Voted "somewhat disapprove." Actually, President Biden, so far, has not been that much different from the man who came before him. Verbal gaffes. Partisan divides. No identifiable policy agenda. If anything, Mr. Biden has been more prolific with the Executive Orders than Mr. Trump was - with even the New York Times telling Mr. Biden to slow things down.
Mr. Biden has attempted to portray himself as a more unifying force than Mr. Trump. However, to date, it has not proved to be the case. The most unifying moment being when President Biden received ten moderate Republican Senators at the White House. They all came out speaking of compromise on a COVID bill.
Then - a mere 48 hours later - the President came out with a statement saying that the Republicans were free to sign on to the COVID bill and maybe there would be a agreement on a few secondary points. Translation - Let's compromise. Do it my way.
To be sure, Mr. Trump perhaps would have been less diplomatic. However, under the veneer of cordiality, things under Mr. Biden are not much different from what they were before.
If anything, Mr. Biden's verbal gaffes have been almost as bad as Mr. Trump's had been. Grant having been given less publicity. The best/worst moment being when President Biden, attending a memorial for fallen police officers said, in effect, "Well, they aren't ALL bad."
Even moderate Democrats asked for a "clarification." One being obligingly provided by Jen Psaki, President Biden's equally verbally inept spokesperson. The same Jen Psaki who put her foot in it when she seemed to mock the military - specifically the Space Force.
Beyond that, legislative accomplishments are thin. After the aforementioned "willingness" - please note use of quotation marks - to compromise, the House and Senate passed a budget resolution on a strict party line vote. Grant that this was done in record time - but only to allow the House and Senate to use the "reconciliation" process on the COVID bill in order to - - - - bypass the need for compromise with Congressional Republicans.
Round and round it goes. Mr. Biden seemingly doing his level best to be Donald Trump. Albeit rather than a bombastic President, Mr. Biden has so far come across as a peevish one. (See also Mr. Biden's sniffy indignation when a WH press reporter had the effrontery to ask if the administration might not raise its' targets for COVID vaccinations.)
As to the aforementioned Executive Orders, it was probably not a good idea to sign the first one on inauguration day eliminating the Keystone pipeline. Whatever the merits of the policy - and they are debatable - wiping out 4000 high paying union jobs your first day on the job is not exactly good PR. Even Mr. Trump at his most obtuse was not that tone deaf.
Then there is the matter of contradicting one's own advisers. A Trump specialty, but Mr. Biden is challenging him for the title. See also the head of the CDC saying that it was desirable for children to return to school and that the science was clear on that point.
When asked, President Biden looked down at his feet and mumbled that he would follow the science and CDC guidelines. In effect, he would not take a position - thereby contradicting his brand new CDC directors. Of course, the motive there being less than pristine in that the teacher's unions were significant contributors to Mr. Biden's vacation in his basement, i. e. his campaign.
Put it all together, and while there are slight differences in style, the substance is strikingly similar. The old saw has it, "the more things change, the more they stay the same." So it is with Mr. Biden's ham fisted debut in the WH.

Right or left, the man is an incompetent geriatric who struggles to articulate compound sentences. Surely Yang or Tulsi would have been a much better pick. Biden can be a decent man, but he’s entirely unfit to lead America. It’s an absolute embarrassment to our country in my opinion. I feel second hand awkwardness watching him speak to others. The old adage is that the people get the leader they deserve. This is what happens when you brainwash dumb Americans to not think for themselves. America absolutely deserves this tbh. I think America unfortunately has to hit rock bottom before we actually strive to change. People need to suffer to make a move and be more aware as to who they elect. Keep pushing for more government control and socialism. Keep pushing for censorship on free speech. Keep believing that these people actually care about the causes you want to stand for. Watch it backfire. Then maybe we’ll fight and go back to a place of normality and rational thinking. History tends to repeat itself.

What exactly is there to like about him?
I don't have time to list everything this slow-motion trainwreck that is the Biden Administration is, so I'll just mention a single, apparently lesser-known issue that makes Biden terrible:
Manipulating CDC guidelines for political gain.
In the last year of his Presidency, Trump was slammed constantly for allegedly pressuring the CDC to change its guidelines. This accusation has no basis and no proof was ever been given, but the accusation was made of Trump regardless. Biden HAS pressured the CDC to change its guidelines and the CDC acquiesced on opening schools. Unlike when Trump was accused of this, there is hard evidence to prove these claims. The CDC had school reopening guidelines in place back in September, then on February 12th released new guidelines that were FAR more restrictive and basically said the vast majority of schools must remain closed, a big departure from what they said in September 2020.
This shift in CDC guidelines is perfectly in line with Teachers Unions wish lists, and is timed perfectly with Biden becoming President. -
Not at all. I don't agree with Democratic party in general (not Republicans either). Both are off the rails.
The Biden administration, the Democratic ideology and behaviors are hypocritical and contrary to freedom of choice and personal responsibility.
As a President he can barely string together 2 minutes of coherent thoughts. Used teleprompters and scripted questions. His press secretary basically refuses to answer questions.
He supported riots, assaults, and takeover of our cities. He is pro-censorship so long as it opposing viewpoints. He promotes the very things he claims to be against: racism, hate, inequality, etc. He is for shutting down of the economy furthering the divide between rich and poor. He's firmly anti second amendment and will use powers to circumvent things to force the gun industry out of the market.
He gets away with stuff and the media is fine with it. Straight up lies? No problem. History of plagiarism? Oh that's fine.
That's not even considering the other offender, his VP Kamala Harris.
There's really nothing, generally speaking, to like about this administration any more than the last. -
I do NOT approve of Biden. I do not feel like paying higher taxes. Life is hard enough and I barely get by. Also, the way the government has been working, they do not need nor deserve any of my hard-earned money. Democrats can gloss over things all they want, but at the end of the day, the higher taxes they plan to charge will be passed down to consumers, not the businesses. When taxes increase, the poor who have their lives upended because they must pay (directly or indirectly) extra taxes will feel forced to resort to crime more often to survive. I also do NOT approve of Democrats trying to make it harder for law-abiding citizens to protect themselves with their "gun control" measures. At the end of the day, those "gun control" measures will make it even easier for criminals to prey on the weak. I see this all the time as a law enforcement official. Criminals have blatantly told me they hope to hit Democrat voters as victims because they are less likely to have a gun and therefore foil their plans. Several guys I dealt with in my local jail said they made it a point to only break into the houses of those they saw had signs for Democrat candidates. THIS IS LITERALLY CRIMINALS ADMITTING THEY TARGET DEMOCRATS!. In other words, Democrats make great prey for criminals.

One of my biggest sources of entertainment the past month has been Biden voters posting their L's online. Shock and awe, the guy who was in Washington for 47 years and the only thing of note he has done is the '94 crime bill has backpedaled on every single promise he has made to the far-left!
You're not getting your stimulus check.
You're not getting a moratorium on deportations.
You're not getting your student loans forgiven.
You know what you are going to get though? Ten masks duct-taped to your butthole. Hope you're happy. -
I strongly don't approve of him or his lying "Fweedom" loving partner.. He basically stole his way into office, he barely had a campaign, he told me that if I didn't vote for him I ain't "Black" and said that "Latinos" and "Blacks" don't know how to use the internet or get in line for a vaccine.. 😂😂.. He is lying about the Trump vaccine plan, even though he took the Vaccine in December, and he went executive order crazy even more than FDR, he got us back into the Green New Deal fraud which will surely hurt America, and he took away thousands of jobs just in his first week in office..

If so many people "strongly disagree" with this jerk, how'd he get elected with 80+ million votes?
You can repeat the lie about voter fraud all ya want, but obviously he isn't fit to run a battery operated toothbrush, let alone the entire United States. Democrats lied and cheated to get this fool in office! -
Coming from someone who cannot stand all that is the Democrat criminal cartel including The king of off shore corruption 'Quid Pro Joe' Biden. I believe his family, the Democrat's and the Democrats dictator Xi Jinping of China should be held accountable for elder abuse [to add to the hundreds of other crimes too long to list here that the Democrats have gotten away with over the last several decades] what kind of family props up an elderly man who's obviously in advanced stages of dementia as the puppet of all that is communist who can barely read a script off of a teleprompter and is confused as to where he is half the time? Love Joe or hate Joe its pure abuse

Approve of what, his poorly executed Broadway show “I want to be president some day” funded by Chinese angle investors and communist technology CEOs... No it’s a low budget film with smoking plane engines with bad paint jobs and dented up rental SUVs with slap on presidential magnets. Even netflix direct to dvd gay films have bigger budgets and more believable special effects.

As a third party conservative, I really gave him a chance and Democrats to try and unite us. They talk a good game but their actions prove they have no interest in unity.
Then Biden goes and declares war on the western states economies and liberals cheer him on.
He has already done things so badly, he can never recover. -
Overall, I like Biden. I probably won’t agree with EVERYTHING he does, but I’ll agree with most of what he does. It will take him at least six months just to clean up Trump’s shit, and Trump left a BIG dump. Biden at least treats people with respect, and that goes a long way.

I’m taking a wait and see approach. I don’t think he was a particularly good choice but Trump was an absolute train wreck. Biden will roll out the covid vaccine much more competently than Trump would have. He’s moving to repair diplomatic relationships with our allies. He’ll reassert US leadership in areas that Trump basically abdicated. Beyond that, I just don’t know. He’s already pushing for things I won’t like.

Hey, Joe Biden can bag my groceries any time. His mental illness shouldn't keep him from having meaningful work.

Reality!!! If you are human make ir female young or old white or black. The bottom line is most men dont know women life or reality. We all want to live and survive in harmony if you can't see that then as a group you got serious problems acclimating to the world.

Politicians are politicians I dont know lol. I dont honestly trust any of them. I think politics is a giant sham. I dont know.
I voted slightly approve. Why? Ehhh I dont know. He seems capable as far as politicians go anyways so w/e he fits the standard and the country probably won't go to hell. But maybe that's more a result of the system and how it works rather than himself. - 3.6K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic.
He slammed Trump for "executive orders". Now he's handing them out like peanuts himself. So, I guess he hates himself?
Biden is simply a mouthpiece for the "progressives" who seems to have gotten caught in the tide.
Um, no I do not approve of him. -
I love that 70 men (so far) said strongly agree. It goes to show you, strong men still exist.

He's a bit of a dinkus. I dont like how they are handling their press conferences. they obviously have things that they dont want to address. No other president would have been given this kind of latitude. He should be harassed by the press until then change it

I do not approve of his regime or his military coup.
