Alternatively, President’s partisan attack on political rivals increases polarization of divided country.

“The Republican Party is vastly diminished in numbers,” Biden said. “The leadership of the Republican Party is fractured and the Trump wing of the party is the bulk of the party, but it makes up a significant minority of the American people.”

^This is true. We sometimes lose sight of the obvious in the day to day craziness of the Republicans. They are not a thriving political party.

“President Biden on Monday took aim at former President Trump during the first NATO summit of his presidency by accusing his predecessor of ‘phony populism’ when pressed on Trump’s influence on the Republican Party.”

That twice-impeached shart was a phony businessman with phony hair, a phony tan, and a phony wife, from a party with phony policies that pander to phony patriots who voted for a phony savior praised by phony Christians in a phony election.

I’m supposed to think this man who just spoke eloquently, fluently, thoughtfully, and extemporaneously for over 5 minutes has a diminished mental capacity?

He called it like it is as far as Trump and the Republican Party are concerned. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen someone express his disdain so cooly and calmly. Joe does dismissive with the best of them. Probably not a coincidence he did it on the eve of his meeting with Putin.
