A nine-second clip of President Joe Biden taking a sip out of a coffee mug rapidly amassed millions of views, but not because people were impressed.
Presidential cycles have a way of bringing the cringe out of candidates, and this video is no exception. It shows Biden taking a sip out of a mug with his face on it, at which point the president says “I like my coffee dark.”
This may have been a play on the “Dark Brandon” persona X, formerly known as Twitter, developed for the president when he snaps at reporters and otherwise acts irritable.
Watch:
A cup of Joe never tasted better.

The mug itself is on sale and purchases go to the Biden Victory Fund. But if social media commentary is anything to go by, the whole thing will be a flop:

Joe Biden is goofing off meanwhile the US economy is crumbling.
Inflation is high.
Real wages are low.
Prices are skyrocketing.
Infrastructure is collapsing.
The supply chain is in crisis.
The border is overrun.
We’re at war with Russia.
Biden thinks this is all a joke.
