Since he is leaving office next week, President Biden he will be primarily remembered for his stunning incompetence. As a new generation of officials from both parties grapples with the devastating consequences of his failed leadership, his destructive influence on his own party, agenda and voters will cast a long shadow.
Among countless failures, five stand out as cautionary tales for future leaders.
Breathtaking dishonesty
Even in the corrupt world of politics, Biden stood out because of his apparent lack of integrity. His administration will be synonymous with enlightenment and influence peddling.

He lied about little things—like graduating in the top half of his law school class or leading the civil rights movement. He lied about personal matters – such as falsely claiming that his son had died in Iraq and that members of his family had been killed by a drunk driver.
WHY WE MUST EXPOSE THE CRIMINAL FRAUDS OF THOSE BEHIND BIDEN’S PRESIDENCY DISASTER
He lied about the blatantly obvious things, like the inflation rate, student loan forgiveness, and his promise not to forgive my son many crimes. He lied about things of global importance – such as the border being secure, the withdrawal from Afghanistan being a success, and his own direct involvement in the influence trade of his family.
Nothing from his administration could be trusted – not even the number of jobs.
He was president in absentia
He governed the way he campaigned in 2020 – from a figurative basement. We rarely saw him. Occasionally he would decide to blather on about an issue to promote the story, but he rarely answered the questions.
THE THREAT FROM RADICAL ISLAM IS NOW WITHIN OUR DOORS. BIDEN IGNORED IT. TRUMP MUST ACT
He rarely interacted with the media, and when he did, it was with a pre-selected few. His continuous vacations it rarely seemed to involve any real work. He showed little knowledge of the facts.
It is unclear to what extent he was even involved in decision-making. He spent about 40% of his time outside the White House.
He didn’t show leadership
He has failed in the basic tenets of presidential leadership. Our enemies were not afraid of us. Our allies have taken advantage of us. Our bureaucracy was armed against us.
BIDEN CONTINUES TO INSULT AMERICA WITH LAST HOUR MOVES. REPUBLICANS CAN STOP IT
Biden did not try to bridge the political divide. The justification for his candidacy was his familiarity with Washington and his promise to unite. There is no evidence of any success in reuniting the country.
Instead of laying the foundations for a prosperous future, he spent his political capital looking for his political opposition. Most destructive to his party was his failure to lay the foundations for a new generation of democratic leadership.

He accepted a policy that does not work
Not even a great leader could succeed in a program that imports rampant crime, maintains unprecedented levels of spending, implements economically destructive energy policies, and prioritizes foreign aid over American prosperity.

If the Democrats have policy ideas that actually work, Biden apparently never embraced them. Immigrationcrime, foreign policy, woke policies and, of course, the economy, all failed and were resoundingly rejected by voters four years later.
He sabotaged our future
Biden will be remembered for robbing the Treasury on his way out.
In an undercover video, one EPA adviser described Biden’s approach to climate initiatives as “throwing gold bars off the Titanic” — a metaphor we’re likely to find describing much of the government in the final days of the Biden administration.

In a petty attempt to sabotage his successor, Biden introduced regulations that prevent offshore drilling, obliging the United States to expensive climate initiativescommit us to long-term international conflicts, flood the country with millions who are here illegally, and embed loyalists in the bureaucracy, ensuring that many do not have to come into office for the next five years. These efforts not only undermine the incoming administration, they undermine American prosperity.
As bad as everything looks now, the generational impact of Biden’s failures will set his legacy of failure in stone.
