CONFUSED Joe Biden completely forgot what he was talking about and mumbled incoherently at the camera before walking away from the podium mid-question in an excruciating press conference.
The president took questions from reporters for the first time on Thursday afternoon, but quickly began to make mistakes.
AS he finished answering a question about filibuster, Biden appeared to trail off-thought, ending with a pause, concluding “anyway.”
“…If you hold near and dear to you that you uh um like to be able to um….” Biden said, before concluding “anyway.”
Biden then closed his eyes and appeared to struggle to form the next sentence.
However, after seconds of confusion, he quickly told reassured viewers “we’re ready to get a lot done.”
He then appeared to call out a name from a list of White House reporters who were quizzing the president.
Going back to his list at a later point of the conference, Biden asked “where am I” before asking CNN’s Kaitlan Collins for another question.
After announcing that he was taking his final question, Biden appeared to walk away from the podium in the middle of a question.
It looks as though he may have been trying to get closer to the reporter, potentially to hear her better.
Minutes later, Biden told reporters “folks, I’m going,” as he finally exited the stage.
Quickly after the gaffes, QAnon Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene questioned how fit the president is to serve.
“Joe Biden is stumbling so badly that he can’t even answer questions in a manner that makes sense,” she tweeted.
“Not only did he lie about President Trump, Biden doesn’t have a clue what is going on. He is not fit to serve. It’s obvious to everyone.”
The struggles came just days after the president was filmed falling three times on the steps of Air Force One today before flying to Georgia.
Worrying footage showed the president, 78, tripping on the stairs just months after injuring his foot.
Biden was on his way to Atlanta on Friday to meet with Asian community leaders following the massage parlor shootings earlier this week.
He tripped a total of three times as he made his way up the stairs to board Air Force One.
However, Biden quickly recovered and carried on up the stairs, giving a salute before entering the aircraft.
The White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that Biden is “doing 100 percent fine” following the tumble.
Late last year Biden was seen wearing his typical navy blue suit with a cast on his right foot outside The Queen theater in Delaware.
He appeared at the venue in Wilmington to formally unveil his six-person economic team, a core group that includes veterans from previous Democratic administrations and historic firsts.
Biden was forced to wear the protective boot for “several weeks” after x-rays revealed a “hairline fracture” in his foot.
Days before that, during a press conference touting the Covid-19 vaccine rollout Biden experienced a slip of the tongue about his second-in-command.
“The hardest hit and suffered the most especially black, latino, native american, and rural communities,” he began
Biden went on to say that he believed that efficiency had to be met with “fairness” before the gaffe.
