The Old Man Winter of American politics, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. a.k .a., in his very first interview since handing his 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue house keys to Donald Trump, he described himself as the” Old Man Winter of American politics.” One of America’s most influential presidents had a lot to say about politics, Europe, America, and the world’s coming.

And you could almost hear him if you strained so difficult.  ,
The former president met with BBC writer Nick Robinson before now, and they frequently spoke in a weak, hushed whisper. Although the occasion was D Day’s 80th anniversary, Biden’s criticism of Donald Trump as president was at the forefront of the discussion.

Biden was the current U.S. leader less than a month ago, and he had every intention of running for re-election. In watching Trump struggle through the first question without wheezing and coughing, the absurdity of his handling the demands of the White House for another four years became painfully obvious.
Yet the writer acknowledged this, even though he never addressed Biden’s issue.
Biden is still a warm, charismatic man with the whimsical attraction that made him a champion of the election, but he is a little slower, quieter, and more anxious version of the leader he was after. When I first met him in person, I didn’t think he may have spent another four times in the White House, which would have brought him to a younger age of 90. [emphasis added]
Given his ( many ) years, Biden has perspective: As the reporter noted, Biden will almost certainly be the last U.S. president to remain in the World War II. He might be an elder statesman’s fair orator of republican wisdom, accepting his mistakes and accepting personal responsibility because the only thing that matters now is the country’s future, with its future in view.

Nah.Â
Biden’s main concerns were preserving his personal reputation and scoring victories. He acknowledged ZERO errors throughout the whole interview. Politico noted:
Joe Biden, the former head of the United States, defended his decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential election a few months before the crucial November election, saying it wouldn’t have altered anything if he had done so early.
When asked if he should have ended his campaign before, he responded to BBC Radio 4 Today’s spread on Wednesday, his first meeting since leaving his position.” I don’t believe it would’ve mattered.
And WHY did he wait so long before resigning, giving Kamala Harris only 106 time to run for office?
My ( naive ) guess was that it most likely stemmed from his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump. Biden turned out to be completely insane because he was utterly insane.
His presidency, which he described as a” transition government,” was” so successful” that it was difficult to say” now I’m going to stop,” Biden said.
He claimed that” items moved so quickly that it made it difficult to walk away.”
Boy, do I think dumb.
How great were the Biden eras? It turns out to be the Golden Age of wealth:
According to Biden,” we created more employment in one term than any other leader in the history of the United States,” he said. Our country was experiencing a boom in our economy, we were moving in a way that the stock market was significantly away, we were gaining global influence, more business, and we regained command of what we invented about the future of computer chips.

It resembles George H. W. Bush’s justification for being a” The Simpsons” one-timer:

There was no need for a minute because I had accomplished all of my presidential goals in a single word. The conclusion
Biden also criticised the present administration’s efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict that broke out during Biden’s sole name. Over a million Russians and Ukrainians have been killed or injured thus much.  ,
Biden’s criticism of Trump’s treatment of Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, was particularly dire:
In his first spread meeting since leaving the White House in January, Biden criticized Trump’s foreign policy and cited the obscene altercation that saw him and his vice chairman JD Vance disparage the president of Ukraine.
Biden told the BBC,” I found it beneath America in the way that took area. What the hell is going on here, according to what we’re talking about now is that” this is the Gulf of America,” “maybe we’re going to have to take up Panama,” “maybe we need to buy Greenland,” etc.?
He continued,” What chairman always speaks in that manner?” That’s not who we are, exactly.
The aging former president reaffirmed that Ukraine doesn’t lose even the slightest bit of territory to Russia, even if doing so would bring about peace:
Biden referred to the suggestion of the Trump administration to give Ukraine off territory as part of a peace agreement with Russia as “modern-day peace,” a reference to Western allies who supported Adolf Hitler’s annexation of Czechoslovakia in the 1930s in an unsuccessful attempt to stop a continent-wide conflict.
I simply don’t understand how people feel that if we let a tyrant, a gangster, decide that he’s going to take significant amounts of land that aren’t his, that will meet him. Vladimir Putin, the leader of Russia, is something Biden described as “until I understand.”

Biden also disputed Trump’s second 100 time:
Biden responded, “I’ll let history decide that,” when asked about Trump’s claim that his first 100 days were generally outstanding. Nothing that magnificent struck me, in my opinion.
Mr. President, with all due respect, record will determine much more than Trump’s first 100 times.
