Why would an announcement of such magnitude from Biden come out on X?? LBJ did it on NATIONAL TV. Which is what Biden should have done. Is the statement really from him?? How do we know who issued this statement???

Leaders should post directly, not hand the role to intermediaries. That is what works best.

Mistakes will be made, but that’s what proves it’s real. People want authenticity. https://t.co/sd8147XOxz
