US Biden appears to have trouble sitting down during D-Day remembrance event

COLLEVILLE-SUR-MER, France (TND) — President Joe Biden walked off stage with his wife after appearing to struggle sitting down at an event in France Thursday commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

An awkward clip circulating social media shows a rigid President Biden hunching backward into a chair while on stage at the event. The president appears to make three attempts to lower himself into the chair before finally coming to rest in the seat.

President Biden later stood at a podium where he delivered an address to the crowd before returning to his seat and again appearing to have similar difficulties. That time, he remained standing.

He stayed on stage to witness a performance of taps and a cannon salute to veterans before Jill Biden took his hand and walked off the stage, leaving French President Emmanuel Macron alone to visit with veterans.

Biden’s strange stooping motion caused several terms to trend on X including “diaper,” “pooping” and “pooped.”

The scene paints a poor picture for President Biden, 81, who is fighting off harsh criticisms of his physical and mental capabilities. A bombshell report from the Wall Street Journal earlier this week characterized the president as frequently needing to reference notes during important meetings and repeatedly forgetting details of his own policy.

White House spokesperson Andrew Bates described the article as containing "false and politically motivated claims,” according to Fox News.

The president in April appeared to confuse the events of January 6 with D-Day, reminding the crowd not to “forget the dark days of June 6” under former President Donald Trump.

"January 6th, excuse me," he corrected.

I really don't see the debates happening, some excuse will be made at the last second.

He's way too far gone.

He fucking shit himself didn't he? Maybe he's tired of people making him get dressed and putting him in helicopters/SUVs etc?

Biden is doing a great job uniting the country against him. Maybe that was the plan all along.

Bringing up Jan 6th during a D-Day commemoration is cringe enough without getting it wrong.

Trump is literally using Hitler’s language.

Gavin Newsome will show up to the debate and pretend he's been the candidate the whole time.

He was ALIVE during D-Day, he's that old.

2nd term for Joe Halberstram!

 

[Hitman One]

lmao it's just like when Hillary was filmed having literal seizures or fits or whatever the fuck was going on. The demonrats caused this by murdering Bernie; don't call it a grave, it's the future you chose.

 

[BulkForceFive]

He fucking shit himself didn't he?

dropped a Bangalore torpedo right in his Omaha beach

 

[The Gene Genie]

There are old veterans in that audience who literally stormed those beaches who are less senile and decrepit than him.

He will be absolutely stuffed full of amphetamines and whatever drugs that people with Alzheimer's and dementia get to give them a bit of lucidity.

He'll be facing dress rehearsed questions given WELL in advance and have friendly moderators and no crowd.

100% stage managed down to the second and he'll be wheeled out of there the second it ends a dhis mic will be cut if he starts going off script.

Considering how it went last election, can you even IMAGINE 2024 Biden getting hit by the Trumpdozer?

Spoiler: Feel free to steal this

 

[Quixotic Man]

False! According to sources familiar with the matter, President Joe Biden did not "shit himself" but only suffered minor anal leakage. As no solid matter was expelled, it does not meet the commonly held definition of "shit."

We rate this claim four screaming Donnies!

 

[Tepes Thot]

He crapped himself toddler style.

I myself love hellworld, ran by literally shitty world leaders, what about you?

 

[vanilla_pepsi_head]

This isn't even something that I could charitably interpret as sciatica or some other benign old guy ailment. Even if this was not an instance of Biden publicly shitting himself, it does look like he's having actual difficulty remembering how to sit down, like the muscle memory to perform this action still exists but is unclear enough that he's kind of unsure. He's fucking gone, man.
