Paul Getty); investing (“Only buy something that you’d be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for ten years.”—Warren Buffett); success (“The secret of success is to do common things uncommonly well.”—John D. Rockefeller); and leadership (“The buck stops with the guy who signs the checks.”—Rupert Murdoch). In addition are proverbs, quips, and other commentary on all aspects of having a fortune.

Former vice president Joe Biden has said many things throughout his career where he has put his foot in his mouth, flat-out lied or flip-flopped on his votes, made up false stories, plagiarized, and said racist comments. Things have not changed for “Sleepy Joe” since he decided to run for president in 2020. During his run on the 2020 campaign trail, he’s told people at campaign rallies to “vote for someone else” and has called them “lying, dog-faced pony soldiers.” Throughout this book, you can expect to find some of Biden’s most off-the-wall statements that make him the most embarrassing candidate to ever run for president.
