If he’s taking questions, you can bet it’s scripted.

[haileysmom]

He can’t do this without a teleprompter???

[fenix]

Does Joe think people won't notice that he looks at the teleprompter when he has his sunglasses on? 😂

[garyi]

I am Japanese and I know what Prime Minister Kishida really thinks of "Yakuza Joe".

[nextup]

1:54 "Say that again" 🤣
Our President is Ron Burgundy, whatever you put on the Teleprompter he will read.

[BluHobo]

I'd think our technology is advanced enough to at least give translated captions to read what Mr Japanese Minister is saying

[christinaweaver]

No way he came up with that impromptu. Bet the shades are teleprompted.

[jamietwigg]

He is wearing an ear piece and being told what to say.

[gusp]

Just Rude wearing those glasses! No other president wore sunglasses meeting foreign leaders.

[charleskavoukjian]

Was he able to find his way off stage? 😂

[ocrodriguez]

What a joke as always.”next question, let me check my list”. This is a disgrace that the questions are pre-fed. This is a shame how he has to be given the questions in advanced and told how to answer.

[loveisds]

Anyone noticed he read "say it again" - I'm thinking someone wanted him to emphasize "Japan is the top foreign investor in the United States - say it again - Japan is the top foreign investor in the United States" I'm seeing a sequel to Weekend at Bernie's becoming Weekend at Joe's. With the DNC, Obamas, Clintons, Jill Biden and Kamala as the supporting cast.

[greg]

Amazing he has his answers on a card before the question is even asked. Sunglasses are an interesting touch to try and hide it. Joe just didn’t pull it off well.

[cottagefarm]

When i'm old and senile I want what Biden is taking -ALL THE SUDDEN HE'S GOT VITALITY & He Can Talk Normal. FOIA REQUEST, what did the doctor give Biden?

[kimconley]

‘SLOW-JO STILL WEARING HIS ‘ECLIPSE GLASSES..
While Trying To ‘Read the Teleprompter, ‘’Cocko Islands….😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[laurier]

reading from a script and stumbling all the way through...this President is an embarassment.

[demoncat]

Oops…..better not say that. Oops I may get in trouble if I say that….oops——

[CuldisacCozz]

If those shades don't hint even more.. this guy can't win man

[williamrahming]

It’s pathetic to see him read the answers to questions! It’s pathetic that the media plays his game and gives him questions ahead of time so they can prepare answers! In his reading of a response, he even mentioned something the Prime Minister said! How was that written unless they knew he was going to say it! This is a joke! Who’s running this freaking country?!?!

[TonyStark]

Lemme tell ya something, we love Joe Bro so much to the point where we want him as president for 4 more years, Joe Bro is an absolute saint & an absolute legend and is doing America proud with his STELLAR leadership skills as president. We’re so glad we live in an amazing country with Joe bro as the leader of our great nation!
