This tale came to mind last week when Joe Biden tried to claim some credit for Trump's brokering of a groundbreaking deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates that normalizes relations between the two countries.
In March of 2016, as Biden later boasted, the Veep threatened Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko that the U.S. would not honor $1 billion in loan guarantees unless the prosecutor looking into Burisma Holdings, suspected of corruption, was fired.
Now that's an "Achievement" Biden deserves to take credit for.
Cui bono? His son Hunter, who served on Burisma's board, and whose own company, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, "Received regular transfers into one of its accounts," John Solomon reported, "Usually more than $166,000 a month - from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015, during a period when Vice President Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine and its tense relations with Russia."
Biden's attempt to take credit for Trump's foreign policy breakthrough serves not just to burnish his mediocre foreign policy credentials before the election, but to hype the Obama administration's dismal record of mediocrity and failure so Biden can bask in its glory.
If Obama had put in place policies that in time would create the spectacular numbers Trump achieved, why were his economists warning us that future GDP growth would average no greater than 2% annually, a mark Trump exceeded during his first three fiscal years? Where are the predictions from 2016 that despite the sluggish recovery, the economy would take off like a rocket within a year, and the stock market rise by 55% before the pandemic hit? This attempt to rewrite history is a flop, an obviously feeble attempt on the part of Obama's courtiers to salvage his presidential tenure, which has been one of the worst since World War II. Expect to hear more fake history from Biden in the next few months, particularly since he has a proven record of making history up.
So Biden's attempts to rewrite recent history in order to further his and the left's political ambitions go beyond his cognitive deficiencies or his flawed character.
