‘I don’t know… you confused me’: Biden has another presser with children, snubs 7th grandchild

April 28, 2023 | | Print Article

Fresh off the cheat sheet controversy, where President Joe Biden appeared to have a question from a Los Angeles Times reporter ahead of time, the president struggled to recall all of his grandchildren while ignoring son Hunter Biden’s love child with a stripper altogether. He also appeared to forget the last country he visited — two weeks ago.

Biden was taking questions from children Thursday during a Take Your Child to Work Day event at the White House, and at times had to rely on the children to muddle his way through the Q&A.

“Surrounded by kids dressed as Secret Service agents, the 80-year-old had to rely on youngsters to finish his responses and admitted he was ‘confused’ before one eventually told him it might be time to return to the Oval Office,” the Daily Mail reported.

After telling the children he had six grandchildren — Hunter’s 4-year-old daughter, Navy Joan, is his seventh grandchild — Biden tried to recall where the grandchildren lived.

“I have six grandchildren, and I’m crazy about them. And I speak to them every single day — not a joke,” he said. “As a matter of fact, I just got finished going through the calls, and only one of them answered the phone, but at least I got to leave a message.”

After naming them, the president added, “And guess what, they’re crazy about me because I pay so much attention to them.”

Another child asked where they live and, after responding with their locations, Biden said, “I left somebody out… I said five… six? I’ve got one in New York, two in Philadelphia, or is it three? Three? I don’t know… You confused me, but they’re all around.”

Again, he ignored the seventh grandchild.

A child stumped Biden when he asked what was the last country he visited as president — the answer, of course, is Ireland, as he just returned from his ancestral homeland.

“The last country I’ve traveled — I’m thinking what’s the last one I was in? I’ve been to 89 — I met with 89 heads of state so far, so I’m trying to think. What was the last — where was the last place I was?  It’s hard to keep track,” he replied.

A child would come to his rescue, calling out, “Ireland!”

“You’re right, Ireland,” Biden responded. “That’s where it was.”

“Cognitively unfit by a mile,” professional golfer Steve Flesch tweeted. “This is disgraceful and why no country respects America right now.”

Here’s a quick sampling of other responses from Twitter:
