Over the four years President Joe Biden has spent in the Oval Office, Americans have gotten used to the original reason for his remarks and actions morphing over the hours and days after he says and does them–often with a revised White House transcript of a speech or a word salad of incoherence attempting to explain everything away from Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

Originally, the reason Biden’s staffers gave for the trip (which was scrapped later; I’m getting to that) was that Pres. Biden and the Pontiff would discuss world peace; then reports claimed Biden was going for more personal reasons: to seek solace and “relief.” As Nick asked, relief for what?

As Arama pointed out in the conclusion, the explanations just do not gel. Why does a man who claims he is a great guy/has nothing to be pardoned for need solace from the Pope?

As recently as Wednesday morning, the trip was still on the schedule, with Biden and his wife set to leave immediately after late President Jimmy Carter’ funeral in D.C. for Rome. But as RedState’s Susie Moore shared in a follow-up, it was scrapped completely.

He was scheduled to leave for Rome, Italy, following Carter’s funeral but has now canceled that trip, purportedly due to the ongoing wildfires in L.A.
