For anyone who wants to criticize Joe Biden for how he did during the presidency, his wife Jill wants you to know that the presidency is a tough job. People who thought he wasn’t up to scratch “didn’t see how hard Joe worked every day,” she told The View during their joint interview Thursday morning, as she and her husband launched their reputational comeback tour. Listen, I don’t think you understand: Jill was in bed at night and Joe was still on the phone! It was nonstop! “That phone could ring at 11 o’clock or at 2 a.m”, because being the president is “a lifestyle”.
Luckily, America is full of people who can’t countenance taking a phone call that late for their job, otherwise that might’ve been received unsympathetically. Of course, while Joe was working 24/7, he was making a $400,000 salary, with a further untaxed expenses allowance of $169,000 for travel and entertainment on top of that. But you wouldn’t accept less than that to take phone calls at bedtime, right? Right?!
