“My name is Joe Biden. I’m the husband of Dr. Jill Biden,” the 80-year-old president began in his speech to a meeting of businesswomen at the White House. He went on to tell the women that his fridge was “full of chocolate chip ice cream.”
Western media reacted strongly to Biden’s ice cream joke. Many felt it was out of place on such a tragic day and again raises questions about Biden’s state of mental health. In addition to an attempt at an untimely humor, Biden’s lengthy ice cream revelation “is likely to feed those who say he’s just too old to run for reelection,” according to the New York Post.
“To say he misunderstood the moment would be an understatement. You know, the president is watching, hopefully, before he goes down there, the gruesome filming scenes and the reactions of family members and friends of the victims of this school. And coming down, joking about being the husband of Jill Biden, and looking for chocolate chip ice cream is not the way to begin a statement about the tragedy,” the statement said. former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to Fox News. “In such circumstances, there is no room for jokes. And certainly not from the President of the United States,” he added.

Representative Ronnie Jackson, who was the personal physician to former Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama, last month criticized the White House for not giving Biden’s doctor the floor for press questions and not saying whether the head of the White House had passed a cognitive test. .during their annual medical visit.
The President of the United States’ wit was criticized when he asked, “Where’s Jackie?” and sought out the late Rep. Jackie Walorski in September, despite publicly mourning her death in a car crash in August and even calling his family to offer condolences. Biden has publicly referred to his vice president Kamala Harris as “president” at least six times, and in December he said his uncle Frank Biden received a Purple Heart for his actions during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. However, there is no evidence that an award was given to him, and key details make this story all but false.
