At midday on Monday, Washington time, Joe Biden will be put out of his misery. Not a moment too soon, for America or the rest of the free world.
The unvarnished truth is that Sleepy Uncle Joe was unfit for the highest office from day one, as all but his most cynical enablers have been forced to admit.
His valedictory address to the American people on Wednesday night was the usual incoherent jumble of self-aggrandisement and bitterness.
Yet as recently as last June, Biden, his wife Jill, the Democratic Party elite and their cheerleaders in what the late Right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh called the 'drive-by' mainstream media, were insisting he was the only man capable of leading the US for the next four years.
That was the night he imploded in plain sight during a televised candidates' debate with Donald Trump. As I wrote at the time, from the moment Biden wandered onstage and waved to a non-existent studio audience it was frighteningly apparent that he was away with the fairies. The only surprise was that anyone was in the slightest bit surprised.
If the Democrats are now in despair about the second coming of Trump they should have thought about that before they decided to run a dribbling basket case for a second term. When they belatedly dumped him they were lumbered with the unelectable Kamala Harris. From Lord Gaga to Lady Gaga.
US President Joe Biden delivers his farewell address on Wednesday. It was an incoherent jumble, says Richard Littlejohn
A few short months after Biden moved into the White House, he was filmed wandering off into the shrubbery after failing to find his way from his helicopter to the Oval Office. Never mind not being able to walk and chew gum at the same time, he could barely put one foot in front of the other without falling flat on his face.
Time and again he was seen stumbling up and down airplane steps, falling off a bike, tumbling off stage and suffering brain-freeze during speeches and Press conferences.
All of this was known in advance of him running for the Presidency first time round. After observing Biden on the campaign trail in 2019, former White House doctor Ronny Jackson - who had served as private proxies coupon physician to Barack Obama and George W Bush - concluded: 'I am concerned he does not have the mental capacity, the cognitive ability, to serve as Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.'
When Biden was investigated for hoarding classified documents at his Delaware home - the same 'crime' which justified a military-style FBI raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida - the special prosecutor who interviewed him decided there was no point in bringing charges because any jury would find him incompetent to stand trial.
The headline on this column read: 'If Biden's mentally unfit to stand trial, he's mentally unfit to be President.'
Never was that more apparent than during the shameful scuttle from Afghanistan, when Biden retreated to his basement and wasn't seen in public for six days. The only photograph showed him hunkered down at his Camp David rural retreat, staring at an array of giant TV screens. He kept pressing the remote control, hoping for a different result, like the simpleton Chauncey Gardiner, who rises to become a presidential adviser in the Peter Sellers movie Being There.
The humiliating Afghan withdrawal was the defining moment, the nadir, of his Presidency. It signalled to tyrants like Vladimir Putin and the ayatollahs in Iran that America was no longer prepared to act as the world's policeman. The world became a more dangerous place the day the last US plane lifted off.
The chaotic scenes at Kabul airport evoked memories of the last helicopter to take off from the roof of the American embassy in Saigon when the US pulled out of Vietnam in April 1975. For the second time in half a century, the world's once undisputed military superpower was routed by a ramshackle army of irregulars.
When Trump argues that neither the invasion of Ukraine nor the October 7 Hamas pogrom would have happened had he been President, he's bang on the money
(And 'Irish Joe' was no friend of this country either. He didn't even have the decency to consult the British military before pulling out, despite the fact that we'd been loyally riding shotgun from the beginning.)
Biden's weakness encouraged Putin to invade Ukraine and Iran to let loose its terrorist proxies against Israel. China, too, was emboldened to advance plans to attack Taiwan.

On Wednesday night, Biden tried to claim credit for the pending ceasefire in Gaza, but the world knows it was primarily down to the intervention of Trump, who warned that unless the hostages were released before his inauguration there would be 'hell to pay'.
On the domestic front, Biden turned America from a net-exporter of energy to once again dependent on foreign imports. He prolonged lockdown and perpetuated the fiction that the Covid virus did not originate in a Chinese laboratory.
He halted the construction of Trump's wall on the southern border and allowed anywhere between seven and 11 million illegal immigrants - including rapists, murderers and drug cartel members - into America.
Biden - or at least, his puppet-masters - also decided to weaponise the justice system to pursue Trump through the courts with a series of, er, trumped-up, politically-motivated indictments designed to throw him in jail and stop him running for President.
He must now hope that the incoming President doesn't retaliate in kind. For years, there have been allegations of corruption against what Trump calls 'The Biden Crime Family'.
Before Christmas, Biden pardoned his degenerate son Hunter, who was facing prison time for gun and drug crimes - despite repeatedly denying that he had any such intention.
As I wrote then, the suspicion is that Joe was not just pardoning his son, he was also protecting himself from possible future prosecution over allegations that the Biden family had received $17 million in fees from overseas corporations, including a Ukrainian energy company which was paying Hunter $1 million a year.
I covered all this in a Saturday essay for the Mail. It was also reported that Hunter leveraged his father's then position as Vice-President to force through a lucrative business deal with a Chinese conglomerate.

In 2017, an email from Hunter about the Chinese deal stated that 10 per cent was for the 'Big Guy'. Whistleblowers say the Big Guy was Joe Biden. That email was recovered from a laptop abandoned by Hunter at a Delaware repair shop, along with another to his sister complaining that he was expected to hand over half his income to his father.
Biden has always traded on his working-class image. When he became Veep in 2009, he claimed to have a net worth of just $30,000. As he prepares to leave office, his wealth is estimated at anything up to $40 million. It must have come from somewhere.
That hard drive also contained a mine of explosive material and featured photographs of Hunter taking crack cocaine and consorting with prostitutes.
At the behest of the White House and the Democrat machine, the story was covered up by the same mainstream media which maintained Biden was still playing with a full deck. The FBI refused to admit that the laptop belonged to Hunter Biden and insisted falsely it was part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
With a Trump appointee now nailed on for the Justice Department, all bets are off.
A couple of years ago, I joked that Joe Biden's best chance of staying out of jail would be to turn up at court in a bathrobe, pretending to have no idea where he was, like Tony's Uncle Junior in The Sopranos.
Don't be surprised, with his shambolic Presidency ending in ignominy if he appears at Trump's inauguration on Monday wearing a tartan dressing gown and looking as if he has no idea where he is, which he probably won't have.
That's always assuming he can make the steps without falling over.
Nigel Farage will be there but, as Andrew Pierce reports, our new man in Washington, ‘Lord' Mandelson, has sadly not been invited to Monday's inauguration. Instead, Britain will be represented at the swearing-in by our outgoing ambassador Karen Pierce (no relation). Still, he could always try sneaking in by pretending to be one of the Village People, who are performing at the inaugural ball. After all, he's already got the hard hat and the dance moves. Y-MCA!
