Lame-duck Biden humiliated with back-corner spot in APEC family photo as China’s Xi gets place of honor in front row

LIMA — Lame-duck President Biden was relegated to the back corner of the APEC conference’s annual family photo — as Chinese President Xi Jinping was honored with a front-and-center position next to the host country’s President Dina Boluarte.

The petty humiliation of America’s leader comes ahead of his Saturday afternoon meeting with Xi — who has been feted with relative pomp throughout the event as thanks for his country’s financing of a large new port on Peru’s coast.

Biden, 81, whose increasing irrelevance domestically and on the world stage has earned him the moniker of “super lame duck,” arrived last to the family photo before taking his pre-decided position between the fellow back-row leaders of Thailand and Vietnam.

Hahaha, Joey can’t even follow simple instructions on the positioning of his hand. It looks like he is pointing “Is that the pudding arriving for lunch”

Perhaps if he wasn’t the late to get in line he might have been placed next to his benefactor. Loser.

Looks like he was making his way back from a trip to the bathroom.

The difference is Trump would have bulled his way to the front or he wouldn’t have participated.

It is possible that Biden‘s people requested that position so that we would not be any more embarrassed by Joe’s not being able to find his way to the front or not being able to find his way off the stage without the help of Jill holding his hand.

Democrats in this country are so evil that they foisted this man upon our country and protected him for 3 1/2 years They still protect him now when he represents our country on the international stage.

January 20, 2025 cannot come too soon. MAGA

It’s obvious from Joe’s pointing instead of holding his hand up as directed that he is incapable of being embarrassed. That part of his brain is no longer working if it ever did

Biden looks like he’s signaling for a cup of ice cream.

They’ve been laughing at him (and us) for almost 4 years. Humiliating. But hold on! Trump’s coming!

Or pointing out little girls in the audience that he wants to sniff and fondle.

EXACTLY like that. That was the clip I had in mind when I wrote my reply.

“ hold on! Trump’s coming!”

I am so looking forward to Trump attending international meetings. I remember doing his first term that wherever he went leaders were amazed at how informed, intelligent and powerful he was contrary to what they had read about him.

It was just the opposite with Obama, they were led to believe that a strong, intelligent leader was coming, ha ha ha

During Trump’s second term, international leaders will respect him from the start.
