It’s no secret that Joe Biden’s presidency felt like a badly scripted reality show where the main character had no clue what was going on. Turns out, that wasn’t too far from the truth. Thanks to some stellar investigative reporting by Jason Rantz, we now have a clearer picture of just who was actually calling the shots in the Biden White House – and, spoiler alert, it sure wasn’t Joe.
From the moment Biden shuffled into the Oval Office, it was obvious to anyone paying attention that he wasn’t the one steering the ship. Whether it was his blank stares, bizarre gaffes, or the infamous cue cards reminding him to ‘sit down’ and ‘speak,’ it was painfully clear that someone – or a whole team of someones – had their hands on the wheel.
Barack Obama
Let’s start with the usual suspect: Barack Obama. Remember when he joked about wanting a third term where he could pull the strings behind the scenes? Well, joke’s on us because it looks like that’s exactly what happened. The Biden administration became a rerun of Obama’s policies, with the same cast of characters running the show while Joe just stood there and signed whatever was put in front of him – sometimes without even knowing what it was. Mike Johnson’s bombshell revelation that Biden had no idea he halted liquefied natural gas exports is just the tip of the iceberg.
Jill Biden
Then there’s First Lady Jill Biden, or as some might call her, ‘The Real President.’ From deciding whether Joe should run in the first place to reportedly running Cabinet meetings and posing in the president’s chair on Air Force One, Jill seemed to be more involved than any first lady in recent memory. Whether it was out of love or a lust for power, she was there to make sure the illusion of a functioning presidency continued.
Jeff Zients
And let’s not forget Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, the so-called ‘fixer,’ who seemed to be the guy really keeping the gears turning behind the scenes. With a disengaged president, Zients handled everything from managing staff to pushing Biden’s radical green agenda. Meanwhile, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan was busy running foreign policy with the swagger of someone who didn’t need to check with the boss – because he didn’t.

Final Thoughts
Joe Biden’s presidency was a masterclass in puppet government, with a revolving cast of handlers, advisors, and activists pulling the strings while he played the part of ‘Leader of the Free World.’ Thanks to Jason Rantz’s stellar investigative reporting, we now know just how much of a figurehead Biden really was. The good news? We’re finally moving forward with a president who’s actually in charge.
Who do you think was really making the decisions over the last 4 years?
