Washington, D.C. — In a scene that left even the most seasoned White House reporters speechless, President Joe Biden welcomed President-elect Donald Trump—yes, the very man Biden had repeatedly likened to “the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler”—back to the White House in a ceremonial show of unity. The two men, once bitter political rivals, shook hands, laughed together, and reportedly discussed a “smooth transition of power,” as if years of “Hitler” comparisons had simply been part of some peculiar campaign hazing ritual.
The handshake ceremony, which reportedly lasted 13 full seconds, marked the start of a peaceful transition of power to the very man Biden had spent the last four years calling “a fascist menace,” “the leader of America’s Fourth Reich,” and “the biggest threat to democracy since… well, Hitler.” As Biden clasped Trump’s hand, he chuckled, “Welcome back, Mr. President! Let bygones be bygones, am I right?”
Sources close to the scene reported that Biden had even arranged a spread of his favorite ice cream for Trump, who grinned and happily accepted it, remarking, “It’s good to know that even ‘Hitler’ can get a sweet treat every now and then.”
In the surreal moments that followed, Biden promised Trump all the accommodations he would need to settle back into office, putting a cozy spin on what had once been portrayed as an epic battle for the soul of the nation.
The press corps collectively held its breath, no doubt marveling at Biden’s newfound amnesia. After all, this was the same Joe Biden who’d spent four years claiming Trump was a “grave threat to democracy,” “the next fascist leader,” and “the kind of guy you wouldn’t let run a lemonade stand.” Yesterday, he was public enemy number one; today, Biden was practically rolling out the red carpet.
The Biden Pivot
The spectacle was not lost on observers, who pointed out the obvious: Biden’s willingness to smile, shake hands, and seemingly forget the “Hitler” comments exposed a strategic whiplash that left America’s irony meter in pieces. The entire event seemed designed to make the nation wonder, “Wait, so was the ‘Hitler’ thing… a PR move?”
“It was a fascinating pivot,” one pundit remarked. “Four years of ‘This man will destroy democracy,’ only to conclude with, ‘Hey, here’s your office key, and also the complimentary nuclear codes.’ If this isn’t political theater, I don’t know what is.”
The Harris Pivot
Harris’s absence—and her carefully worded statement—only deepened the comedy. The Vice President, who had spent months branding Trump as a “threat to democracy,” now seemed to have a sudden change of heart, offering Trump a polite “congratulations” from a safe distance, as though she hadn’t been calling him a tyrant on the campaign trail just last week.
When asked by reporters if she had any lingering concerns about handing over power to a “fascist,” she just smiled serenely and said, “Well, that was campaign season. Now, it’s… you know, regular season.”
Was This Just a Strategic Sham?
Critics couldn’t help but point out the glaring hypocrisy of the event. After four years of painting Trump as the embodiment of all things evil, Biden and Harris now appeared to be rolling out the red carpet for him—complete with smiles and handshakes. Commentators from all sides suggested this turnabout laid bare the real strategy: The whole “Hitler” shtick was simply a dramatic campaign maneuver to secure votes, not a deeply held conviction.
“If they truly believed Trump was ‘worse than Hitler,’ as Biden once suggested, you wouldn’t see them graciously handing him the nuclear codes,” remarked one political analyst. “It’s like the villain in a movie deciding halfway through that, actually, they were just kidding.”
As Biden and Trump laughed together in the Oval Office, it was hard to ignore the reality: this wasn’t a “peaceful transfer of power" It was a "peaceful transfer of narrative," in which Biden smoothly abandoned his fiery rhetoric and swapped it for a friendly handshake.
The Final Farce: Biden Signs Off with a Smile
Biden wrapped up the press conference with a wink, saying, “Well, sometimes you call a guy ‘Hitler,’ and sometimes you realize he’s just your friendly neighborhood president-elect.”
As Biden exited with a carefree wave, the nation was left to ponder the apparent transformation of “Adolf Hitler” into “Just Another Guy Moving In.” And with Harris conspicuously watching from the sidelines, it became clear that, in Washington, calling someone “Hitler” is just another item on the to-do list—right between ordering coffee and finding the best angle for the cameras.
Disclaimer:
In the world of political campaigns, mudslinging has become almost expected. However, there is a crucial line between sharp political critique and the outright defamation of someone’s character. When comparisons, like those made between Donald Trump and Hitler or the unfounded attacks on others, such as, Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh, they cross the line. Not only damaging a person's reputation — but eroding public trust, as well.
Let this serve as a reminder that deliberately destroying a person’s character for the sake of votes is not only unethical but should carry the weight of accountability, including potential defamation lawsuits. Political discourse can be vigorous without sacrificing honesty and respect.
