Do you ever get a text that starts like this? “Hi, (Craig). Joe Biden here, asking you for your support in the upcoming election….”
Anyone’s first thought would be that the president of the United States is most definitely not sending out text messages, and that’s a good thing, considering that his time would be better spent on arenas related to world peace, managing Russia’s unprovoked attack on Eastern Europe, growing the job market, controlling inflation, and moving the nation forward in climate change mitigation.
Similarly, the advertisement shown above was not written by Biden, but the reason I’m confident in that is a different one: it invokes the grammatical prowess of perhaps a 7th grade kid who’s struggling with English.
“Myself” is a reflexive pronoun, and is not a substitute for the word “I,” which is the subjective first person singular pronoun. Also, if there is more than one subject of the sentence, as is the case here, “I” belongs as the last one.

Trump’s Only Real Talents: Attracting Attention and Controlling Morally Weak People
Trump is not an idiot. His IQ may not be too high, but he’s smart enough to know how to conduct himself in his lifelong quest to amass more wealth and power at the expense of everyone else on Earth.
Trump’s Only Real Talents: Attracting Attention and Controlling Morally Weak People
At left we see the moral bankruptcy that guides our civilization.
I recall many years ago, when Musk was becoming a “thing,” writing a post to the effect that, “What a terrible shame. We really didn’t need just one more super-rich asshole on this beleaguered planet.”
It’s easy to understand how Trump has great appeal to the hateful idiots and the amoral rich.
It’s much harder to see how it’s possible that a huge number of eligible voters are uninvolved in guiding the future of the United States, with many of them saying that “both sides are the same.”
