Biden struggles to set up beach chair in Malibu during first Fourth of July weekend since leaving office

What a difference a year makes.

Former President Joe Biden was snapped struggling to set up a beach chair Thursday before catching some rays with family near his son Hunter’s home in Malibu, Calif., to kick off his first Independence Day weekend since leaving office.

The ex-commander-in-chief — who took more vacation days than any modern US president — looked right at home lounging under a red umbrella with former first lady Jill Biden, while granddaughter Finnegan and grandson Beau Biden Jr. frolicked in the sand nearby.

At least 577 days of Biden’s 1,463-day term were spent vacationing — including luxurious stays at St. Croix and Nantucket as well as family getaways at Rehoboth Beach, Del.

During his trips away from Washington, viral videos of the 46th president stumbling while walking across the sand and taking a tumble off his bike gave ammo to critics calling out his mental and physical decline.

Thursday’s photos show the 82-year-old former Delaware senator and vice president happily shaking sand from his towel while wearing his signature aviator sunglasses and presidential baseball cap, before packing up.

Onlookers later spotted the elder Biden dining with Hunter at his favorite sushi joint Nobu later on Thursday after having given a keynote address at a human resources conference in San Diego earlier this week.

“I do not want you to miss any important family obligations for work,” the ex-president told the Society for Human Resource Management of his instructions to White House staff.

“There are moments we’ll never get back,” the former president warned attendees.

He was bushed from having to field calls from every world leader seeking his wisdom and sage counsel.

His stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis seems to be conveniently forgotten.

“””His stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis seems to be conveniently forgotten.”””

It’s the kind that only lasts a few days.

That or anything else, I’d lay 20 that “first” will be “last”. Referring only to natural causes

To be fair, the chair was from IKEA.

Alert Secret Service Agents wrestled the beach chair to the ground.

Joe’s like a disgraced former Ingsoc party member after torturing by the Thought Police.
He’s given a sinecure and everyone pretends it’s a real job, until he finally gives up and walks to the Chestnut Cafe and drinks gin with cloves until he stumbles home, a broken man.

Not much has changed.

Joe Biden struggles with a beach chair (as he once did to try to somehow get his second arm through his jacket sleeve with Jill working to help him).

President Trump struggles to somehow get a consensus of bickering lawmakers in two houses of Congress to agree on passage of a Big Beautiful Bill. Has to plan and make a perfect military mission with his cabinet and military branch leaders to take out the Iranian nuclear capabilities without loss of American lives or having to resort to boots on the ground in a long battle.
While he battles biased district judges and defiant city mayors over violent protests and the roundup of criminal illegal aliens.

Sounds equivalent to the leftist media.

Good point.

We have to realize this beach chair crisis shows he is working at the same level as he did the 4 years he was President. Hardly at all.

“Jill, after this beach chair stuff I’m gonna need a few days of vacation.”
“You are on vacation.”
“Am I? Forgot.”

I’m guessing if Biden were 30 years younger and in his prime, he’d have trouble figuring out how to set up a beach chair.

It’s been only 6 months .
And he couldn’t do it then either.

Not even 5 years ago.

There’s no difference. He was always a train-wreck.
