Biden’s So-Called ‘Oligarchs’ - Victor Davis Hanson - American Greatness

Many things could be said about Biden’s farewell address, but I will limit them to three. 
  • In his last address, Joe Biden offered a Parthian shot at “oligarchs” and the dangers these “billionaires” pose to the republic. 
  • At the same time, left-wing senators hammered Trump cabinet nominees on the grounds that they would be too complacent in the face of a supposed takeover of the country by Trump’s “billionaires” and their “oligarchy.”
Many things could be said about Biden’s farewell address, but I will limit them to three.
  • First, Biden was attempting to copycat the warnings of outgoing president and iconic war hero Dwight D. Eisenhower...
  • Second, until November 2024, Biden had no problems with oligarchs...
  • Third, quite unlike Biden, Trump is leveraging support from “billionaires,” many of whom have not donated to his campaign and were not previously his political supporters...
Biden’s hypocritical parting shot at “oligarchs” should be filed with his eleventh-hour crazy pardons, his final lies about pardoning his son, and the bizarre edict that unconstitutionally, as some dictator, he could pass a 28th Amendment by fiat: all the sad end of a sadder presidency.
