In front of the whole world, President Joe Biden looked like a flaming hot mess.
Biden’s press conference in Vietnam turned into a wild event. The President went off into a tangent about John Wayne, admitted it was time for bed, wandered off stage, admitted he’s just “following order,” and struggled to remember who he was supposed to call on.
It was wild to see.
What is happening??
Biden is struggling to answer a question (listen to pause between each word) before saying:
“I’ll tell you what, I don’t know about you, but I’m gonna go to bed”
Moments later his staffers abruptly cut him off and end presser@DailyCaller pic.twitter.com/4cg70EYWMG

We saw it when he traveled to Maui. It is possible that he is struggling with the effects of these long overseas trips. Even perfectly healthy young people can struggle with traveling halfway around the world. Now imagine being in Biden’s condition.
Joe didn’t start on the right foot and it was all downhill from there.
BIDEN: “Good evening, everyone. It is evening, isn’t it? This around the world in five days is interesting. Well, one of my staff members said, ‘Remember the famous song, Good Morning, Vietnam?’ Well, good evening, Vietnam.” pic.twitter.com/PjvBtiVcLN

He let the cat out of the bag.

Oh and if you are not on the “list” Biden “ain’t calling on you.”
Biden gets VERY confused during his “press conference” in Vietnam:
“I’ll just follow my orders here. Staff, is there anybody that hasn’t spoken yet? I ain’t calling on you.” pic.twitter.com/8xSmP94ZZK

Remember he only took five questions and this happened.
BIDEN: “The Indian looks at John Wayne and points to the Union soldier and says, ‘He’s a lying, dog-faced pony soldier!’ Well, there’s a lot of lying, dog-faced pony soldiers out there about global warming!” pic.twitter.com/d98IdhKLRA

Maybe this was the problem, he was tired.

His staffers had enough after that and ended the event.
