His handlers, including his wife, did their best to walk him around like a pet, telling him when to sit, speak, and stay. <\/p>\n<p>This all raises the obvious and alarming question: Who is in charge of the greatest country on Earth right now? Because it sure as heck isn\u2019t Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t seen any of the footage, you might think this is an exaggeration, but it isn\u2019t. Here\u2019s Jill Biden monopolizing a children\u2019s book reading, with her husband announcing, \u201cAnd they\u2019re not going to let me read at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll let you\u2014 here, you can start us off,\u201d the first lady said patronizingly, letting the president read only the first page.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"6cIPGtknse4vyoVpWw7LgTOhXu21AFNi5Q3ElCfbYmM\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThey\u2019re not going to let me read at all,\u201d Biden complains.<\/p>\n<p>Jill Biden responds by letting him read the first page. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pV0doA5WSS\">pic.twitter.com\/pV0doA5WSS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Charlie Spiering (@charliespiering) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/charliespiering\/status\/1516065290748055558?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 18, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>And here\u2019s Jill Biden tapping Joe on the arm with the command to \u201cjust stay,\u201d presumably so he didn\u2019t wander off as he is wont to do, followed by the duo awkwardly laughing it off as if she hadn\u2019t just treated the president of the free world like a puppy in training.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>Following the president\u2019s address from the White House, the first lady jumped in, instructing him to do the obvious: \u201cWave, wave.\u201d <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>Of course, if there\u2019s anything we know about marital dynamics, it\u2019s that \u201cType A\u201d wives often stay on top of the little details and help their husbands do the same. But this Joe Biden cringiness wasn\u2019t just the presidential equivalent of misplacing a wallet or not being able to find something that\u2019s located smack-dab in the middle of the fridge. This was like watching an assisted-living nurse spoon-feed a patient. <\/p>\n<p>Worse, it wasn\u2019t just Biden\u2019s wife taking care of him; even a giant furry was tasked with wrangling the president. When Biden started yammering about Pakistan and Afghanistan \u2014 his failed and deadly withdrawal from which became one of the many defining crises of his presidency \u2014 the Easter bunny stepped in to cut off the president from saying another word.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>If by some delusion, anyone still had any remaining confidence in the competence of our executive, that should have shattered it. But this isn\u2019t just about pointing out the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/09\/02\/biden-gaffe-machine-running-list-joe-bidens-best-slip-ups\/\">Biden gaffe machine\u2019s<\/a> perpetual blunders. It\u2019s a serious question: <em>Who is in charge?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We know it isn\u2019t Joe Biden, and although his wife had the reins on Sunday, we know the first lady\u2019s power is extremely limited. It probably isn\u2019t the person in the bunny suit either.<\/p>\n<p>We also know it isn\u2019t Kamala Harris, who despite being decades his junior <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/15\/kamala-harris-quotes-as-motivational-posters-because-the-time-to-be-inspired-is-every-day\/\">can\u2019t string together a more coherent sentence than he can<\/a> and seems to be largely shielded from the administration\u2019s pet policy work <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dSb6RnFttdM\">in true \u201cVeep\u201d fashion<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, who gets schooled by Fox News\u2019 Peter Doocy on a near-daily basis and is <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/04\/01\/jen-psaki-to-reportedly-leave-the-white-house-for-msnbc\/\">rumored to be leaving her post<\/a> soon for a gig at MSNBC, where she\u2019ll <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/04\/01\/jen-psaki-transfers-to-msnbc-bureau-of-the-biden-white-house-comms-team\/\">continue to spin<\/a> for the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>We also know it isn\u2019t the Democrats in Congress, who don\u2019t have a large enough majority to do jack-diddly except to advance Biden\u2019s Supreme Court nominee (<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/23\/judge-nominated-to-supreme-court-on-the-basis-of-her-sex-cant-define-woman\/\">not to be confused with a biologist<\/a>) to the bench \u2014 with Republican help.<\/p>\n<p>Who\u2019s in charge of the United States is an important question, and this isn\u2019t a laughing matter. All our foreign adversaries are watching this and licking their chops. Weakness invites aggression, as we\u2019ve already seen with Russia\u2019s advance on Ukraine and the systematic destruction of the U.S. southern border.<\/p>\n<p>So here we are: more than 330 million people, ostensibly in the hands of a president who\u2019s being ushered around by an Easter bunny, with no idea who\u2019s actually in charge around here. Given the state of our grocery shelves, southern border, gas prices, job openings, foreign policy, public schools, inflation, and health care, it would be awfully nice to know.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">\n  Kylee Zempel is an assistant editor at The Federalist.
