Biden ABC interview Fri 5 Jul 2024. (ABC\/YouTube screenshot)<\/p><\/div>\n

6 Jul 2024\u00a0–<\/em> The comment by the sitting U.S. president in yesterday\u2019s interview has been ignored by the mainstream, but its megalomania is at the heart of why Joe Biden is defying his party and remaining in the race.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

About midway through what was billed as the most consequential interview of Joe Biden\u2019s political career, he uttered the most consequential words in the interview<\/a>: \u201cI am running the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those five words explain why he refuses to withdraw from the race and confirm what most Americans deny, but which most of the world knows: U.S. presidents act as world emperors.<\/p>\n

The interview<\/a> with ABC News\u2019 George Stephanopoulos was supposed to be Biden\u2019s chance to show the country he is mentally fit to remain in the presidency and run for a second term, at the end of which, if he is still alive, he\u2019d be 86 years old.<\/p>\n

Biden is trying to recover from a debate performance on June 27 that showed 43.7 million television viewers the debilitated state of his mind. On the whole, he was as addled in the debate as he has been for years now, but never before not live in front of such an immense audience.<\/p>\n

The reaction from the Democratic Party and its media was unprecedented: pundits and editorialists; Democratic members of Congress; major donors; party political operatives and analysts all demanded in apparent, coordinated uniformity:\u00a0 Stop being selfish Joe and quit the race so Donald Trump doesn\u2019t win.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s had the opposite effect. Biden has resisted the chorus from the party elite: \u201cI\u2019m not going anywhere,\u201d he told a rally on Friday, saying<\/a> erroneously that he would beat Trump again in 2020. Earlier he met with Democratic state governors at the White House. He told them he was fine. \u201cIt\u2019s just my brain,\u201d he said<\/a>, according to The New York Times.<\/em><\/p>\n

And to show the public he\u2019s still got his marbles he sat down with Stephanopoulos in a taped interview, the subject of which was only his brain.<\/p>\n

\u201cGEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Would you be willing to undergo an independent medical evaluation that included neurological and cognit\u2013 cognitive tests and release the results to the American people?<\/p>\n

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Look. I have a cognitive test every single day. Every day I have that test. Everything I do. You know, not only am I campaigning, but I\u2019m running the world.<\/em> Not\u2013 and that\u2019s not hi\u2013 sounds like hyperbole, but we are the essential nation of the world..<\/p>\n

Madeleine Albright was right. And every single day, for example, today before I came out here, I\u2019m on the phone with\u2013 with the prime minister of\u2013 well, anyway, I shouldn\u2019t get into detail, but with Netanyahu. I\u2019m on the phone with the new prime minister of England.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m workin\u2019 on what we were doin\u2019 with regard to\u2013 in Europe with regard to expansion of NATO and whether it\u2019s gonna stick. I\u2019m takin\u2019 on Putin. I mean, every day there\u2019s no day I go through there not those decisions I have to make every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Biden thinks he\u2019s running the world and he\u2019s not gonna give it up. No matter that he\u2019s losing his mind for all to see. No matter that he is fully supporting an ongoing genocide in Gaza. No matter that he provoked<\/a> and keeps expanding a conflict in Ukraine that is heading towards nuclear confrontation with Russia.<\/p>\n

Biden is obsessed with power \u2014 with the power of \u201crunning the world.\u201d And he won\u2019t let go.<\/p>\n

America is the first world empire. The U.S. president is the first world emperor. The debate to win the emperorship between Biden and Trump \u2014 the \u201cstable genius\u201d deranged in his own right \u2014 was an end-of-empire spectacle, as though it were Caligula debating Nero.<\/p>\n

The rest of the world shudders in apprehension at what will come of this.<\/p>\n
