Democrats were slapping their foreheads in unison.

The Joe Biden gaffe machine reared its ugly head.

And Joe Biden let a secret slip that Democrats wanted to hide from you.

As Black Eye Politics reports:

President Joe Biden’s rambling speech was cut off mid-sentence during a media conference in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi on Sunday.

Biden, now 80-years-old, made numerous gaffes during the press conference, starting with referring to the 1987 movie “Good Morning, Vietnam” as a “song.”

“One of my staff members said, remember the famous song ‘Good Morning Vietnam’? Well, good evening, Vietnam,” he said.

Biden then predictably said he’d call on reporters based on a list he’d been given.

“They gave me five people here,” Biden said.

When answering a question on global warming, Biden called skeptics of climate change “lying, dog-faced pony soldiers.”

“Did you ever think you’d be sitting at a G-20 conference where everyone was preoccupied with the notion of global warming? Not a joke, did you ever think that?” he said.

“Well there’s a lot of lying dog-faced pony soldiers out there about global warming,” he said. “But not anymore. All of a sudden, they’re all realizing it — there’s a problem. And there’s nothing like seeing the light.”

Biden tried to call on the next reporter but couldn’t find his list on the podium.

“I’m just following my orders here,” he said while he shuffled through the papers on his podium.

Biden called out to his staff as he continued to struggle.

“Staff, is there any one I haven’t spoken to?”

He then told reporters, “I ain’t calling on you.”

Biden was then asked why he hadn’t spoken to Chinese President Xi Jinping in months. He replied that he’d spoken with China’s “number two person in India today,” claiming that Xi, “has his hands full right now because of rampant unemployment among China’s youth.”

Then Biden blurted out, “I don’t know about you, but I’m going to bed,” before going back to rambling about the conversations he had with the Chinese.

“We talked about stability, we talked about the Third World, excuse me, the Southern Hemisphere has access to change. It wasn’t confrontational at all,” Biden continued before his mic was abruptly cut off mid-sentence and White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced, “Thank you, everybody. This ends the press conference. Thanks, everyone.”

A CNN poll released last week found that 56% of Democrats and 73% of Americans of the general public are seriously concerned for Biden’s physical and mental competence.
