Trump and Biden at the White House Oval Office… Why is Biden looking so genuinely happy? Did he vote Trump in the election?
By Ezekiel Oloriegbe
From the body language at their Oval Office meeting at the White House, this theory does not seem at all far fetched.
His smile was the broadest and widest anyone has seen for months, he called Donald Trump by his first name, and there was no hint of all the bitterness and malice towards Trump that he has exhibited virtually all through the past four plus years, since the campaign for the 2020 election,
This theory, which I very much like, if confirmed, would mean that ol’ man Joe got his revenge at last.
It would mean all the so -called ‘self-sacrifice’ for the party in standing down from the presidential contest with Trump is a ruse, and that Biden has not forgiven the way his close allies knifed him at his back.
Supposed allies like Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and Nancy Pelosi threw him to the wolves …some of the former allies are now turning the knife in the wound by blaming Biden for Kamala’ s loss.
The idea being that Biden should have withdrawn much earlier to either give Kamala enough time to prepare for the Campaign, or given enough time to the Democrats to conduct primaries, and pick a new candidate to fight it out with the unpredictable and unconventional Trump.
However that may be, it is entirely possible that Biden managed to outdo his enemies in deviousness within the Democratic party. He deliberately refused to step down on time, and when he realised that the calls to step down were becoming unstoppable, he stepped back, and quickly offered the inefficient and vacuos Kamala to the party as a fait accompli, so that the party can not have the opportunity of choosing a more competent and more experienced candidate.
It is entirely plausible that Biden never really liked Kamala, and never thought of her as a presidential material. He only picked her as his running mate in order to use her to capture the Black vote. He never thought of himself as being incapable of a second term…contrary to what the Friends that betrayed him thought.
We can conclude cautiously from available evidence that, contrary to all impressions, Biden was very angry at being pushed off the ticket, and he decided to exact his pound of flesh from the party in a most painful ( but very malicious and selfish) way.
If indeed the above scenario turns out to be right (Biden spitting on the party that made him, and then cancelled him in the twilight of his career), then we can only say that Donald Trump has been reading certain verses in Psalm 35…
What do you guys think?
