I guarantee there will be no critical comment from the Review-Journal on President Joe Biden’s remarkable and humorous monologue at the White House correspondents dinner on Saturday. If he had stammered, misused a word, etc., the RJ, Michael Ramirez and Fox News would be devouring Mr. Biden like a hobo receiving a ham sandwich. But Mr. Biden had the timing equal to a professional comic. He was self-deprecating and handled the audience perfectly.

Your idol, Donald Trump, never attended these dinners. He was so thin-skinned, he could not handle “insults,” as Mr. Biden did, laughing at Trevor Noah’s “mockery.” The president sure showed aplomb.

Trump thinks winning the election means doing whatever he wants. He and the GOP are purposely exacerbating this, like he always does.

Phil Winter Henderson

Will the United States fall into a totalitarian government that exerts total control, or be a representative democracy that listens to the voices of “we, the people”?
