Ossoff: I don’t think many people are tuning in because he’s lost it. But more importantly, what we’re seeing is how destabilized he is by his global humiliation in the Middle East, which he cannot deny or lie away. He has cemented his place in history in disgrace.

Obama survived assassination plots. Biden faced multiple threats. Neither spent months demanding sympathy, selling merchandise, fundraising off fear, or building vanity projects. They relied on security professionals and kept governing. That’s what leadership looks like.
christinalorey
Barack Obama was targeted in 11 assassination attempts during his two terms.
Biden had at least two attempts against him during his time as a presidential candidate and later as president.
We just don't remember any of them because they were professionally handled through proper channels and they aren't whiny little weenies.
