Biden’s Performance Praised By Media, Criticized By Western Diplomats

The mainstream media has recently praised President Joe Biden’s “comeback,” but this sentiment is not shared by Western diplomats who are increasingly turning to President Donald Trump. Despite Biden’s apparent struggles, the press has rallied to support him, creating a stark contrast with the views of international observers.

For a short time, the media acknowledged Biden’s health issues. However, after a recent press conference where Biden mixed up Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, the narrative shifted. Despite the mishaps, the media portrayed Biden’s performance positively, ignoring his obvious difficulties.

European diplomats, however, are not convinced. Reports indicate that they have begun to reach out to Trump, anticipating a change in U.S. leadership. At a NATO summit, Biden’s blunder of calling Ukraine’s leader “President Putin” caused an audible gasp among European officials, highlighting their unease.

Behind the scenes, diplomats are preparing for a potential Trump return. They have been engaging with Trump’s allies, attending events, and building relationships, reflecting their skepticism about Biden’s chances in the next election.

This divergence between the media’s portrayal and the diplomats’ concerns underscores the uncertainty surrounding Biden’s leadership. As the situation develops, it remains unclear if Biden can reassure his international counterparts or if their preparations for a Trump comeback will be validated.
