In bold, large print, the visible page of Biden’s prep binder outlined his opening greetings: ”Good evening, my fellow Americans … Mr. Speaker … Madam Vice President … Members of Congress and the Cabinet … Military leaders … Distinguished guests.”
“Dude can’t fit a full sentence on a page because the font has to be so big,” Red State’s Bonchie posted.

Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) chimed in, saying, “Americans have seen a preview — we’re good.” He also shared a screenshot of a Fox News poll showing public opinion on Biden’s economy.

“Where are the instructions on how to get on and off stage?” another Twitter user asked.
“Dude is posting like a college girl who skipped class all semester and needs to send a pic to her parents of her studying for finals,” Harrison Krank posted.
Some users took advantage of the visible page from Biden’s binder, replacing the original text with their own. The Prison Mitch account (@MidnightMitch) started the trend by sharing a template with a blank page instead of notes.

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) also got in on the action, replacing Biden’s text with their own message: “What voters will hear: Vote Republican in 2024.”

The State of the Union address is scheduled to take place before a joint session of Congress at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
How did some Twitter users take a lighter approach and make jokes about President Biden’s preparation for his address
And is trying to catch up on all the assignments,” joked another Twitter user.
The photo shared by President Biden sparked various reactions on social media, with many users pointing out the large font and limited content on the visible page of his prep binder. Critics argued that the president’s inability to fit a full sentence on a page was indicative of his inability to articulate his thoughts concisely.
Conservative media outlet Red State’s Bonchie took a jab at Biden, expressing his disbelief at the size of the font used in the binder. He sarcastically commented, “Dude can’t fit a full sentence on a page because the font has to be so big.” This tweet further fueled the mockery surrounding the president’s photo.
Republican Senator Eric Schmitt from Missouri added his thoughts to the conversation, sharing a screenshot of a Fox News poll that displayed public opinion on Biden’s handling of the economy. Senator Schmitt’s tweet seemed to suggest that the American public had already formed their opinions about the president, regardless of his upcoming State of the Union Address.
Nonetheless, not all the reactions were critical or focused on the content of the binder. Some Twitter users took a lighter approach, joking about the preparations for the event. One user playfully asked, “Where are the instructions on how to get on and off stage?” implying that such details may be missing from the president’s preparation materials.
Another user likened Biden’s social media activity to that of a college student trying to catch up on missed work, humorously stating, “Dude is posting like a college girl who skipped class and is trying to catch up on all the assignments.”
As President Biden prepares for his first State of the Union Address, scrutiny and humor surrounding even the smallest details, such as the content of his prep binder, are not unexpected. Social media platforms continue to provide a space for individuals to express their opinions and offer a variety of perspectives on political matters.
