The first is to paint his dumpster presidency as though he\u2019s a victim of circumstance rather than the rotting root of all of our nation\u2019s woes.<\/p>\n<p>Politico\u2019s version <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/06\/05\/biden-wants-to-get-out-more-seething-that-his-standing-is-now-worse-than-trumps-00037278\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">on Sunday<\/a> went like this: \u201cPresident Joe Biden and his aides have grown increasingly frustrated by their inability to turn the tide against a cascade of challenges threatening to overwhelm the administration.\u201d The story also declared that, \u201cIn crisis after crisis, the White House has found itself either limited or helpless in its efforts to combat the forces pummeling them\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, an online article by NBC News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/white-house\/biden-white-house-adrift-rcna30121\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">last week<\/a> said Biden is \u201cFaced with a worsening\u00a0political predicament.\u201d Biden is not \u201cfaced\u201d with a \u201cpredicament\u201d and there is not a \u201ccascade of challenged\u201d that\u2019s \u201cthreatening\u201d his administration. Biden <em>is<\/em> the predicament. He <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/09\/24\/biden-isnt-facing-challenges-biden-is-the-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>is<\/em> the challenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not a matter of chance that the southern border continues <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/06\/06\/states-like-texas-must-override-biden-in-taking-steps-to-secure-their-borders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to be crushed<\/a> by all of Latin America\u2019s destitute. It\u2019s because Biden and his trusty sidekick Kamala Harris allow it. They invite it. <\/p>\n<p>There were 234,000 illegal border crossings <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/stats\/southwest-land-border-encounters?language_content_entity=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in April<\/a>, the latest month for which government data is available. That\u2019s more than any other month of Biden\u2019s presidency. It\u2019s 55,000 more than April of the previous year and it\u2019s more than triple the amount of crossing that took place in the final month of Donald Trump\u2019s presidency.<\/p>\n<p>Watching those numbers climb, Biden\u2019s team decided it was as good a time as any to lift the Covid rule that allowed for the expedited expulsion of illegal migrants.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s by sad stroke of luck that under Biden the cost of gas has doubled and Americans have to take out a second mortgage to buy a week of groceries. It\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/09\/28\/americans-are-over-bidens-pandemic-incompetence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$2 trillion in welfare<\/a> (sometimes referred to as \u201cCovid relief\u201d) Biden and Congressional Democrats shoved into an economy that was already at a simmer. Steve Rattner, an economist who worked in the Obama administration, when Biden was vice president, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/04\/14\/opinion\/interest-rates-inflation-federal-reserve.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> all of that money would \u201cgo down in history as an extraordinary policy mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is the case with all of our biggest problems. Biden isn\u2019t \u201cfaced\u201d with them. He created them.<\/p>\n<p>The second thing these news articles do is try to make it look like Biden and his aides are aware of the calamity and are in some way productively strategizing the best ways to address it.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how the Washington Post did it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2022\/05\/31\/biden-inflation-frustration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">May 31<\/a>: \u201cPresident Biden [has] complained for weeks to aides that his administration was not doing enough to publicly explain the fastest price increases in roughly four decades.\u201d The story referred to \u201cnew activity,\u201d a \u201cflurry of activity,\u201d and, a \u201cflurry of moves\u201d by the White House, which amounted to some officials writing op-eds and appearing on TV news programs.<\/p>\n<p>That Politico piece said the \u201cplan\u201d is now to \u201cput Biden on the road to highlight progress being made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NBC illustrated how deadly earnest Biden is in noting that he\u2019s \u201cpressing aides for a more compelling message and a sharper strategy,\u201d and mentioned that he\u2019s \u201cbristling at how they\u2019ve tried to stifle the plain-speaking persona that has long been one of his most potent assets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry, FOLKS. Biden knows just how bad it is out there for you FOLKS. He\u2019s pressing and bristling, FOLKS.<\/p>\n<p>If it weren\u2019t for the fact that moms aren\u2019t able to find baby formula in Biden\u2019s barren economy, this would be funny. But that\u2019s another one of those real problems Biden <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">faces<\/span> created.<\/p>\n<p>Hang tight. The White House is about to put Biden on the road.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">\n  Eddie Scarry is the D.C. columnist at The Federalist and author of &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Privileged-Victims-Americas-Fascists-Hijacked\/dp\/1642931454\">Privileged Victims: How America&#8217;s Culture Fascists Hijacked the Country and Elevated Its Worst People<\/a>.&#8221;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A spate of news articles came out in recent days hilariously attempting to do two things for Joe Biden.
