APEC delivers humiliating farewell for Biden As APEC host, Peru’s president relegated Biden to the back row for the customary “family photo” at last week’s summit. The snub evoked global schadenfreude that bordered on elder abuse. I doubt any president has ever faced such humiliation on the world stage. Mind you, Trump is roughly the… Read more.

Macron fending off National Rally offers a lifeline for Biden Sunday’s French election results had the world all atwitter. Polls had predicted Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally would win an “absolute majority.” That would’ve humiliated President Macron’s centrist alliance and a mishmash of leftist parties. Instead, the New Popular Front, a rebranded leftist coalition,… Read more.
Presidents causing national anxiety The world spent much of Trump’s presidency in suspended anxiety over his unhinged tweets. That’s why Biden’s presidency provided such a collective sigh of relief.
