During the King of Jordan's visit, a scene with US President Joe Biden once again caused a stir.
Critics scoff.
Washington DC - During Abdullah II's visit to the White House, the broad lines of world politics were discussed - for example, the Israeli war in the Gaza Strip and the crisis in the Middle East.
At the obligatory press conference, the King of Jordan wanted to give an overview of this together with US President Joe Biden (81).
A special moment at the event once again brought some observers to the conclusion: Due to his age, Biden is no longer physically and mentally capable of properly representing the world power USA.
The US President recently caused a stir when Biden claimed to have spoken to Helmut Kohl about the storming of the Capitol - but he had already been dead for four years.
Confused President of the USA: Joe Biden cannot find his place – “I have switched sides”
What happened?
At the news conference, Biden said, "Your Majesty, I'll give you the floor," after Biden, 81, welcomed the Jordanian king to the White House.
As Abdullah prepared to speak, the US president moved around the podium, looking at the floor as if searching for a marker to show him the right place.
Biden vacillated between two different positions before settling on the left side of Abdullah.
The Jordanian king was briefly thrown off guard, so Biden stepped to the other side and said, “I have switched sides.”
The following video shows the scene of Biden's appearance:

Joe Biden's misfires are not new - and have been on the current political agenda, especially since the explosive final report by special investigator Robert Hur in the affair surrounding Biden's handling of secret documents.
But the report describes Biden as a “well-meaning older man with a poor memory.”
Biden has repeatedly mixed up the names and nationalities of foreign heads of state and government in the past, and this has happened to him several times in the past few days.

Another secret weapon against Trump is also being discussed: Michelle Obama remains under discussion as Biden's replacement in the 2024 US election.

At that time, The Hill

Biden can't find space: Critics complain about another incident - "The world is laughing at us"
Of course, opponents of the US President did not leave the new incident in the White House uncommented.
“The world is laughing at us,” wrote Andrew Giuliani, a former Trump administration official and son of the former mayor of New York, on X (formerly Twitter).
Radio host and political strategist Melik Abdul scathingly commented: “Don’t judge his mental capacity.
Judge him on his ability to do things like stand in the right place of the invited guest.”
