Former President Biden’s inner circle secretly ran the White House while hiding his mental decline, even rationalizing “undemocratic” measures to keep him in power, according to explosive revelations from a new book.
Key Takeaways
- Biden’s unelected aides reportedly engaged in “undemocratic things” to conceal his mental deterioration, effectively running the White House while he was just a figurehead.
- The inner circle, dubbed the “Politburo,” justified their actions by viewing President Trump as an “existential threat” to democracy.
- Key figures in this shadow government included Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti, Bruce Reed, Jill Biden, and Hunter Biden.
- An aide reportedly admitted Biden “just had to win and then could disappear” while staffers managed presidential duties.
- The revelations come from “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again” by Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper.
The Shadow Government Behind Biden
A shocking new exposé has revealed the extent to which former President Biden’s presidency was managed by unelected, non-Senate-confirmed aides who deliberately concealed his cognitive decline from the American public. The bombshell book “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again” by Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper details how Biden’s inner circle, referred to as the “Politburo,” became the true decision-makers in the White House as Biden’s mental acuity deteriorated. This small group, which included Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti, Bruce Reed, Jill Biden, and Hunter Biden, operated behind the scenes while presenting a facade of presidential competence.
“Biden’s team of unelected staffers felt justified in ‘picking up the slack’ for the faltering commander in chief and shielding him from the public because they viewed President Trump as an ‘existential threat’ to democracy,” Stated Alex Thompson.
Undemocratic Measures Justified by Fear
Perhaps most disturbing in these revelations is how Biden’s aides openly acknowledged and rationalized their undemocratic actions. Their justification centered on a shared belief that President Trump represented such a danger to America that any means necessary to prevent his return to office were acceptable. This mindset created a dangerous precedent where unelected officials made critical decisions affecting national policy and security while deliberately misleading voters about who was actually in charge. The aides’ willingness to subvert democratic norms while claiming to protect democracy demonstrates a troubling contradiction at the heart of the Biden administration.
The Election Strategy: Win and Disappear
One of the most damning revelations from the book describes the cynical strategy employed by Biden’s team. According to Thompson, an anonymous aide admitted that Biden “just had to win and then could disappear” while his staff managed presidential duties behind the scenes. This calculated deception of the American electorate raises serious constitutional questions about who was truly running the executive branch of government. The plan essentially amounted to an admission that voters were not electing Biden for his leadership abilities, but rather for the unelected staff who would govern in his place while keeping his decline hidden from public view.
“Alec Schemmel, co-author of a new exposé on former President Joe Biden, revealed on Fox News Sunday that top aides rationalized taking ‘undemocratic’ actions to conceal the then president’s cognitive decline, fearing that transparency would benefit Donald Trump,” Stated Alec Schemmel.
Democratic Party Complicity
The cover-up extended beyond Biden’s immediate circle to include broader Democratic Party complicity. According to reporting, many Democratic Party members noticed moments when Biden appeared “out of it” but chose to remain silent. They calculated that revealing his condition would not change his determination to remain in office and would only benefit President Trump. This collective decision to prioritize partisan advantage over transparency about the president’s fitness for office represents a significant breach of public trust. The American people have a right to know whether the person they elected as president is capable of fulfilling the duties of the office.
A Constitutional Crisis Hidden in Plain Sight
These revelations amount to nothing less than a constitutional crisis that occurred without the American public’s knowledge. The 25th Amendment exists precisely to address situations where a president becomes unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Instead of invoking these constitutional provisions, Biden’s inner circle chose to circumvent them by creating a shadow presidency. This deliberate subversion of proper constitutional processes, justified by an allegedly greater threat to democracy, ironically undermined the very democratic principles they claimed to be protecting. President Trump’s return to office came not a moment too soon to restore proper constitutional governance.
