What a coward. The Usurper-in-Chief couldn't face the press and answer their questions like our currently duly elected President Trump. Instead, tucked tail and retreated.

[White Lives Matter]

Sorry! Author should be accredited to Cristina Laila.

So, his response to this situation was to take 10 minutes to give a speech that didn’t even address the crises.

Trump was America first and

Biden is foreigners first

[V_TWIN]

You got it!

Blaming Trump isn’t going to play well....not that it matters

[rdcbn1]

Kind of makes you wonder why he bothered in the first place.

Scary though, because the best answer to that question is that he has lost touch with all reality and with public opinion, both at the same time.

[RckyRaCoCo]

So he basically threw birthday boy under the bus for his 8 years of fail?

[Sirius Lee]

What a coward.

In dopey joe's defense, despite being accused of being a shuffling old man, I've never seen him skip to my Lou so energetically as he did to get away from the press pool's questions. Probably broke a record. And a hip....

[madison10]

I bet they are. Losers.

[Responsibility2nd]

Joe couldn't take questions.

[Obadiah]

...why he bothered in the first place.

Simply because it was a box that had to be checked. And now Circleback and others can say, "Biden addressed the American people on that..." Biden is attempting to spin this as to whether we should or should not stay in Afghanistan. That point is totally moot. THe issue is Biden's complete withdrawal disaster that unfolded in front of the whole world. Yeah, he gave a 10 minute speech and then ran away like a coward.

A press conference that doesn’t require the press. Interesting.

[cdcdawg]

Predictable. He gave his press something they can understand and run with. What else could he have done? The problem is that he’s damaged by this, mainly because he just said it wouldn’t happen.

[mware]

Saw them load up the plane with over 1\2 dozen suitcases. Looks like he has plans to stay awhile.

[butlerweave]

Amazing the Democrats are not letting a Crisis go to waste and instead they’re running away

[unixfox]

He wasted all that money to give a speech he could have done from Camp David?

Pathetic.

[Vendome]

WTF...

[CommerceComet]

Who didn’t see that coming?

[SpaceBar]

Rice pudding with a sprinkle of cinnamon and then nap time.
