One of them taught me that, and I quote, \u2018The Coast Guard is that hard nucleus about which the Navy forms in time of war,&#8217;\u201d Reagan told the cadets, who laughed raucously and then broke into cheers.<\/p>\n<p>Biden, 78, lifted the joke for his own address but reading from a teleprompter, he omitted a key word that made the joke unintelligible and fall flat. He also didn\u2019t point out that Reagan told the joke at a Coast Guard commencement address.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can only assume that you will enjoy educating your family about how the Coast Guard is, quote, \u201cthe hard nucleus around the Navy forms in times of war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crickets.<\/p>\n<p>Biden was miffed and blasted the audience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are a, why, you are a really dull class,\u201d Biden said. \u201cI mean, c\u2019mon, man. Is the sun getting to you? I would think you\u2019d have an opportunity when I say that about the Navy to clap,\u201d he said, drawing a smattering of belated applause.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the two presidents\u2019 delivery below and the audiences\u2019 responses.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.3965517241379\">\n<p lang=\"nl\" dir=\"ltr\">Ronald Reagan, 77, versus Joe Biden, 78. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tDs1l1ke6d\">pic.twitter.com\/tDs1l1ke6d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 tsar becket adams (@BecketAdams) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BecketAdams\/status\/1395104791093776387?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 19, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Washington Examiner commentator Becket Adams also said: \u201cfyi, Reagan delivered this joke in 1988, at the end of his presidency and when dementia rumors were rampant.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"10.15923566879\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">fyi, Reagan delivered this joke in 1988, at the end of his presidency and when dementia rumors were rampant.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 tsar becket adams (@BecketAdams) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BecketAdams\/status\/1395107566804480003?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 19, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden\u2019s lame attempt at humor came a day after he made a joke about running over a reporter with a truck. Biden was touring a Ford plant in Michigan on Tuesday when he drove by a group of pool reporters as he test-drove a Ford F-150 Lightning. Some asked him how he liked the truck, but one tried to ask the president about the Middle East crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. President, can I ask you a quick question on Israel before you drive away since it\u2019s so important?\u201d the reporter asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, you can\u2019t,\u201d Biden said. \u201cNot unless you get in front of the car as I step on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m only teasing,\u201d the president said, then drove off.<\/p>\n<p>In his first run for the White House in 1988, Biden was forced to withdrew after admitting to plagiarism and exaggeration of his academic record.<\/p>\n<p>Biden dropped out after it was revealed \u201che had used extensive quotes from other politicians without attributing them, had failed a law school course after failing to attribute a long quotation in a paper he wrote, and had inaccurately and angrily boasted about his academic record during a campaign appearance in New Hampshire,\u201d The Chicago Tribune <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/news\/ct-xpm-1987-09-24-8703120482-story.html\">reported<\/a> in September 1987.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl covered the White House for a dozen years and ran the Drudge Report for four years.
