Agence France-Presse published an observational report on November 2 titled "Biden, Who Crises and Laughs, Reveals His Personal Feelings." The full text is excerpted below:
He cried and laughed, and always said he was sorry. As the most powerful man in the world, U.S. President Joe Biden has undoubtedly shown his weak side.
On Monday, Biden represented the United States in Glasgow to apologize on behalf of Donald Trump, whom he defeated a full year ago. The day before in Rome, Biden had nearly burst into tears when he talked about his deceased son and pope.
This happened during Biden's visit to Europe, where he attended the G20 Leaders' Summit and the United Nations Climate Change Conference.
Trump has a yelling macho face, Obama exudes a gentle confidence, and Biden always shows his emotions.
Biden has turned a deaf ear to politicians' creed of "apologizing is weak," and he is always apologizing.
Apologize for being late, apologize for speaking for too long, apologize for annoying people, and apologize for not being as good as those around you.
Apologies tend to be mild self-deprecating behavior. Whenever First Lady Jill Biden is present, one of his favorite opening lines is, "Hey, everyone, I'm Jill's husband." ”
For the bad news — there's a lot of bad news for Biden these days — his reaction is basically to smile or chuckle in a low voice.
Biden failed to gain congressional support for providing free community college education to all Americans, and when the situation became clear last month, the 78-year-old joked that Jill himself was a professor at a community college and that she would kick him out of bed. Biden said: "(Fortunately) there are a lot of bedrooms in the White House.
Apologize for the sake of apologizing
Biden apologized On Monday for Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, which aims to save the planet from global warming. Biden's apology is typical: He began by showing an apology for the sake of apologizing. He said: "I don't think I should apologize, but I apologize anyway." ”
The day before, Biden was emotional about his son Bo Biden, who died of brain cancer in 2015. His emotional words showed extraordinary frankness.
Biden initially said he would not answer questions from reporters about what his meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican meant to him, which Biden said was a private meeting.
But Biden's box was later opened, recalling that during Pope Francis' visit to the United States, he offered moral support to Bo Biden's family on his deathbed. "The wound still hurts," Biden said, and the pope "played an extremely important role in helping us vent our grief," and his voice became hoarse.
Does this trick work?
Biden's way of expressing emotions is not just a matter of his personality, but also a political brand.
Biden advertised himself as "middle-class Joe." He is too real to be a normal politician. That's how he designed it. Given his age and the enormous responsibilities he now shoulders, Biden's public image has evolved into that of a wise and lively old man. Does this trick work? Not really.
Milder critics say Biden is too weak to cope with the ferocious political infighting in Washington. The men stressed that so far Biden has failed to force his party to approve its massive infrastructure and social spending package in Congress.
As for the tougher critics, they are much more explicit, some questioning whether Biden is quick-witted, and Trump and his cohorts spread conspiracy theories everywhere, saying that Biden is a puppet in the White House.
The more vicious the taunts, the higher the mood of voters in the Trump camp. At many sports events across the country, people chant Come on, Brandon (somewhat similar to you, Joe Biden in English), which has now become a state insult to Biden, and many Republican members of Congress have fanned the flames.
"Got it, man!"
There is no doubt that after 9 months in office and 12 months after winning the election, Biden is currently facing trouble.
According to the latest NBC poll, 54 percent of Americans are unhappy with Biden's performance. Only 42 percent said they were satisfied.
Trump provokes Biden every day, falsely claiming that he is the real winner of the 2020 election, in addition to plotting a comeback in 2024.
However, as sentimental as Biden is, he doesn't seem to let that melancholy affect him.
Wherever he went, he said, "Got it, man! The angry words hung on the lips. Or, as he put it in Rome, polls "always go up and down."
