Biden’s gamble: The cover-up, the collapse, the consequences

A ‘Desperate Bet’ That Backfired

According to the publisher’s press release, the book alleges that Biden, his family, and his senior aides were convinced he was the only viable candidate to defeat Donald Trump. This belief led them to obscure the full extent of his cognitive deterioration from the public, allies, and even themselves. Random House describes Biden’s decision to run as “shockingly narcissistic, self-delusional, and reckless.”

  What you will learn makes President Biden’s decision to run for re-election seem shockingly narcissistic, self-delusional, and reckless – a desperate bet that went bust – and part of a larger act of extended public deception that has few precedents.

The publisher draws a striking parallel to Greek tragedy:

  In Greek tragedy, the protagonist’s effort to avoid his fate is what seals his fate. In 2024, American politics became a Greek tragedy.

Biden launched his 2020 campaign to prevent Trump’s return. However, his and his team’s refusal to acknowledge his declining health instead secured it.

  At his debate with Trump on June 27, 2024, the consequences of that deception were exposed to the world. It was shocking and upsetting.
