We have seen the future, and it sucks.

Biden Does His Best Banana Republic Impression

It’s hardly surprising that China feels emboldened. Xi Jinping must look at America and see not just a superpower in decline but a gerontocracy that has lost its marbles.

Last week, Nancy Pelosi, the eighty-two-year-old Speaker of the House of Representatives, visited Taiwan as a gesture of solidarity, in spite of China’s fierce warnings that her arrival would be treated as a grave provocation. Presumably Pelosi felt that, by not being cowed, she’d shown China who’s still global boss. And other photo-opportunistic politicians are expected now to imitate her. What for, though? In the following days, China intensified its military drills around the Taiwan Strait. Some experts reckon that the Chinese Communist Party used Pelosi’s visit as an excuse to carry out an invasion rehearsal. Well played, Nancy.

Meanwhile, the seventy-nine-year-old Commander-in-Chief fumbles on and on. Last week, Joe Biden’s White House tried to redefine the word “recession” in order to stop America being officially in one. Joe and his wife, Jill, visited a flood in Kentucky, which is what presidents and first ladies are meant to do. On the way back, however, the old man couldn’t get on his jacket as he stepped off the Marine One helicopter. Jill had to help him, and he dropped his sunglasses on the tarmac. Barely a day goes by without Biden stumbling in some way, and it all adds to an overwhelming sense that the president is too decrepit.
