Polls consistently show Biden\u2019s approval numbers hovering at or below a dismal 40% since last summer, so there was no hiding the smell of rot.<\/p>\n<p>Yet now we know, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/white-house\/biden-white-house-adrift-rcna30121\">according to NBC<\/a>, that Biden is alternately frustrated, annoyed, rattled and unhappy. The network says he is \u201cmystified\u201d over the poll numbers and quotes an unnamed source who says, \u201cHe\u2019s now lower than Trump, and he\u2019s really twisted about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The overarching theme is that the president feels himself to be a victim of circumstances, friends and opponents. He believes he doesn\u2019t get enough credit for what he views as accomplishments, Republicans don\u2019t get enough blame for his failures and fellow Democrats don\u2019t go on television enough to defend him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He sounds like a lonely man. And a very confused one.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s no Washington rookie and you would think that somewhere in his nearly 50 years in government he would have realized that no president has succeeded by whining and feeling sorry for himself.

In fact, one of the striking features of Biden\u2019s chaotic term is how he seems surprised by long-established rules of power.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Inflation is raging at gas stations and supermarkets, meaning real wages are falling, but Biden has no answer other than to blame Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. He was shocked at the shortage of baby formula, and his first response was telling: that only a mind reader could see it coming.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>See, don\u2019t blame me.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s opened the southern border and the flow of illegal crossers has turned into a river, but it\u2019s not his fault.<\/p>\n<p>That he thinks his answers are satisfying, and that the public should not hold him responsible for the nation\u2019s problems, is perhaps the biggest shock of all.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To say he\u2019s no Harry Truman is an understatement. With Biden there, the buck never stops at the Oval Office.<\/p>\n<p>One of the consistent earmarks of a successful president is the ability to make the country feel good about itself. Biden doesn\u2019t even try. Instead, he has talked America down repeatedly by harping on \u201csystemic racism\u201d while presiding over widespread surges in crime and breakdowns in civic order.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The vast majority of people believe the country is on the wrong track, yet he\u2019s mystified by his poll numbers. It turns out there\u2019s an incoherence not just to what he says but also to his grasp of reality.<\/p>\n<p>Taking office, Biden had one good idea \u2014 be a uniter. It lasted as long as his inaugural speech, but he is now surprised Republicans won\u2019t give him what he wants in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Even that reaction is curious because his biggest problem is that he can\u2019t get all 50 Senate Dems to support his most sweeping pieces of legislation. Why should Republicans give him a win if his own party won\u2019t?<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s whining about the staff cleaning up his mistakes is also bizarre. As I wrote Sunday, his loose talk about \u201cmilitarily\u201d defending Taiwan and wanting regime change in Russia raises the specter that we could be stumbling into World War III.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/USA-PROTEST_.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"A protester holds a sign supporting Black students as educators and supporters hold a rally to push back against the Newberg School Board's ban on educators displaying images or symbols that may be considered political or controversial, including LGBTQIA or Black Lives Matter symbols, in Newberg, Oregon, U.S. September 28, 2021.  \" class=\"wp-image-22482549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/USA-PROTEST_.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/USA-PROTEST_.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/USA-PROTEST_.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/USA-PROTEST_.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Biden has repeatedly said he wants to work against systemic racism.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">REUTERS\/Lindsey Wasson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Instead of complaining, he should be grateful the staff is smart enough to set the record straight about what is and what isn\u2019t American policy, lest our allies and adversaries be left guessing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>NBC predicts a staff rush to the exits, with chief of staff Ron Klain among those likely to leave.
