Also the president immediately expressing disappointment on Twitter at the jury's decision... what a slap in the face to due process

I don't think that's quite true. Biden's initial comment was "Look, I stand by what the jury has concluded," he said. "The jury system works, and we have to abide by it."

His handlers went on to later change the narrative.

If you've followed politics for more than the last 5 years, it's very weird having an entire administration constantly running around contradicting whatever comes out of the President's mouth.

"Handlers" is quite the term.

Do we believe the President or not? If we can't believe what they say and other people have to speak and do for them, why don't we elect one of those people? instead?

I think you are right actually. At the time though I don't think I ever saw that initial statement. I seem to remember only seeing stories about the second statement - Biden being "concerned and angry" about the verdict!
