President-elect Biden would bristle at the thought, but I’ll express it anyway.

We seem to have two presidents at once while Biden begins the transition into the world’s most powerful office.

Sure, the current president is still doing things that only presidents can do. Such as grant an unconditional pardon to an admitted felon, someone who lied to the FBI and to the vice president about the contacts he had with Russian goons who attacked our electoral system.

Meanwhile, the president-in-waiting delivered a heartfelt Thanksgiving message intended to lift our spirits in the wake of a crippling and vicious pandemic. The current president, Donald Trump, is too busy arguing that Biden “stole” an election that Trump says he won “handily.”

Yes, it is true we only have one president at a time. In a strange sort of way, though, we are seeing a symbolic presidency overshadowing the real thing.

Amazing, yes?
