One of the things that I have warned about time and again is that when it comes to putting Joe Biden on the world stage, his time has to be managed very carefully.
Joe is good for about a four or five-hour day, then it is lights out.
Well, Biden has proven me right again while attending the NATO conference this week.
Out of Gas
All the attendees were supposed to have a big dinner party on Tuesday night after meeting all day.
Joe decided that the meetings were enough for him, so he left for his hotel and skipped dinner. Biden had a speech scheduled for Wednesday, which gave the White House the perfect excuse to explain Biden’s absence, reported Fox News.
The White House was quick to state that Biden cut his day short so he could better prepare for his big moment on Wednesday, you know, because he struggles reading teleprompters. The White House also stated that Biden had some phone calls to make regarding the flooding in Vermont, reported The Daily Mail.
Biden did manage to predict a big win in 2024 while talking to Turkish President Recep Erdogan. While chatting with Erdogan, Biden informed him that he would be working together with the Turkish president for the next five years.
This meeting, like all of these other summits, really serves no purpose other than a photo-op for all these narcissistic heads of state. They all talk about how they are going to change the world and make it a better place, then they get back on their private jets and go back home with no binding agreements.
These are meeting that could easily take place on Zoom and cost taxpayers far less money, but it is all about getting that handshake for the cameras, something that cannot be done when meeting remotely.
On a side note, we are still unsure if Ukrainian President Zelensky owns a suit, as he was also in attendance, but chose to wear an olive green shirt and pants, reminiscent of the Vietnam War-era Army Class C uniform.
I guess he needed to remind everyone that while he is attending this conference, his country is still at war.
