Representing the United States abroad for the first time in office, the Bidens descended on the United Kingdom acting as folksy and haphazard as ever.
Biden Jets Off To The UK, “Keeps Forgetting” He’s President.
President Joe Biden kicked off his European tour on Wednesday, giving brief comments en route to Air Force One—”Watch out for the cicadas. I just got one—it just got me”—and outlining his goals for the trip as “strengthening the alliance and [making] it clear to Putin and to China that Europe and the United States are tight, and the G7 is going to move.” On the plane, the First Lady Jill Biden tweeted out a photo of herself working behind the president’s desk, captioned, “Prepping for the G7.”
For their first engagement, the president delivered remarks at Royal Air Force Mildenhall alongside the First Lady, who snapped, “Joe, pay attention,” when Biden turned to survey the crowd during her speech.
Both Joe and Jill separately had awkward, sputtering interruptions to their remarks upon realizing that the crowd should be seated or stand at ease. “I keep forgetting I’m President,” Biden said.
The remainder of the Bidens’ time in the United Kingdom was set to include a meeting with Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his satanist wife Mrs. Carrie Johnson, three consecutive days of G-7 sessions, and an audience with Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle.
