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.
This makes me sad, for people so stupid they voted for this demented fool.
Well he makes the people who voted for hi look stupid, but unfortunately they really are stupid or they wouldn't have voted for the POS
The election was stolen. With the approval of the voters. There were no organized protest or demonstrations objecting to the stolen. The Republican Party agreed that the election was legitimate. Even the Great Patriot, Vice President Mike Pence affirmed that the election was legal and legitimate. Each time President Trump objected, he was ridiculed by Republicans. I am pleased that you do not recognize the son of a female dog as President. Neither do I. But the fact is that the son of a v.d. riddled whore sits in the White House destroying the Nation.
Saw this part, everyone is standing off to the right and this dolt is standing there by himself, lost as usual.
“There were no organized protest or demonstrations objecting to the stolen”
Tell that to all the people in prison for doing that and to the million others who went to DC.
We didn’t deserve Trump—Americans deserve Biden, the BLM riots, the High Crime and stupid men are women, women are Men talk. WE deserve it—We were asleep at the switch and let this train wreck happen. Enjoy your $10 a gallon gas and meatless diet—be lucky you have gruel to eat. Maybe, just maybe, you will wake up in a dozen years and see what needs to be done. Wait for WW III and the draft—This time no Peace Protests will be permitted.
I have no doubt in the least Biden more frequently than not doesn’t know where he is or what he’s doing when he is. I think this tour is just to give him more cover as he plods along ....and the press will make sure he looks like he’s accomplishing things.
It’s really bad when world leaders are also providing Biden with cover.
His wife and family are horrible for allowing Biden to be the laughing stock. I suspect they have no regard for his office or this country....rather like leeches.
Looks like one of those “self-guided” tours. ;-)
more diversion from all his failures and all his massively bad policies
Very unusual for a US Prez or official to visit S. Korea before Japan . Wondering why .
They were not legitimately elected. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS...
