Joe Biden has delivered his fair share of head-scratching, cringe-inducing, and outright false statements during his time in the White House. But a newly surfaced video from earlier this month might just take the cake for its sheer audacity, confusion, and complete detachment from reality. It’s a perfect encapsulation of why his presidency has been marked by such frustration, and thankfully, it’s almost over.
The clip, originally from January 5 but only now gaining traction, features Biden launching into one of his trademark disjointed rambles. First, he bizarrely bragged about cursing out reporters, claiming he’s met “more world leaders than any of them had met in their g**damn lives.” Classic Biden—combative, defensive, and weirdly focused on his own supposed expertise instead of addressing the actual issues facing the country.
But then things really went off the rails when he started talking about the border. “Let’s get something in mind about the border,” Biden said, as if what he was about to say was some revelatory truth. He claimed, “When I got into the White House, the numbers came way down, number one.”
BIDEN: “Let’s get something in mind about the border. When I became president, the numbers came way down!”
He also says he “pushed very hard” to “put more Secret Service agents” on the border 🤔 pic.twitter.com/WofMS4OFFQ

Let’s pause right there. That statement is not only false—it’s the exact opposite of reality. After Biden took office, illegal border crossings didn’t go down; they skyrocketed to historic levels. Under Biden, border security went from manageable under Trump’s policies to a full-blown crisis. His decisions to halt border wall construction, reinstate catch-and-release policies, and loosen immigration enforcement were direct invitations for illegal immigration. To now stand there and claim the numbers “came way down” is gaslighting of the highest order.
And Biden wasn’t done. He went on to talk about how he supposedly pushed for bipartisan support to “put more people on the border, more, more Secret Service agents.” Secret Service agents? What is he even talking about? The Secret Service doesn’t patrol the border—that’s the job of Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection. It’s hard to tell if this was a simple slip of the tongue or if Biden genuinely doesn’t know the difference, but either way, it’s a troubling sign of just how disconnected he’s become.
Even more bizarre was Biden’s accusation that Trump supposedly told others, “Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Make me look bad,” in reference to Biden’s border policies. What does that even mean? This sounds more like a projection of Biden’s own insecurities than a coherent critique of his predecessor. The numbers don’t lie—Trump’s border policies were effective, and Biden’s dismantling of them caused chaos. Trying to rewrite history just makes him look desperate.
This is a breathtaking lie. Illegal crossings absolutely exploded after he became president. Numbers finally dropped very late in his term after his team implemented policies (near an election) they’d resisted for 3+ years. https://t.co/g5GHCG5W95 pic.twitter.com/ny9eNRM0wX

And speaking of desperation, Biden’s incoherent statements over the past few days suggest that he’s truly struggling as his time in the White House comes to an end. Just days ago, he claimed that Kamala Harris could have beaten Trump, despite the fact that Harris not only lost the election in a landslide but failed to gain any traction during the 2020 Democratic primaries. It’s almost as if Biden is trying to rewrite his entire administration’s record before walking out the door.
Then there’s the strange comment about waiting to hear what Trump has to say before finalizing his list of pardons. Why would Biden need Trump’s input on pardons? It’s baffling, and it only adds to the perception that he’s completely out of touch with his role and responsibilities.
What’s most concerning about all of this is how blatantly the media continues to cover for him. While this clip went viral thanks to social media, it should have been headline news when it first happened. The fact that it took weeks to surface shows just how eager the mainstream press is to protect Biden from embarrassment. But at this point, no amount of spin can disguise the fact that he’s simply unfit for the office he holds.
