Joe Biden isn’t the next FDR, he’s the next Jimmy Carter

When he first took office, President Joe Biden reportedly told his advisers he wants to be the next Franklin D. Roosevelt. But less than a year into his presidency, with an economic crisis mounting and a foreign policy humiliation stinging, it is clear Biden is just like Jimmy Carter, but worse.

The steady creep of inflation during Biden’s first several months in office has already reminded many of the Carter years. But the disaster in Afghanistan, the rushed, chaotic withdrawal and the Taliban’s subsequent takeover, has solidified the similarity between the two administrations.
