US President Joe Biden boards Marine One on the Ellipse on April 24, 2021 in Washington, DC. — Getty Images via AFPWASHINGTON, April 25 — The daily White House melodrama of the Trump era is history, but there has been nothing quiet about Joe Biden’s 100 days rush to transform the country he inherited.

It’s a performance that according to the latest Pew poll wins Biden a 59 per cent approval rating — well above anything Trump ever scored.Biden vowed to “heal” America and with a Covid vaccine program that last week recorded its 200th million shot, he’s fulfilling the promise literally. Next? That would be the American Families Plan, costing at least another US$1 trillion, to fund child care and education.

And on Saturday he broke decades of US equivocation by openly recognizing the mass killing of Armenians a century ago as genocide — a categorization that infuriates Turkey.Perhaps more than anything, Biden was hired by exhausted voters to make America normal again. Or even boring.Gone is rule-by-tweet. Gone is the swearing during presidential speeches. Gone is the daily insulting of the media or belittling of critics. Gone are the cult-of-personality style rallies.

And continued threat from the coronavirus means Biden will only be addressing a thinned out crowd, far from the high-energy gathering that usually greets presidents on the big occasion. The political minefields start with the out-of-control situation on the Mexican border, where Biden’s rhetoric about bringing humanity to the immigration process is colliding with chaotic reality.
