Biden Says Global Leaders Still Seek His Counsel

Despite having retired from the presidency amid an array of criticisms, Joe Biden insists that world leaders continue to reach out to him for guidance. Biden, who served as President, recently shared that he still plays an advisory role behind the scenes, much to the surprise of many.

In a talk at the Society for Human Resource Management convention in San Diego, Biden revealed that significant political figures, including European leaders, are still seeking his advice. He mentioned this during a conversation with SHRM President Johnny Taylor, as noted by the Western Journal. Although he expressed reluctance to become involved, he offered advice due to the evolving global dynamics.

Democratic strategist Chris Jackson posted a video clip showing Biden during this conversation. In it, Biden spoke in a calm manner but grew more animated as he questioned rhetorically, “If America doesn’t lead the world, who can?” He emphasized that the country’s leadership is not just about power but about bringing the world together.

In what seemed like an unexpected twist in his speech, Biden mentioned his cherished ’67 Corvette, injecting some nostalgia into the discussion.

However, some critics swiftly reacted to these remarks, characterizing them as detached from reality. They argue that such comments reflect the challenges Biden faced while in office, including economic concerns like rising inflation and gas prices, alongside border issues. These pressures, culminating in internal criticism from the Democratic Party, led to Biden deciding against running for another term.

There were also significant controversies throughout Biden’s time in office. The impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and controversies involving Biden’s son, Hunter, were notable incidents. The administration faced additional scrutiny over issuing preemptive pardons to figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci and Hunter Biden, raising questions about the use of autopen signatures.

An ICE report recently revealed troubling inadequacies in vetting sponsors for migrant children, with some children reportedly facing harm, further fueling the critiques from his opponents.

For many skeptics, the notion that foreign leaders are still turning to Biden for advice seems hard to believe in light of these issues. Some political commentators have noted that such statements reflect the blurred lines between Biden’s legacy and his perception of it.

All of these developments make Biden’s assertion that he remains a sought-after advisor both intriguing and contentious, particularly to his detractors.

Political analyst opined that, considering the challenges and controversies during his presidency, the continued interest in Biden’s counsel is quite a bold claim. To critics, this is yet another instance of the former president blending truth with his narrative of legacy-building.
