It’s hard for me to consider a successful propaganda campaign as ironic. The word you’re looking for is either hypocritical or malicious.

From the outside they both come across as incompetent and senile and it's hard to believe those are really the people at the top.

It doesn't really matter if Biden was a drooling vegetable, if his appointments were competent at doing their jobs.

These guys are, sadly competent at... Well, a few things, but none of them include 'good governance'.
