Thanksgiving is usually a time for reflection and gratitude, but President Biden’s appearance at a Friendsgiving military buffet this week became another reminder of the bizarre chapter his presidency has become. As the nation transitions into a new era under President-elect Donald Trump, Biden’s actions and words during this event left many scratching their heads, and more than a few shaking them.

Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris in the 2024 election was decisive. He didn’t just win the Electoral College—he took the popular vote and claimed a clear mandate from the American people. Meanwhile, Biden, forced to step aside by his own party over concerns about his mental fitness, now seems to drift from one peculiar moment to another as his time in office winds down.

This Thanksgiving appearance was no exception.

Biden’s Remarks Raise Eyebrows

The president greeted the crowd with his trademark “Hello, hello, hello!” which might have been cheerful if what followed hadn’t been such a head-scratcher. He joked about being fired, a reference to his July departure from the 2024 ticket after Democrats, concerned about his performance and polling, pushed him out in favor of Harris.

From The New York Post:
“I’ve just been told I’ve been fired,” Biden quipped.

The remark seemed lighthearted, but it was a stark reminder of the political spectacle that led to his forced withdrawal. His mental acuity had been questioned for years, but 2024 solidified those concerns when he stumbled repeatedly on key issues and during debates. For Democrats, even Harris seemed preferable—though her historic loss to Trump now proves how disastrous that decision was.

Biden’s odd remarks didn’t stop there. He went on a long-winded explanation about Secret Service protocol, veering into what sounded like a campaign speech.

From The New York Post:
“They set a time for how long we’re going to be somewhere. And then what they do is they close all the roads, the Secret Service does. And if you want to lose all support for your Coast Guard and no one will ever vote for me again, I better get the hell out of here.”

It’s difficult to understand what he was trying to convey, but it’s clear Biden isn’t ready to leave the spotlight quietly, even if his political career is effectively over.

The Fallout from Biden’s Presidency

Biden’s presidency has been marked by what many Americans see as weakness on critical issues. From the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan to unchecked inflation, his tenure has left millions disillusioned.

It’s no wonder that Democrats moved to replace him on the ticket, but replacing him with Harris was a choice doomed to fail. She spent the campaign dodging press conferences, leaning into extreme rhetoric, and alienating swing voters. Trump, on the other hand, leaned into his message of economic recovery, national security, and putting America first—a message that resonated deeply in the face of Biden’s record.

What’s left now is a lame-duck administration, seemingly coasting into irrelevance, punctuated by awkward public moments like Biden’s Friendsgiving appearance.

Trump’s Mandate for Change

As Trump prepares to return to the White House, he inherits an America that is deeply divided but also hungry for decisive leadership. His campaign promises included slashing bureaucratic waste, strengthening the border, and holding foreign adversaries accountable—all issues that Americans now see as priorities after the floundering of the last four years.

The contrast couldn’t be clearer. While Biden fumbles through his remaining days in office, Trump is assembling a powerhouse cabinet and signaling a bold agenda. Where Biden seemed to lead with hesitation and ambiguity, Trump’s plans are direct and unapologetic.

For many, Biden’s presidency will serve as a cautionary tale—a reminder of what happens when political expediency and media bias elevate the unfit to power. His Friendsgiving gaffes are just the latest example of a leader out of touch, both figuratively and literally, as the nation prepares to move on.

Key Takeaways:

• Biden’s Latest Gaffe: At a Friendsgiving event, Biden joked about being fired and made rambling remarks, leaving many questioning his mental state.
• Trump’s Return to Power: Following a landslide victory, Trump is poised to deliver the decisive leadership voters crave after four years of Biden’s failures.
• A Clear Contrast: As Biden’s presidency fades into irrelevance, Trump’s bold agenda signals a new era of American strength and leadership.
