Joe Biden’s latest antics on the world stage have left many scratching their heads and shaking their fists. In a puzzling move, he opted to pardon his son Hunter just before jetting off to Africa, likely in a desperate attempt to dodge questions about his son’s questionable choices. While Biden was away, the controversy surrounding the pardon didn’t magically disappear. Instead, it unfolded further, drawing mockery from even the most established names in liberal media, like Jon Stewart, who has never shied away from taking swipes at the Democrats. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s attempts at defending Biden were about as effective as using a colander to haul water.
Biden’s excursion to Africa took a turn for the bizarre when he was confronted in Angola. His response to questions seemed more suited for a game show contestant than the leader of the free world, with comments that left many wondering what he was talking about. He attempted to connect with the audience in the most peculiar way, mentioning something about “poor relatives” that made even his supporters cringe. Only a daydreaming Biden could intertwine a serious international address with such awkwardness.
Further compounding the embarrassment, there was a moment when the President had to be guided around like a toddler, firmly grasped by Angola’s president. It was less of a diplomatic visit and more of a scene from a reality show. And in another show of disconnect, it took Biden a second too long to recognize a hand extended toward him. This wasn’t just a slip-up; it was a moment that reinforced the perception that the President is more suited for a cozy armchair than the global stage.
Biden didn’t stop at mere miscommunications. In another head-scratcher, he announced a staggering $1 billion in aid for Africa’s recovery from disasters while Americans in places like North Carolina were battling the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The discontent among the American populace was palpable as many wondered why taxpayer dollars were prioritized for foreign countries rather than their struggling neighbors. It’s hard to find sympathy for a President who seems to care more about international photo ops than the chaos at home.

In a baffling display of confidence, Biden touted his prowess in rail travel, claiming to be the most “pro-rail” politician due to his alleged million-plus miles on Amtrak over three decades. Yet the math didn’t add up, with public transportation not even being accessible to him for long stretches during those years. And if that wasn’t enough to leave one astonished, he even confused the length of Donald Trump’s presidency, mistaking four years for eight. It’s hard not to chuckle at how out of touch he appears, as though he’s reading from a script that hasn’t been updated since the Obama administration. In a world craving clarity and leadership, Biden’s performance only raises more questions.
