A slip by President Biden at the G-7 summit Sunday may have revealed just how carefully his staff try to handle the commander in chief when he faces questions from the media.
Biden cracked that he’d get “in trouble” with his handlers if he failed to take questions from just the pre-planned list of reporters at his news conference at the end of the three-day world leaders meeting G-7 summit in Britain on Sunday — or if he took one too many.
“I’m sorry, I’m going to get in trouble with staff if I don’t do this the right way,” Biden said after calling on Bloomberg News reporter Jennifer Jacobs.
After making introductory remarks, the president kicked off the question-and-answer section of the presser by saying he was supposed to go to Jonathan Lemire of the Associated Press.
“Now, why don’t I take some of your questions? And I’m told, Jonathan, I’m supposed to talk — recognize you first,” he said.
Then at the conclusion of the news conference, Biden was walking away from the lectern when a reporter said he wanted to ask about his relationship with European allies.
“I’m going to get in trouble with my staff. Yeah, go ahead. But pretend that I didn’t answer you,” Biden said, chuckling.
The question posed was about why he still continued the steel and aluminum sanctions imposed by the former Trump administration and what he planned to do about them.
Biden responded: “A hundred and twenty days. Give me a break. Need time,” before walking off.

Reveals?
Is there anyone in the universe who does not know this guy Biden is a total puppet completely handled by his PR team?
C’mon man!!!
What a loser
At least Obama wasn’t stupid enough to tell us he did the same thing! His tellmeprompter was programmed by Valerie Jarrett! He got in trouble whenever he went off script. Remember when he said the Cambridge police acted “stupidly?” Uh huh... yep - off script. Obama was just as much of a tool as Biden is now.
Well there’s a leader for you of the WORLD’S GREATEST SUPERPOWER...afraid of his staff.
Tourette’s syndrome?
Yeah, we have a POTUS who’s exactly the take-charge-commander the Free World needs in a crisis. /s
Well there’s a leader for you of the WORLD’S GREATEST SUPERPOWER...afraid of his staff.
Elder Abuse!!!!!
“Oh, I’ll get in trouble with my staff if I don’t handle this the right way...”
Do people with dementia say things like that? Part of me wonders if Gropey’s “slow wits” are a huge act to deflect serious questions from...anybody. He avoids scrutiny, works little, and gets to play his sleepy, creepy, dopey grandpa schtick to a fawning press.
Do you think Putin or the Chinese think this doofus is capable of sending the launch codes to our nuclear forces?
This is not funny.
I’m not laughing.
Somebody needs to have enough nerve and presence of mind to ask Joe: “Mr. president: Who’s on your staff? Who is the staff you really REALLY don’t EVER want to make upset?
Who might that person be?”
“120 days”, he growled. “Give me a break.”
Wasn’t it 120 days about 3 weeks ago?
On the outside, this illegal regime seems just like an assclown show.
BUT behind the scenes, it’s the most detrimental attack this Republic has ever been subjected too!
When the real truth comes out, the evil JoeBama ENTITY will have to step down quietly or be removed by a very loud military intervention.
“Biden cracked that he’d get “in trouble” with his handlers if he failed to take questions...”
So are the same handlers going to let Kamala do whatever she wants because she is arrogant, egotistical and demanding?
Do they only push him because he’s a man? And in weakened mental condition. Bullies.
What kind of trouble can a President get in from the staff?........
Maybe the answer is “I’ll take off my shirt. You’ll see the bruises. I keep my mouth shut.”
