Biden could be the most motivated democratic president in decades. Though he wasn’t one of the more progressive candidates, Biden signified integrity. He is not radical, nor frightening.

Biden embraces change. And as America climbs out of a four-year ditch, the people are aware they no longer have a president hell-bent on incompetency, arrogance, idiocy, r****m and ignorance. Because the last four years have been so chaotic Biden now has the space to govern audaciously and ambitiously.

Congress may want to hinder progressive changes the new government needs to make, but it cannot prevent Biden from issuing executive orders.

C****-** and the Iran nuclear deal are global issues and they demand a global leader. His vast foreign policy experience has given him the tools to demonstrate ambition for true international leadership that has been AWOL for the past four years.

At 78, Biden may well be the oldest serving president of the United States but he is not so old that he does not recognize there is a future standing right behind him.

And whether he serves one term or two, Biden is aware he does not represent the future of the Democratic party. He is aware, however, that he is the road from which new democratic leaders will emerge.

And while you’re presupposing without facts, like Kayleigh McEnany trump's "Mini Goebbels." who offered her opinion that “Biden is ducking the media to avoid gaffes” and that ‘his staff is protecting him from the sort of unscripted exchanges he would face in a news conference,” gaffes are not what we’re talking about here.

Not only has America been released from the shackles of Twitter, but the White House briefing room is no longer an Orwellian nightmare of lies.

Nor are you paying for golf trips, but your government is confronting white domestic terrorism.

It is also refreshing to note you have a First Lady who engages with the public. There has not been one murmur from the p**********l children; and we’re delighted to note, you once again have First Dogs.

The government’s philosophy is to under-promise and over-deliver and bugger me if the President hasn’t already produced his tax records!

You’ve even got a White House staff that looks like America; a staff who helped to put a national c****-** plan in place. You might even notice masks and social distancing are activities that are practiced in the White House. And just to piss you right off, more than two-thirds of Americans approve of it.

The unanswered questions about the slaughter of journalist Jamal Khashoggi will now be addressed by a President who doesn’t believe military service is for “suckers” and who doesn’t send his “love” to fanatical people who assault law enforcement.

The Muslim ban is gone.

What President Biden is doing is simply guiding your nation; stepping back to allow America to re-enter as the leader of the free world.

That’s what you wanted, wasn’t it?

Such courage Trump displays!

How fortunate we are to have as president, the bravest man in America. A man who was not afraid — when even Joe Biden was standing above ground and meeting with protesters — to boldly go down (where few have gone before) into a secure bunker. Now, that was an act of courage!

Hiding under the ground, is a scary place, full of earthworms and moles (some could be malignant, like windmills) and cicadas and very long tree roots! Secreting himself in a bunker, of limited size, laughing in the face of claustrophobia, even though he was forced to confront head-on the terrifying fact that all the items around him might have been touched by an equally brave Dick Cheney during his brief time in the same spot — only a very daring man would have the guts to venture there. Hiding below the White House, where Andrew Johnson’s ghost could possibly also be, at any time.

But his courage did not stop there. No! He was not afraid to pick up the telephone (always a terrifying act, because you cannot see your interlocutor, and sometimes you both start talking at the same time, which can haunt you for months afterwards, no matter how much of a “perfect call“ it was) and yell at the nation’s governors, finding the soul of Patten, and telling those governors that they needed to “dominate” and “get much tougher” and that “if you don’t dominate you’re wasting your time. They’re going to run over you, you’re going to look like a bunch of jerks.” This was not just a sign of bravery, but also intelligence, demonstrating his laser-like ability to pinpoint the one remark that might soothe or offer even a tiny bit of reassurance during a trying time, and then, say the exact opposite.

But, it was not just by phone that his courage demonstrated itself. He did not merely speak, but also typed! He managed to violate Twitter’s terms of service by glorifying violence, the act of a very bold man. Behind a keyboard is the most frightening place of all to be, much scarier than standing in a group of protesters, because you do not know, for starters, if the keyboard is entirely clean of the deadly “Trump v***s” (named in his honor because he was the first to recognize its deadly potential), and also, you might make a typo. And, staring at the screen to which the keyboard is attached could lead to eyestrain.

It took immense bravery to say the very worst things at a time such as this. But that is the kind of bravery for which Donald Trump has always been known. Not afraid to heap insult on injury on insult, bold enough to cower, wise enough to plant his foot firmly in his mouth. Whereas most leaders stop at pouring oil on troubled waters, Donald Trump is brave enough to set that oil on fire! But, kind enough to allow others to take the responsibility for its outcome, while he orders another box of XXL Depends. (He keeps soiling their ones he wears. He says it’s because of a bad batch of McDonald’s cheeseburgers he ate.)

Then, once he so bravely ordered the local police, National Guard and Secret Service to forcefully pay clear him a path, using some of the “most awesome weapons anyone has ever seen,” our brave President Trump uprightly goose-stepped across the street, to an old, historic church, held up a Bible, upside down, and proceeded to tell us all just how brave, wonderful and masterful he is as a “law and order president,” and who, is the president of ALL of us, all without mentioning who “ALL of us,” includes. (See! He can keep a secret, just not from Russia. But, he’s working on that, our White House sources tell us.)

So brave! So dominant! So kind! He is a beacon in the night, just like the White House wasn’t.

And, while the country burns down all around us, President Trump stands firmly, in the White House bunker, comforting his own, scared family and issuing brave and often illegal directives to his troops and loyal followers.

If there’s anyone, who has the bravery and wherewithal to lead our great country over a cliff and into fiscal, social and international oblivion, it’s our own, brave, omniscient and omnipresent, President Trump, assisted by his loyal GOPTP Senators and Representatives in Congress. Without their invaluable help and total disloyalty to the Constitution, our system of government, and our future as a country, we would still be a model for other countries to follow.

Thank you, President Trump, for being the bold and brave visionary you are. Without you, and your helpers in Congress, we couldn’t have achieved the horrible shape we’ve sunk to under your abject failure as a leader and their aiding and abedding your lying destructiveness.
