Leave it to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to provide comic relief in this serious time. The group posted on X, formerly Twitter, an image of a model train emblazoned with the words “BIDEN express” and circling what is likely a Christmas tree. 

The tweet read, “All aboard the Biden Express.”

If there’s anything Americans are running away from in droves, it’s a train conducted by the Democratic president. His fingerprints are all over the last three years, and the results are not something any reasonable person wants to climb on board with.

There’s inflation that robbed an entire generation of their ability to own a home and start a family on firm financial footing. Then there’s the open border that welcomed unvetted military-aged males from every far-flung corner of the globe.

For good measure, throw in increased global instability and rampant violent crime under Biden’s watch. Is it any wonder that the Biden Express derailed?

As predictable as the sunrise, social media users showered the ill-conceived DNC posting with derision. One described the temptation to mock such a ridiculous image as “low hanging fruit.” It’s almost too easy.

Some shared images of flaming locomotives or of a train plunging over a cliff and crashing into the ground below. One described the express as a “trainwreck.”

A tweet read, “This is an apt analogy for the current administration. They are going nowhere while circling a once thriving tree that has been killed for their amusement.”

And the hits just kept on coming.

Someone wrote, “The Biden express: a toy train running in circles around a rotting tree.” Another jester posted, “Doing my duty as a fighter in the conservative movement to add a train wreck gif to this tweet.”

Poll after poll proves even Democrats are far from satisfied with their party’s leader. Already 81 and the oldest president in U.S. history, Biden would be 86 when he left office after a second term if he is reelected. And that is far from certain.

More surveys show former President Donald Trump pulling ahead of the incumbent as we close in on election year. While Democrats are certainly not enamored with Biden, Republicans appear to be circling the wagons around the 45th president.

Most want to see a return to the economic prosperity and relative stability of the Trump White House years. What few want is another ride on the Biden Express.
