The CBS program "60 Minutes" featured an interview with President Biden Sunday evening just to provide a break from the fun of watching football, and issues in the Middle East obviously were at the forefront:
Biden’s message to Iran:

“Don’t.”

“Would you support Israeli occupation or Gaza at this point?”

BIDEN: “I think it’d be a big mistake.” pic.twitter.com/UOh38v1h4u
But at one point the attention turned to next November's presidential election, and unsurprisingly there was no mention of "Bidenomics" or any domestic policy. Scott Pelley asked Biden if he's sure he wants to run again.
Biden's answer sounded like some kind of clumsy Kamala/Obama-esque word salad:
"Are you sure that you want to run again?"

Biden says yes because he thinks he'll achieve world peace. He does not mention the American people. pic.twitter.com/huxKVjXaPK
It's almost as if Biden wasn't ready to tackle that question:

Joe Biden with what feels like the longest pause in TV interview history:

The answer we heard from Biden about why he should be re-elected was "so I can make everything even worse."
JUST IN: Biden says he wants to run again to achieve world peace, unite the Middle East, unite Europe, and put Putin in his place to stop causing trouble. WATCH pic.twitter.com/zazNNaFviQ

Not a mention of the need to re-elect him so we can continue with "Bidenomics" because it's been such a gift to average Americans? Shocker.
World Peace! I'm dying here. 😂😂😂 Too funny.

Not to be Johnny Raincloud, but “world peace” hasn’t exactly been the trajectory under his bumbling regime. https://t.co/KWjGq4BHnd

Right? Things weren't all that bad until the last three years. No mean tweets though! Well, not THAT many.
World peace is nice but I think most of America would settle for $2 gasoline, home loan interest rates under 4%, and the ability to get out of the grocery store without spending $200. https://t.co/0QDHrgbmWT

That's the "Bidenomics" Joe would like everybody to vote for again next year.
Everything Biden says he wants to accomplish by running again — stabilizing the Middle East, uniting Europe, deterring Putin — was already done when he came into office, thanks to President Trump.

Biden’s policies and weakness ruined it all. pic.twitter.com/Qi4G13JMAP
This answer confirms Biden has zero idea what is happening in the world and only knows what his aides tell him. https://t.co/THPAULv3l2

For all we know Biden might actually believe the economy is doing just great. And it probably is for "The Big Guy," but not for many others.
