Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish author who never visited Scranton, Pennsylvania, but apparently, he drew inspiration for a story from a guy who was just a toddler in 1837. Sounds far-fetched, but the book, "The Emperor's New Clothes" so perfectly describes the subject, it can't possibly be a coincidence.
The story describes a vain old man who gets exposed for the doddering fool he really is. Yesterday, at a NATO conference in Madrid, Spain, Joe Biden exposed himself. No, he didn't forget to wear his pants, but he dropped them no less. Revealed was a vain old man, a doddering fool, also known as the President of the United States who, microphone clutched in his bony hand, shuffled around the stage bashing America, complaining about his critics, and blaming everyone and everything but himself for the problems he's created.
But that didn't matter to Joe Biden who proceeded to make Barack Obama's infamous world apology tour sound like a MAGA rally. After confusing Switzerland for Sweden, Joe Biden told the world that the recent repeal of Roe v. Wade would be a "destabilizing factor" for America... a destabilized America being ever-so reassuring to our allies... and a deterrent to our enemies! No mention was made of soaring gas prices, inflation, crime, illegal immigration, fentanyl deaths, and a host of other problems, all of which actually are destabilizing factors, created by... Joe Biden.
It's almost certain the people in attendance, along with Spain's population and, for that matter, the rest of the world, weren't particularly concerned about America's problems and probably couldn't care less about recent Supreme Court decisions, but Joe Biden was undeterred. He never said a single positive thing about the country he supposedly leads; it was all about grievance... Joe Biden's grievances, which is exactly what you'd expect from a vain old man.
Joe Biden's still around but, were Hans Christian Andersen alive today, he'd surely want to update "The Emperor's New Clothes," albeit, with a slight title change to accommodate for an emperor who's become doddering, incoherent, and senile to go along with his vanity.
"The Emperor's New Depends" would be the perfect sequel.
