much hits speechifying rock bottom.
Joe Biden addressed the graduating cadets at West Point on Saturday. He fumbled again. It’s not the event nor attending the graduation that’s a problem, but Biden has made the simplest of public appearances seem complicated. From slurring his words to peddling incoherent lies, the president doesn’t have the juice. There’s no presence, and that was showcased again this weekend when Biden had a Jeb Bush moment. After delivering a line he thought would strike a chord with the crowd, he heard nothing but crickets. Biden later says, “You can clap for that.”
