Joe Biden Demonstrates How a President Should Behave

 


When Joe Biden spoke at the Democratic National Convention, he conducted himself in a manner worthy of a president. It was a very powerful speech which took me back to a time when life was more normal – or at least our government was. My favorite quote of his speech was: “Here and now, I give you my word: If you entrust me with the presidency, I will draw on the best of us not the worst. I will be an ally of the light not of the darkness.” If you think this race is not a showdown between good and evil, you are deluding yourself. If Donald Trump wins the election it would be catastrophic for this nation.

Joe Biden is respected among his peers and around the world. Our allies and our foes see Donald Trump quite frankly as an idiot – they have absolutely no respect for him. There is just no other way to put it. He is the brunt of global jokes which he has well earned that right. There is no longer any solace for other nations to have the United States in their corner, like it did pre-Trump days in office. The world use to look to us for leadership – now they look upon us with disdain. The United States has lost its credibility around the world and rightly so. Seriously, if another world government had a leader who behaved like Donald Trump; would you take him or her seriously? When you compare the differences between Joe Biden and Trump, it becomes even more apparent.

Here are some caparisons and contrasts between Joe Biden and Donald Trump:

  • Donald Trump is a president of darkness – he embraces hate, corruption, lies and division. Joe Biden will be a president who operates in the light – he embraces integrity, respect for all, strength, and unity.
  • Donald Trump is president solely for the Republican Party. Joe Biden will be president for all - Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.
  • Donald Trump invited and allows Russia to interfere in our elections. Joe Biden will not allow Russian interference in our American elections.
  • Donald Trump is the president of red states and has let it be known he could care less about blue states. This fate even goes for his Republican constituents who reside in blue states. His punitive policies will ultimately impact those who vote for him who live in blue states. Joe Biden will be president to everyone in the United States – those who reside in both red and blue states.
  • Donald Trump will be courteous to you if you are to him, and do as he wishes. Joe Biden treats everyone with respect – even those he disagrees with.
  • Donald Trump appeals to the racist and white nationalist and hate groups.  He makes efforts to protect them at the expense of the rest of the American people. Joe Biden appeals to all races and seeks to unite America; not divide America like Donald Trump
  • Donald Trump is woefully ignorant of the processes of government and the Constitution. Joe Biden knows in the ends and outs of government; and respects the proper processes and procedures put in place by our Constitution.
  • Donald Trump takes his guidance and direction from Fox News. Joe Biden is knowledgeable, and does not rely on a crutch from any one person or entity.
  • Donald Trump has the maturity level of a teenager. Joe Biden is mature and is not easily angered like Trump.
  • Donald Trump reveres himself and other dictators. Joe Biden reveres God.
  • Donald Trump has been impeached. Joe Biden has not.
  • Donald Trump has been formally accused of Obstruction of Justice, and extortion. Joe Biden has not.
  • Donald Trump leads by fear.  Joe Biden will lead by intellect, knowledge, and the ability to think and make rational decisions.
  • Donald Trump is terrified of Vladymir Putin. Joe Biden is not. When he was vice-president to President Barack Obama, Biden on video put Putin on notice.
  • Donald Trump was too afraid to approach Vladymir Putin after Russia placed bounties on the heads of U.S. Soldiers in Afghanistan. Joe Biden said he would address this with Russia if elected, and he will defend our soldiers and veterans against any foreign adversary.
  • Donald Trump’s ego is so fragile and volatile, that he has sought legal action to keep those who criticize him, from being able to comment on his Twitter page. Joe Biden, among pretty much every other politician in this country, allows American citizens to comment on his Twitter page.

I know there are plenty more examples of the differences between the two, but that would require me writing a book. But there is one last comparison that I believe is the most imperative of them all, as it pretty much encapsulates all of the aforementioned comparisons listed above.  

Donald Trump is about himself.  Joe Biden is about others and the welfare of the United States of America.
