President Biden's recent social media post claiming he keeps his promises and doesn't abandon others sparked a wave of criticism, as critics pointed to numerous instances of his alleged failures in this regard.

Radio host Larry O'Connor urged Biden to resign, accusing him of aiding terrorists and undermining America's ally in the region.

Rep. Mike Lawler accused the president of being "horrifically out of touch" with the struggles of Americans facing hostages, economic hardships, and other challenges.
