"Celebrating" Joe Biden's First Year

In this excerpt, Piers Morgan sums up Joe Biden's speech "celebrating" his first year as President:

"Dear Joe,
Happy Anniversary.
Can  we get a divorce?
Sorry if this isn’t the most effusive of messages as you celebrate your first year in office as president of the United States.
But I fear it’s exactly what many disillusioned Americans, including some who voted for you, are now thinking.
I don’t like to sugar-coat things, so let me be blunt: You’ve been a disaster.
In fact, it’s hard to think of a more insipid, less inspiring, fiasco-ridden opening 12 months to a presidency.
Nor one that has so spectacularly failed to deliver on the promises made at an inauguration ceremony.
You were going to reunite a bitterly fractured country by ending “the anger and harsh rhetoric,” remember?
You’ve failed. Your enraged, spiteful, Republican-bashing speeches at the start of this year were just as divisive as anything Donald Trump ever spewed.
You were going to 'defeat' COVID, remember?
You’ve failed. More Americans have died from coronavirus on your watch than under President Trump, the Omicron variant is surging out of control all over the country, your testing system has been disastrously slow, and you’ve still only persuaded 63% of US citizens to be vaccinated.
You were going to fix the economy, remember?"
