In yet another fiasco of epic proportions, President Joe Biden turned his press conference in Vietnam into a theater of the absurd. The embarrassment reached a crescendo when someone—presumably from his own team—mercifully cut off his microphone, a tacit admission that the Commander-in-Chief was out of his depth and unfit for the responsibility of the office he holds.

Biden’s comments during the press conference were a patchwork of nonsense and confusion, particularly when questioned about his silence with Chinese President Xi Jinping for 10 months. Rather than addressing the strategic importance of U.S.-China relations, he went off on a disjointed tangent, talking about Xi’s “hands being full because of unemployment among China’s youth,” before bizarrely concluding, “I don’t know about you, but I’m going to bed.” This, ladies and gentlemen, is the man who represents us on the world stage.

Early in the press conference, Biden admitted he was following orders from his staff, rather than leading as a President should. “I’ll just follow my orders here. Staff, is there anybody that hasn’t spoken yet? I ain’t calling on you,” he stated. It was a clear signal that he is not the man in charge, but rather a puppet dancing on strings pulled by an unelected bureaucracy.

Even more troubling were Biden’s attacks on anyone who dares to question the climate change orthodoxy. In a rambling story, he referred to skeptics as “lying dog-faced pony soldiers,” using an anecdote which has been debunked by various outlets. While the Biden administration peddles its climate alarmism to advance a radical leftist agenda, they’re unable to maintain even a façade of factual integrity. It’s rich that Biden accuses others of lying, when his own storytelling is riddled with fabrications.

Biden’s performance was not only an embarrassment but a danger to national security. He is supposed to be the leader of the free world, but he appears more like a doddering elder blindly following the orders of his handlers. While America faces monumental challenges, from China’s aggression to domestic issues, we’re saddled with a President who can’t even manage to complete a coherent sentence. It’s a grim situation, one that should alarm any patriotic American concerned about the direction in which our nation is heading.
