Tom Nichols on Biden’s “Boring” Presidency and a Narcissistic Nation

After four years of President Trump lobbing red meat to his base nearly every day, President Joe Biden’s first 100 days in office have been refreshingly “boring.” He’s fired off zero early-morning Twitter rants and picked no fights with professional sport teams nor Mika Brzezinski. That’s not to say, however, that he hasn’t been busy. Since January 20th, Biden has issued more executive orders than any president since FDR, 40 of them by mid-April. His administration has already blown through their (admittedly low bar) goal of 100 million vaccinations in 100 days, topping 200 million. He’s also gotten a record $1.9 trillion stimulus deal through Congress and announced a complete troop withdrawal from Afghanistan by 9/11/21. According to international relations expert and Atlantic contributor, Tom Nichols, that’s exactly the kind of “boring” America needs right now. Especially at a time when the nation is going through what he calls a “narcissism pandemic.” Nichols joins Ian Bremmer for a conversation on the GZERO World podcast.
