When Joe Biden took office, the media couldn’t contain their glee. The “adults were back in charge,” they told us, as if the country had just been rescued from four years of barbarism under Donald Trump. Biden was billed as the seasoned statesman who would steady the ship and restore America’s credibility on the world stage. But reality hit fast—and hard. Instead of the stability and competence we were promised, Biden’s presidency turned into a cautionary tale of failure and weakness. From foreign blunders to domestic chaos, his record doesn’t just disappoint—it makes Trump’s accomplishments shine even brighter by comparison.
On the international front, Biden's track record is a catalogue of missteps. Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan was a catastrophe on every level—chaotic, reckless, and disastrously executed. The hasty pullout turned into a humanitarian and strategic nightmare that humiliated the United States on the world stage. Billions of dollars in advanced military equipment were abandoned for the Taliban, instantly transforming them into one of the best-armed terrorist groups on the planet. And in the chaos at Kabul Airport, 13 brave American service members lost their lives—tragic casualties of an avoidable failure in leadership.
He failed to stop Russia from invading Ukraine despite painting himself as the guy who could contain Putin.
“Vladimir Putin doesn’t want me to be president. He doesn’t want me to be our nominee,” Biden claimed in a tweet in 2020. “If you’re wondering why – it’s because I’m the only person in this field who’s ever gone toe-to-toe with him.”

And when it came to the Middle East, Biden’s foreign policy failures were just as glaring. His attempts to broker peace between Israel and Hamas went nowhere, revealing his administration’s lack of credibility and leadership in dealing with one of the world’s most volatile conflicts. The last American hostage freed from Gaza under Biden’s watch was back in November 2023, and she was the great-niece of Liz Hirsh Naftali, who happens to be a major Democrat donor and had purchased some of Hunter Biden’s “artwork.” And then the progress stopped.
Meanwhile, former Biden speechwriter Jon Meacham has publicly praised President Donald Trump for brokering the recent peace deal between Israel and Hamas—an agreement that ended the war in Gaza and facilitated the release of hostages taken during the brutal Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023. Meacham, appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe, called this development “a victory for President Trump,” highlighting Trump's pivotal role in pushing the deal to fruition.
Meacham remarked on the significance of the deal, despite lingering uncertainties about how things will play out long term. He emphasized that governing by ideas and civilized norms, rather than brute force, defines maturity in democracy and credited Trump and his “unconventional team” for this breakthrough. Even when the peace deal was first announced, Meacham noted that “even if someone with whom you disagree about 99 things does the 100 really well, you should say so, because that's what intellectual honesty is.”
Intellectual honesty is key here, and if we’re being intellectually honest, then we can all agree that President Trump succeeded where Joe Biden failed. After years of watching Biden’s presidency stumble through crisis after crisis—with failures in Ukraine, Afghanistan, and the Middle East—Trump has demonstrated a superior capacity to bring about tangible peace. The man once derided as a chaotic disruptor has now outperformed the so-called “elder statesman” in securing peace and stability in a volatile region.
