Puzzlement

There were myriad criticisms of a former president after that one awful debate. I watched only a small part of of it and concurred with the media view that this person was no longer fit to be president on the basis of his performance. But it might be fun to turn the tables. What if Mr. Biden said “I’m going to fire as many people as I can”. Or “ I think it would be great to turn Gaza into a beautiful seaside resort.” or even “How about Canada becoming the 51st state!” The hue and cry would be that the poor man was delusional or just plain crazy. If he had continued to declare that he had always been effective in his job in government, we would have at least surmised that it was too bad, but he wasn’t in the same position any more.

I just wonder if the current incumbent actually thinks he is just in a previous scenario - being able to yell out, “You’re fired”. Or he is channeling the old real estate developer role. Government isn’t a TV series or a real estate company. No one seems to be pointing this out. Acting out of context brings some pretty serious consequences. Will anybody wake up?
