It’s a new “Biden moment.” The President of the United States, Joe Biden, was in Hanoi, Vietnam, this Sunday, September 10, 2023, on a diplomatic visit after attending the G20 Summit in India this weekend. But the Democratic candidate for the next presidential election has once again stood out with, to say the least, surprising appearances, reports the British news channel Sky News.
A strange answer to a question about climate change
The 80-year-old American president held a press conference in which he particularly addressed US-China relations and the threat of nuclear war. A press conference where Joe Biden “spoke quietly and seemed tired,” emphasizes the New York Times.
And while a journalist asked him a question about climate change, Joe Biden, for reasons that seemed unclear, mentioned a film by actor John Wayne. “You know, it’s… There’s… there’s a movie about John Wayne… He’s an Indian Boy Scout. And they’re trying to bring the… I think it was the Apaches… one… one of the great tribes of America into the reservation, he stammered. Before adding “Well, there are a lot of lying, dog-faced pony soldiers talking about global warming.
These answers, so to speak, did not convince the gathering of journalists before him. The octogenarian continued“I don’t know about you, but I’m going to bed.” »
The White House spokesman intervenes
Another inaudible question was then asked, but when the President of the United States gave an answer, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre interrupted the question-and-answer session and ended the press conference. Joe Biden then left the stage.
” I feel good , Joe Biden confirmed this on April 26, 2023. But the octogenarian faces numerous criticisms from Republicans. Donald Trump, who is also running for president of the United States, has long not shied away from attacking his opponent.
It must be said that Joe Biden is not his first attempt. Last June, he fell after a speech in Colorado. During a visit to King Charles III. in July he also seemed very disoriented.
