Biden sticks to teleprompters as he gives NATO chief Medal of Freedom to kick off 75-year summit

President Biden read carefully from teleprompters Tuesday in a speech kicking off NATO’s annual summit — before presenting the alliance’s secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of his service.

The 81-year-old president spoke with only a few minor verbal stumbles — at one point grasping for the pronunciation of “Ukraine” — as congressional Democrats debated his political fate following his confused debate performance on June 27.

Can teleprompters be manufactured without fossil fuels?

People are saying he has dementia. I think he needs to be tested for syphilis.

[darthfader]

The Military Industrial Complex appreciates NATO's efforts.

[stangss]

evil.... He just lies lies lies. And those awards don't mean anything anymore, all politics.

He can't even give a speech without Obama in his ear. And people see him as a very healthy man 😂😂😂😂

[darlenerutter]

Biden reading from teleprompter -wow still able to

[kingqbert]

Only way he can speak is with the prompter. Very sad and scary!

[lalutte]

Speech writer and teleprompter otherwise he is lost, left wandering

[judymoon]

I'm surprised Joey didn't try to sniff him while he was that close 😬

[lolsike]

Why is he still in the presidential race?

[blotfd]

they had to type "core" for barry in the prompter because he kept pronuncing it "corpse" in Marine Corps and Peace Corps. over and over. they gave up trying to explain it to him.

[anderander]

How many billion did that medal cost us?

[Ryanosaurr]

It's a shame that this was the best attempt at a defense to make our president look adequate: "The 81-year-old president spoke with only a few minor verbal stumbles..."

[rogerk]

Funny. In 1985, the goal of AUF leader Jens Stoltenberg was to withdraw Norway from NATO.

[marylouskillin]

Ooh he used a TELEPROMPTER!😮. The horror! I'm shocked!!

[Alicja]

Pierwszy raz widzę, ze Stoltenberg się uśmiecha, chyba to nie on.

[jerrythompson]

freedom from what, no free elections in Ukraine, doesn't mean nothing- Trump's Free At Last Speech, will mean more than a peace of metal
