Reporters gathered outside his palatial beach house to ask Mr. Biden if he had anything to
say about the rising death toll from wildfires in Hawaii. Staring somewhat blankly, Mr. Biden responded: “No. No comment.” Then he grinned and climbed into the back seat of his Secret Service Suburban. It is entirely possible that Mr. Biden did not hear the question or did not understand the question. Certainly, no president would intend to so cavalierly dismiss the desperate suffering of so many Americans and then add a smile.
