WASHINGTON — It’s not just Biden family artwork that’s struggling to sell these days.
Former President Joe Biden’s attempt to bill $300,000 per speaking appearance is finding few takers, The Post has learned — as some of his own former aides say it’s time for the 82-year-old to leave the spotlight for good after reminiscing about “colored kids” Tuesday in his first public address since leaving office.
A source familiar with Biden’s faltering speaking career said that the 46th president’s standard pitch is $300,000 — 25% below Barack Obama’s $400,000 asking price upon leaving office in 2017.
It’s unclear how negotiable Biden’s rate is.
If travel is required, a private jet and expenses for five staffers also is expected for Biden, who has been repped since early February by the Creative Artists Agency.
“CAA is having trouble booking gigs, which isn’t surprising,” the tipster said.
A second source said they heard people close to Biden floating an even higher desired fee, despite the ex-commander in chief having a history of peddling glaring inaccuracies before his political career came to a crashing end when he delivered incoherent debate remarks that prompted a Democratic mutiny.

I think if they added a pice of ART WORK of Hunter, with the ART and the Speech, $300,000 pesos would be a good deal.
that ol’ pants crappin’ bastard would have trouble booking gigs for a dollar!!
Why would the “big guy” need the money? He won’t live long enough to begin to spend it all.
I’m sure the professional fool has enough ill gotten gain for a few lifetimes, just like every other big name D.
Always grifting
And yet - AOC draws 3-mile-long line for rally in California’s Trump country.
Maybe Pedo Pete didn’t do it right.
Wouldn’t bus load after bus load of ‘colored kids’ want to see him sleep on stage?
Traitorjoe’s handlers, ghostwriters, and drug suppliers are increasing their rates before its too late.
Oh It’s To Late already.
When you can barely speak , speaking gigs could be tough to come by.
But these folks looked past him molesting his daughter, sending millions of black folks to jail, flooding the country with illegals, sniffing every prepubescent girl that came near him, sending inflation to 9% and losing a proxy war halfway across the planet so things may pick up for him….
“I’m sure the professional fool has enough ill gotten gain for a few lifetimes, just like every other big name D.”
It’s not that he needs the money. He doesn’t. It’s not about the money...though, in a perverse way it is, but not for what it buys. But instead for what it means. He’s defined money as a store of his personal value. The more he has, the better person he is. Since he’s looking at a false scale, then no matter how much he has, it will never be enough.
Contrast this with me. I’m 71. I started seriously thinking about retirement in the early nineties. I started buying and fixing affordable rentals. I saved like mad. I paid off my crappy little house which is VERY nicely remade by me inside. Suppose I won the lottery. Would I move into a mansion? No. I’m very happy with the house I built. Modest though it is. For me money is a means to comfort whereas to Biden, it represents his value as a human. Big mistake. He believes he won’t feel okay with himself until he has it ALL.
Grifters grift graf. The Biden Family M.O.
Nobody much wanted to listen to what Joe Biden had to say while he was President-select, what could he possibly add to that now?
The message is, nobody cares.
I MIGHT pay him $10 to pick up leaves in my yard.
I would have to think through if that would be money well spent or not.
Is it possible that the Bidens are having difficulty accessing the stashed funds offshore, etc., from various projects while he was in office, and are actually strapped for cash flow?
Aka laundering by the ex’s
Ya it was only a case of ANYONE but orange man...
Wasn’t that AOC rally around the same time as Coachella? RATs are famous for setting up at or near concerts and other events in order to claim they are the actual crowd draw.
Interesting the big rally was in California right when Coachella happened.
“Why would the “big guy” need the money?”
Dr. Jill and Hunter need cash for their ‘charity’ work.
I’d pay $100 to hear him give his famous Corn Pop/Hairy Legs speech again.
