First lady Jill Biden suffered a Jeb Bush “please clap” moment on Thursday, when her applause line fell utterly flat during an event in Washington.

“I’ve visited red states and blue states and I’ve found that the common values that unite us are deeper than our divisions,” Jill told an audience at the Reagan Institute Summit on Education in Washington, DC.

After saying the line, the first lady paused for a moment before reacting with surprise at spectators’ non-reaction. “And, um, I thought you might clap for that,” said Biden, drawing laughs and applause.

That’s understandable. Seals are good at some tricks but sometimes they need to be prompted.

“I’ve visited red states and blue states and I’ve found that the common values that unite us are deeper than our divisions."

She didn't say anything really worth applauding.Woulda been funny if someone had simply asked, "Like what, exactly?"

Dr. Jill needs a big dose of the clap?

Who’d have thunk?

Good Seals are trained not to laugh out loud at that buffoon, Brandon.

Maybe she can go back to making jokes about breakfast tacos?

LOL, a please clap moment.

I’m sure it was awkward.

Sort of like, if someone tells a joke, nobody laughs, and then the joketeller has to explain why the joke was supposed to be funny............

“I’ve visited red states and blue states and I’ve found that the common values that unite us are deeper than our divisions,”

Why would anyone clap for that? It’s simply not true.

Apparently “the Dr.” showed poor judgment and brought Taco’s to the event instead of Sardines.

Jill needs to learn from the other standup icons....
Curly Howard in tribute to Jimmy Durante line....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qma30UMJjHg

Rodney Dangerfield advice....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYNo6auDhww

And if they don’t applaud or laugh then like Jimmy Durante, just say Goodnight...

At best, she is a thoroughly graceless individual.

Joe and Jill
Went up the hill

Both with a buck
And a quarter

When they came down
Jill had two-fifty!

(That ______ ____!)
