The article discusses 'Original Sin', a book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson that critiques Joe Biden's presidency. Drawing parallels to Shakespeare's 'King Lear', it explores Biden's cognitive decline and the implications of his leadership. Through various insider quotes, the authors argue that Biden, like Lear, bears significant responsibility for the chaos in his administration. The book reflects disillusionment among political insiders and suggests that Biden's failure to lead effectively and decisively has resulted in consequences for the nation, mirroring tragic narratives in literature.
"Five people were running the country, and Joe Biden was at best a senior member of the board," indicating internal dissent and a power struggle during Biden's presidency.
"If he were mad from the jump, the cause of his eventual downfall would be medical, not moral... the blame is his to bear in Act V, when he has lost both."
"That analogy is picked up by Original Sin, which draws on hundreds of interviews and explores Biden's cognitive decline and its implications for his presidency."
"The title of that chapter is simply: 'He Totally Fucked Us.' This reflects the sentiment that Biden's leadership has failed to secure responsible governance and accountability.
