Biden Arrives in South Korea for First Visit to Asia — Immediately Makes America Look Stupid
https://beckernews.com ^ | May 20, 2022 | Kyle Becker

President Joe Biden arrived in South Korea on Friday for his first presidential visit to Asia. Watch as he departed Air Force One:

Biden treads very carefully down the stairs from Air Force One. Watch as he strides towards the South Korean delegation and proceeds to take the mask he was wearing outdoors off of his face.

This is not how masks are supposed to work. (Spoiler alert: They don’t work.)

On his presidential trip, Biden is set to tour manufacturing plants in South Korea and will also be going to Japan.

“President Joe Biden is opening his trip to South Korea with a focus on the U.S. tech sector, touring a Samsung computer chip plant on Friday,” the AP reported. “He’s also set to go to Japan during the six-day tour.”

Biden also made a number of gaffes. He told a plant representative from California to vote, but implied that he lived in South Korea.

“Don’t forget to vote Peter. You may live here, but don’t forget to vote,” Biden said to the worker during the tour.

“Biden thanked President Yoon, although he stumbled over his name after getting it right the first time after a long flight,” the Daily Mail reported.

“And President Moon – Yoon – you thank you everything you’ve done,” Biden said. Yoon’s predecessor was President Moon Jae-in.

“Biden also misstated the name of the facility in Taylor, Texas, where Samsung plans to spend billions,” the Mail added. “He called it Tyler, Texas.”

The ridiculous optics Biden struck even just getting off of the plane were not lost on observers.

Why the heck he wears mask when he’s alone and take the mask off when he’s close other people?

walks down the stairs solo with a mask on for the optics, immediately takes it off when he gets close to other people. He is a complete dunderhead

The dude wore a mask descending the stairs, by himself. Then took it off when he came in contact with other humans.

So, mask for walking down stairs by himself, but takes it off to shake hands? Humiliating

Perhaps the humiliation is the point. It certainly isn’t what one might call “smart” behavior.

Meanwhile, a new CNN poll highlights just how grim things are getting in the eyes of the overwhelming majority of Americans. The poll showed that 86% of Americans are either “concerned” or “scared” for the future of the country.

Biden’s poor presidential optics on his trips abroad certainly won’t help.

What level of stupid?

The voters who actually voted for him?

The DNC work the election and stole it?

Or Joe Biden the shyster politician who can’t remember his own f****** name half the time?

Or a combination of all three?

Hi.

Hillary Clinton is an alledged accomplice to murder, she is a liar, grifter, back stabbing, witch who smells bad.

From a liberal prog point of view, she is coherent and able to stay awake.

So it’s possible.

And then Joe said, "Samsung? Isn't that the real strong guy in the Bible?" /s

The voters didn’t. The election was stolen.

Brandon is not the president, nor will I ever acknowledge him as such.

If Biden was truly elected and selected,

Interesting that our Deep State trusts the South Korean Deep State to keep its trap shut if BiteMe has a bad brain day.

If we get the republic back, we need to remember that.

And even if Biden was selected, we look pretty stupid for letting it happen. We’re supposed to be the model for fair and free elections.

Let’s see if he has the balls to walk across the border into North Korea alone

I’d rather see him walk across the southern border of South Korea…WAY across it. Someone should tell him that It’s something Trump never achieved.

The robots making the chips are more sentient than Biden.

Approximately 50% of American voters are stupid for electing him and his even dumber vice president.
