Joe Biden’s schedule of post-presidential paid speaking engagements — some with fees of up to $300,000 — has largely unraveled. According to The Daily Beast, all but five of the planned events were canceled. Institutions reportedly pulled out due to fears of backlash or political retaliation from President Donald Trump, who has blamed Biden for many of the nation’s problems.
The cancellations underscore how charged the domestic political climate remains — even for former presidents. While Trump exerts dominance in the public sphere, Biden faces unexpected roadblocks as he struggles to stay relevant.
Biden has attended a handful of events since leaving the White House, including:
- A speech in Chicago with the Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled (Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled).
- A presentation at the National High School Model United Nations.
- Keynote addresses at the National Bar Association Gala and the Society of Human Resource Management Convention.
- An unpaid event at the Harvard Institute of Politics.
As The Daily Beast notes:
After a lifetime of service, Joe Biden’s post-presidential career has fallen off a cliff.
The Biblical verse often quoted as “Pride comes before a fall” is a shortened version of Proverbs 16:18, which reads, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”
Well, Biden, 82, is undoubtedly a very proud man. Perhaps too proud. He has a haughty spirit. And he’s been destroyed.
The destruction wrought on him by Donald Trump is unparalleled in presidential history. Thomas Jefferson was so upset that John Adams didn’t attend his inauguration that he didn’t speak to him for a decade. Outgoing POTUS Andrew Johnson boycotted Ulysses S. Grant’s inauguration because the incoming POTUS refused to share a carriage. But the 47th president has blamed the 46th for everything from the price of eggs to taking America to the brink of World War III.
For his part, Biden insists he could have defeated Trump if he hadn’t been pushed out, but few outside his fiercely protective inner circle seem to believe it.
Once-reliable sources of post-presidential income, such as speaking engagements and book deals, have dried up for the former president — reflecting both waning public interest and the toll of serious health challenges, including aggressive prostate cancer.

The usurper Bxijden is a complete fraud and waste and corrupt and evil. He has no legacy, except for the blood on his hands that his fraudulent regime perpratrated against the American public for four years and how many other years of his bogus career.
Only a complete libtard who thinks a man can get pregnant and does not know what a woman is would pay $300,000 to hear a senile old coot mumble nonsensical strings of words.
Interesting!How can a person get paid to speak when he can’t utter a whole sentence?Biden is puke inducing and evil
