Why would Biden want to be POTUS anyway??

[TitoFan]

Think about it. He's no spring chicken. He's paid his dues in life and can certainly do without the aggravation.

He would be inheriting a splintered country, more divided than ever before (but Trump is still nominated for a [cough, gag] Nobel Peace Prize).

He would be inheriting a country where Trump took all the credit for some of the groundwork by the Obama administration to get the economy headed in the right direction (economy lag time... economic indicators... and all that... if anyone cares to look).

And NOW... probably poised for some inevitable consequences of some Trump bonehead moves that may have THEIR effect on the economy sometime during the coming year.

Trump would NOT ride quietly off into the sunset. He'd remain on the sidelines, now as a disgruntled former President.... criticizing Biden the minute the guy put his feet on the bedroom floor every morning in the White House. Undermining every single decision made by Biden, and egging on his angry supporters to do the same. He would make life miserable for Biden, but now not just as a blowhard pest of a man who just won't go away... but as a former President, with all the power that unfortunately comes with it.

Trump would openly gloat over Biden's (and by extension the country's) misfortunes... and anyone who cares to dispute that statement seriously needs a reality check.

So all things considered..... why in HELL would anyone, especially a soon-to-be 78 year old man, want to be POTUS??

I asked myself the same question in 2016 about Donald Trump. This guy is a multi-billionaire with his own hotels and casinos and resorts and golf courses all over the world so why the hell would he want to run for president? So yes I can ask the same thing about Joe Biden who's eight years older than Trump was in 2016. Doesn't make any sense to me

I'm 56 right now and all I want to do once this pandemic is over is work part-time and take care of my health and travel. I would not be wanting to go back to Manhattan right now or Brooklyn and take a job in a financial company and work my ass off at 56 years old even if they paid me $2,000 a week

So I can't imagine what it must feel like at the age of 78 if it already feels like this at 56

Who would want to see their 78-year-old face smeared by the media everyday with articles about skin cancer and strokes and dementia and all the other stuff you know they have ready coming for Biden

Or maybe these people are all laughing in their sleeves and the joke is on the people who are watching this charade

For Trump it was one more trophy on the mantle. Shit named after me... check. My own reality TV show... check. Former model wife... check. Becoming President... check.

So true.........AND........

he can really market his ass off as ex-Prez with all kinds of appearances and business deals and connexions he's making now around the world (Saudi, etc.) I bet the whole fucking thing about Trump running was to just boost his income and his kids' incomes.

If he gave a fuck about Americans, he wouldve declared a mask mandate in March, like EVERY OTHER FUCKING COUNTRY ON EARTH. But oh no, Americans have to be different, defiant, muh freedom, etc.... and Trump just egged that on, he just encouraged that bullshit, never to this day saying people MUST wear a mask.

What a piece of shit. Thats why America now has 7, 500,000 cases and 211,000 deaths. No country on Earth even comes close.

Must be tired of being a two time 2nd place POTUS . I'd honestly throw my enthusiasm and full commitment behind a bowl of apple cinnamon oatmeal before I completely lined up for Biden. But Trump no longer even makes the table so. Tis is the system we're in

With syrup? Tons of breakfast references lately, you must really have an appetite. I couldnt ever vote for Biden. Its not possible. He's like a Weetabix thats been in warm milk for 40 minutes. (ha! another breakfast ref)
