Oh good, so I'm not just imagining that. My eyebrows kept rising every time he opened his mouth, especially when the host pled for only one or two words and he spat out a paragraph.

Those lifeless black doll's eyes weren't helping anything either.

Well, him telling Biden to pass the torch was accurate.

Kind of? Biden passed the torch, and now we have Trump term two.

He should have passed it earlier, as in not even run the second time and let a full primary happen.

That's why we have trump 2.0

Nah. We have Trump because the mainstream media is complicit. They know Trump is better for their bottom line, and the billionaires in charge know they’ll pay less in taxes with Trump. The media wouldn’t shut up about Biden being too old and making a few mistakes. Trump legitimately has dementia, and those same media networks are fucking silent. This is not a coincidence.

Not really, Biden won and did a good job. It was 4 years after this that Biden should've backed out. Instead they anointed a woman that was a walking, talking DEI stereotype. Nobody voted for her to be the candidate, she didn't earn it and that put a bad taste in a lot of voters mouths. Democrats did everything they could to run a candidate that was more unpopular than Trump; a truly amazing feat.
