‘The Five’ Hosts Blast Biden for Leaving Trump a Nation and World in Turmoil
Fox News’s The Five devoted a recent segment to criticizing President Joe Biden, arguing that his policies and decisions have set the stage for President-elect Donald Trump to inherit a nation — and world — mired in turmoil.
Co-hosts Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters took aim at Biden’s mental acuity and foreign policy record, mocking his appearance at former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral and claiming he squandered opportunities to leave a stronger legacy. Both hosts portrayed Biden as detached and ineffective during crucial moments of his presidency.
The panel also accused Biden of fueling economic instability at home. Rising gas prices, they argued, were made worse by his administration’s last-minute sanctions on Russia, which they said undermined energy security while failing to deter Moscow’s aggression.
Adding to their critique, the hosts pointed to Biden’s decision to commute the sentence of former judge Michael Conahan — a central figure in the infamous “kids for cash” scandal. They framed the move as another example of questionable judgment that damaged public trust.
The discussion echoed broader conservative arguments that Biden’s tenure has weakened both domestic stability and America’s standing abroad. Panelists suggested that Trump, returning to the White House, will be forced to clean up crises at home and overseas — challenges they believe were worsened, if not created, by Biden’s leadership.
For the hosts of The Five, Biden’s legacy is defined not by accomplishments but by failures that leave the incoming administration with a heavier burden.
