Biden is correct that autocrats - from China's Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin to Iran's new president, Ebrahim Raisi, and North Korea's Kim Jong-un - see a consequential moment in history and are eyeing the world's lone superpower.
Our secretary of state - named A. Blinken, an irony that exceeds the Dickensian - in March, in the name of diplomacy, swallowed face-to-face verbal abuse from the Chinese; meanwhile, the Biden Justice Department thinks parents concerned with the ideological insanity being taught to their children in public schools are domestic terrorists; Biden blames COVID-19 on the tens of millions of Americans leery about taking vaccines developed less than a year ago, and uses the full powers of the federal government to bully them into submission; he blames his own crisis of an open southern border on the supposed racism of our nation's heroic border guards, who are largely Hispanic.
Whatever the problem or issue, at home or abroad, for the Biden administration the fault lies with America.
Biden - as much an anti-Reagan as he is a doddering, septuagenarian reincarnation of Jimmy Carter - sees no good in the exercise of American power, and in the legitimacy of a geopolitical order led by a United States with the moral confidence to act as the superpower that won the Cold War.
During Reagan's second term, with the Soviet Union just several years from the ash heap of history, as Reagan foresaw, Biden believed Reagan's missile defense would cause, not prevent, nuclear war.
Does anyone believe that President Biden is "Deeply confident in the superiority of the American system" or that he has read deeply in American political philosophy?
Today, all the signs are there of a self-flagellating, collapsing giant going through a fatal identity crisis - exactly what someone following Biden's long career of misjudgment and wrongheadedness would fully expect from a Biden presidency.
