Biden frustrated with aides for walking back his statements, worries he looks weak

President Joe Biden is reportedly frustrated with his staff in the White House and their efforts to "rush to explain" something the president has said.

"The so-called clean-up campaign, he has told advisers, undermines him and smothers the authenticity that fueled his rise. Worse, it feeds a Republican talking point that he’s not fully in command," NBC News reported Monday.

The White House has walked back several of the president's statements, including when Biden said that Russian President Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power."

The president was angry that his comments were being interpreted as unpredictable, according to the NBC report. White House spokesperson Andrew Bates pushed back on the NBC report.

"The breathlessness of paragraphs 1 & 2 versus the denial being relegated to graph 28 tells you what you need to know about this story. And as we've said before, no clarifications of the President's remarks are ever issued without his direct approval," he said in a statement.

"We don’t say anything that the president doesn’t want us to say," an official reportedly told the outlet in response to a question about clearing up the president's statements.

The White House has walked back and clarified a few statements the president has made, in addition to the one about Putin.

Other Democrats are frustrated as well, according to NBC. Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., said that the White House has not been able to introduce an "intellectually honest" inflation plan.

Biden also feels that he isn't getting credit where credit is due from the media or Americans with regard to the economy, NBC reported.

As if Biden is really aware of the walk backs?

Meanwhile...

Biden sees exodus of Black staffers and some frustration among those who remain The White House is historically diverse. But there are concerns internally about a wave of departures and the current culture.

“Sir, you walked back your statement about walking back your statements this morning right before your nap, remember?”

“Oh. Well, walk that one back too, then.”

“Yes sir, right away.”

So, if they never say anything he doesn't want them to say, why is he upset with what they are saying?

Democrat fake, Criminal POTUS, Joe Biden has to be led around by his ever loving wife...the Useless Jill!!! I watched Biden yesterday get led around by the guidance and hand of his caretaker wife, as Biden could barely walk, and hung the flower wreath for Memorial Day. Biden looked like he no more wanted to be there then he wanted wanted to be on the Moon!!! This man, Biden is the weakest and worst POTUS the USA has ever had!!! The poor guy belongs in an old age nut house home!!! Go figure!!!

“…and smothers the authenticity that fueled his rise…”

In the long history of the English language, no greater pile of 💩 has ever been written.
