During a meeting with the leaders of Japan, Australia and India at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, President Joe Biden appeared confused and irritated, at one point shouting, "Who's next?" when it was actually his turn to introduce the Indian prime minister.
“I want to thank you all for being here,” Biden told the audience. “And now, uh, who am I introducing next?”
After the rest of the group went silent, Biden shouted, "Who's next?"
Finally, an announcer's voice came over the loudspeaker and introduced Indian PM Narendra Modi to the meeting.
The group is known as the Quad Alliance, and although these countries are staunch allies of the U.S., their leaders have to be wondering what has happened to Biden even just since the 2020 election.
The meeting on Saturday dealt with recent pressures from China and led Biden to say that China is "testing" the alliance.
A joint statement from the alliance also announced the Quad Cancer Moonshot aimed at reducing cervical cancer, disaster relief in the Indo-Pacific region, and maritime security there.
But Biden is barely able to hold it together long enough to run a meeting like this.
On Friday Biden held his first full cabinet meeting in nearly a year. The last one was on October 2, 2023.
He opened the meeting and then turned it over to his wife, First Lady Jill Biden. “I’d like to turn it over to Jill for any comments she has. It’s all yours, kid,” he said.
Never mind that Jill is unelected and no one voted for her to lead her husband's cabinet meetings.
The fact is, our president is too mentally diminished to do his job anymore. Someone unelected has been running the show pretty much his whole term, whether it's been Jill Biden, Barack Obama, or someone else.
The RNC Research account on X pointed out, “Jill, Ed.D., is now assisting whatever is left of Crooked Joe Biden in leading cabinet meetings."
