Saying
Last Thursday, U.S. President Joe Biden went to Baltimore for a live interview hosted by CNN.

The content of the interview is mainly Biden's views on a series of issues such as recent inflation and taxation, but there is nothing new.
However, the show, which was viewed by only 1.2 million viewers, eventually attracted the attention of the media and netizens.
The reason is that Biden in this live broadcast forgot to say the wrong thing, and also made strange expressions and actions?

Specifically, it goes something like this:
1. Biden mistook people

As soon as the show began, Biden was still full of confidence, took the initiative to enliven the atmosphere, greeted everyone, said that he saw a lot of familiar faces in the audience, and then greeted the next brother on the stage: "I saw you mayor of Baltimore!" ”
only... It's really embarrassing to pick your feet!
In fact, the audience was not Mayor Brandon Scott at all, but Congressman Kweisi Mfume.
Not only do the two men not look the same, but the age difference is also quite large (Brandon Scott is 37 years old, Kweisi Mfume is 73 years old), which makes Mume face the enthusiastic audience and camera, and there is no response.

But to tell the truth, this is not so difficult to understand, so far away, plus everyone is wearing masks, recognize the wrong person, it is not impossible Ha!
2. Forget the name of the second largest port "Long Beach"
Speaking about supply chain issues, Biden said, "40 percent of the products that enter the U.S. from the West Coast go through Los Angeles... What am I doing here? ”

Apparently, Biden forgot the name of Long Beach, the second largest port in the United States. A few seconds later, host Anderson Cooper rescued the scene: "Is it Long Beach?" ”
Biden finally escaped: "It's Long Beach, thank you." ”
If the above two points are more common and can be understood, the following two points are very worrying.
3. Weird gestures
When Biden was asked about the possibility of raising taxes for the wealthy.
Biden replied that it was okay to make money, but still had to pay a little share of himself: "In the United States, you have 55 companies with annual revenues of more than $40 billion, and you don't pay a penny, you don't pay a penny." ”
While saying "don't pay a penny", a strange picture appears, Biden holding his index finger and thumb, compared to a "ok" gesture, holding up one eye...
Now everyone can't understand it.
Combined with the tone at the time, a bunch of netizens felt that Biden was simply inexplicable?
Coupled with the fact that this gesture is a bit suspected of racial discrimination, netizens also made a fuss, and finally all the media came out to refute the rumors, and Biden was relieved.
4. Nearly 20 seconds of weird movements and expressions
The biggest point of discussion among netizens is probably that Biden spent nearly 20 seconds posing a strange action and expression.
At that time, Anderson Cooper was talking to Biden about inflation, cooper was talking, and suddenly, Biden held out his hands, making his arms 90 degrees, clenching his fists with both hands, his brows locked, and his expression stiff!
Doesn't it look super weird?
The move, Biden, lasted nearly 20 seconds, only to soften it up when he started talking.
Netizens began to discuss: What is this doing?
"It's like there's a podium in front of him."
Others said that Biden's actions were exactly the same as when the characters in "The Four and the Big Head" got angry.
Could this be Biden's Halloween cos?
Of course, the final scribblers must be ridiculed.
"He's taking out the garbage."
"Shout you bought Bitcoin."
"Or he's riding a horse."
"Like he's skiing?"
"Come on, the game starts!"
"Do you eat ice cream?"
