The 78-year-old president has bumbled his way through the summit, embarrassing the United States in the process and raising questions about his capacity to lead.<\/p>\n<p>In one <a href=\"https:\/\/mobile.twitter.com\/JewishVoice\/status\/1403421687861764099\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video clip<\/a> making the rounds, Biden appeared disoriented as he wandered into an outdoor seating area.\u00a0His patient wife, Dr. Jill Biden (EdD), ultimately came to his rescue and led him away.<\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, Biden embarrassed himself during a photo op with other world leaders by urging the summit&#8217;s host, British prime minister Boris Johnson, to introduce President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa. Video from the event clearly <a href=\"https:\/\/mobile.twitter.com\/redsteeze\/status\/1404310585643175938\">showed<\/a> Johnson introducing Ramaphosa before Biden interjected.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And the president of South Africa,&#8221; Biden said after Johnson finished introducing the leaders.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And the president of South Africa, as I said earlier on,&#8221; Johnson replied.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, you did. I&#8217;m sorry,&#8221; a bewildered Biden told the host, embarrassing his country on the world stage.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s relationship with Johnson was already strained after the president gifted the prime minister a $6,000 bicycle, which could be construed as an <a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/dictionary\/english\/on-your-bike\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insult<\/a> in the United Kingdom. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, telling someone to get &#8220;on your bike&#8221; is &#8220;a rude way of telling someone to go away.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The gift was also an insult to the millions of Americans who rightly view <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/buttigieg-bike-share\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cyclists<\/a> as a menace to society.<\/p>\n<p>Further questions were raised about the president&#8217;s mental fitness when Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/mobile.twitter.com\/ComfortablySmug\/status\/1404084950530498563\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">snapped<\/a> at a reporter during a media availability. Asked a simple question about his administration&#8217;s decision to keep some Trump-era tariffs and sanctions in place, the president leaned over and grumbled into the mic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A hundred and twenty days. Give me a break. Need time,&#8221; Biden growled before shuffling off the stage.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s embarrassing display continued when he repeatedly <a href=\"https:\/\/mobile.twitter.com\/Mediaite\/status\/1404459583893032961\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mixed up<\/a> the countries of Syria, in the Middle East, and Libya, in North Africa.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We could work together with Russia, for example, in Libya,&#8221; Biden said during an address to summit attendees. &#8220;We should be opening up the passes to be able to go through and provide food assistance and economic\u2014I mean, vital assistance to a population that&#8217;s in real trouble.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As the White House later confirmed, Biden was actually talking about Syria, where Russia has helped the ruthless regime of President Bashar al-Assad cling to power since the outbreak of civil war in 2011. Biden went on to confuse the two countries a couple more times during his address.<\/p>\n<p>Biden was not the only prominent American official to embarrass his country abroad. Vice President Kamala Harris was criticized from all sides for <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/kamala-harris-border-crisis-laugh\/\">bumbling her way<\/a> through a recent trip to Mexico and Guatemala. Even some Democrats were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/06\/08\/politics\/kamala-harris-border\/index.html\">perplexed<\/a>\u00a0by the VP&#8217;s inability to answer simples questions about her plans to visit the U.S. border with Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Celebrity <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/taylor-lorenz-abby-phillip\/\">journalist<\/a> Abby Phillip of CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/06\/13\/critics-give-thumbs-down-to-kamala-harris-on-trip-to-mexico-guatemala\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">described<\/a> Harris&#8217;s performance as &#8220;cringeworthy&#8221; and noted that &#8220;her allies in the White House and elsewhere are watching it and just kind of wondering, \u2018What is going on?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Harris&#8217;s failure to suddenly evolve into a better politician than the one who failed to get a single vote in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary is even more alarming given the precarious status of Biden&#8217;s cognitive health.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also very embarrassing for America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden&#8217;s performance at the G7 summit in England has done little to allay concerns about his mental competence, to say the least.
