Biden Stumbles Through Late and Bizarre First Speech Since Trump Took Office

Joe Biden finally emerged from political exile Tuesday night and immediately reminded America why he was sent packing in the first place. In his first public speech since President Trump took office, the former president delivered a rambling, off-key address that was equal parts confusion and revisionist history, stunning even longtime supporters with its incoherence.

The setting? A Chicago gathering of disability advocates. The topic? Social Security. But what unfolded was a chaotic 30-minute-late appearance full of awkward pauses, factual errors, and inexplicable tangents that left viewers scratching their heads and left the Left scrambling for damage control.

Before Biden even hit the podium, he started reading from the teleprompter while the music was still blaring, inaudible to the audience, clearly unaware the event hadn’t even begun properly. Once his mic was live, things quickly went downhill.

In an attempt to share his civil rights "credentials," Biden launched into a rambling story from his childhood:

“I had never seen hardly any black people in Scranton… I remember seeing the kids going by at the time, colored kids on a bus going by.”

He continued, drifting into an anecdote about not being able to attend public school with black children in Delaware, concluding that it “sparked my sense of outrage.” The story was incoherent, historically suspect, and emblematic of a man grasping at relevance while failing to make a coherent point.

When he finally turned to policy, Biden accused President Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) of “taking a hatchet to Social Security.”

“In fewer than 100 days, this new administration has [caused] so much damage,” he claimed, seemingly ignoring the fact that Trump has explicitly pledged not to touch benefits only to eliminate the fraud and waste that has long plagued the program.

Biden then made one of his more bizarre declarations of the night:

“Those 300-year-old folks getting that Social Security, I want to meet them.”

Fox News had to cut away from the speech to begin fact-checking in real time. Host Bret Baier clarified that the Trump administration hasn’t dismantled Social Security, but has instead streamlined the bureaucracy by cutting 7,000 redundant positions and targeting the fraud Biden’s team ignored for years.

Elon Musk, now helping lead the effort, called Social Security “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time” during a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, highlighting the broken math behind a system where fewer workers support more retirees each year. And Musk isn’t alone Trump himself addressed the crisis in his March address to Congress, vowing to safeguard benefits while rooting out corruption.

The contrast couldn’t be clearer:

• Trump and Musk are cleaning up decades of government bloat and corruption.

• Biden is offering bedtime stories, half-whispered, half-shouted, riddled with errors, and totally detached from reality.

• The American people deserve leadership, not late-night comedy from a man who seems better suited for the retirement home than the campaign trail.

Even White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt couldn't resist poking fun at Biden's return:

“I thought his bedtime was much earlier than his speech tonight.”

At this rate, the Democrats will need more than teleprompters and nostalgia to compete in 2028. Biden’s appearance was a reminder of what the country left behind and why it's not going back.
