America first: Trump was all talk -- Biden is actually doing it
Former President Donald Trump talked about putting America first; President Joe Biden is doing it.
Biden's speech at the United Nations on Tuesday reflected the concerns and vision of a president asserting U.S. leadership in a world desperately in need of it. The contrast to his predecessor was clear. Gone was schoolyard bullying and adolescent name-calling. In its place was an appeal for partnership and shared responsibility. The applause at the end of the president's speech was the sound of relief.
Admittedly, the bar was dreadfully low. World leaders do not inspire much confidence these days, and recent events have tarnished Biden's own image in the eyes of many. Nevertheless, he filled his role well and took an important step toward reestablishing the United States as what former Secretary of State Madeline Albright termed the world's "indispensable nation" and in doing it set an agenda worth pursuing.
The individual themes Biden raised in New York were well known to the delegates and might as easily have been background noise. Everyone knew them by heart and likely shared the same diplomatic talking points. Biden himself was a familiar figure on the international stage and did not step out of character. In most ways, the event was more symbolic than substantive, except that it was a welcome return to normalcy. The speech's most important theme, what members of the General Assembly listened to most carefully and evaluated against their own expectations, was Biden's embrace of "relentless diplomacy.
