home with COVID, so I had the distinct misfortune of watching Donald Trump’s speech to the RNC.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 20, 2024
What the hell was he talking about?
"I’m stuck at home with COVID, so I had the distinct misfortune of watching Donald Trump’s speech to the RNC.What the hell was he talking about?" Biden said. He was trying to deflect from his own incoherence, and to pretend that Trump has the same problems he has. No, Joe, sorry, projection doesn't work; the problem is all yours.
Then he posted a thread full of lies. I'll hit on the highlights.
Here, he lies his head off, claiming that Trump told people to "inject bleach":
Let’s start with this. Donald said he “did a great job” with COVID.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 20, 2024
Folks, this is the same guy who told us to inject bleach while over a million Americans died.pic.twitter.com/Ex0dOgPHqV
Trump, of course, never said that. That's a lie that Biden keeps saying, despite it being repeatedly debunked. But that's Biden; he doesn't care about the truth. The other lie in there is "while over a million Americans died." No, most of the million who died of COVID died under Joe Biden; that was with the vaccine, and with more knowledge. Biden is just spewing nonsense, when more people died under him.
Biden also lied about Trump wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare:
Donald claimed he’s “going to protect Social Security and Medicare.”
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 20, 2024
This is a flat-out lie, folks. Trump proposed cutting Social Security and Medicare every year he was in office.
And he’ll do it again.
Trump has repeatedly said he would protect Social Security and Medicare. Indeed, it's Biden who has taken actions that have affected Medicare Advantage. So once again, this is blaming Trump for something he's doing.
Biden claimed that Trump gave the "biggest tax cuts ever" to his billionaire buddies, and that "his Project 2025 agenda would raise taxes on the middle class":
He bragged about giving “the biggest tax cuts ever” to his billionaire buddies.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 20, 2024
But the deal is that his Project 2025 agenda would raise taxes on the middle class.
This is more lying. First, Trump's tax cuts helped most Americans, it benefited the middle class and working class Americans the most. Meanwhile, Biden wants to stop those cuts that Trump put in place and therefore, would raise taxes on most Americans. And Trump has nothing to do with Project 2025, no matter how many times Biden or his minions lie about it:
He said he’ll end inflation, but even the Wall Street Journal published an article agreeing:
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 20, 2024
Trump’s Project 2025 would cause even more inflation.
My economic plan is lowering costs and inflation.
He said he’ll end inflation, but even the Wall Street Journal published an article agreeing:Trump’s Project 2025 would cause even more inflation. My economic plan is lowering costs and inflation.
Now that's just fantasyland, on so many levels. Trump has nothing to do with Project 2025, and it isn't what Biden claims it is anyway. Trump had virtually no inflation when he was in office, thanks to good policies. It was at 1.4 percent when he left, despite Biden lying and saying it was at 9 percent. Under Biden, it rose to above 9 percent because of Biden's overspending. So he's blaming Trump who was great on inflation for something he, Biden, has been horrible at. Biden's inflation has been crushing Americans for almost three years.
Biden attacked Trump for talking about Hannibal Lecter, the fictional character in the movie "Silence of the Lambs":
He praised Hannibal Lecter.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 20, 2024
Donald, Hannibal Lecter is not real. And he is a cannibal.pic.twitter.com/8BwtOnIDoV
Trump was talking about Lecter in the context of crime, basically saying you don't want to invite such things into your house. Biden, of course, leaves out the context. But Biden needs to take a look in the mirror and remember his made-up story that he told people, about his "Uncle Bosey" being eaten by the cannibals. Biden can't really talk about anyone else, when he's making up cannibal stories.
Finally, Biden claimed that Trump attacked unions, claiming he, Biden, was the "most pro-worker" person to occupy the Oval Office:
He attacked unions, and it’s not the first time. Not even close.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 20, 2024
I’m the most pro-worker president in history. Donald doesn’t know a damn thing about protecting workers and their rights.
He should be ashamed.
First, you can't be pro-worker when you're crushing Americans with inflation, throwing open the border to illegal immigration, and wanting to raise taxes on workers, like Biden wants to. That's being anti-worker.
Second, Trump invited the head of the Teamsters to speak at the RNC. Here's what that union head said about him.
Warning for language:
Sean O’Brien says what we are all thinking..!

Whether you like him or not, Trump has proven to be one tough SOB! pic.twitter.com/xwlsRP3Ssk
O'Brien said in light of the assassination attempt, "Trump has proven to be one tough S.O.B.!"
Unfortunately, when it comes to Biden you can't even know if he's tweeting from his own X account. But whether it's an intern or not, it's someone lying on Biden's behalf. However you slice it, it's wrong. It makes it even more problematic when you consider it's probably anonymous people pretending to speak for him. These are the crazy people presently holding sway over our government.
Biden's further problem? He can't even hold the support of Democrats. Even his top Democratic friends have turned on him, and are trying to force him out because they think he's going to lose. Joe can rant all about Trump, but Trump is leading in the polls and that lead is growing:
It’s after 4pm.
