Biden struggles to read from teleprompter as he mistakes new policy

Joe Biden struggled to read from a teleprompter on Tuesday, muddling the announcement of a major new policy.

The US president, 81, spoke at the NAACP national convention in Nevada, where he  was expected to announce a new 5 percent cap on rental increases nationwide, but instead mistakenly said he would be capping raises of rent to just $55.

Mr Biden has heavily relied on teleprompters during public appearances, often trailing off and losing track of his thoughts without one.

But the president on Tuesday appeared to lack sufficiently good eyesight to decipher what was on the screen in front of him.

Watching Biden growing more and more feeble is painful. The coverup is over.

[Mr.Not_Sure]

It's not a question whether Joe win second term. The question will he able to serve full one term.

What's scary, is he probably rehearsed that speech several times, ans STILL couldn't remember the difference between 5% and $55.
He read through it without even thinking about what he was saying.
Just like he has spoken the "PAUSE" comments when reading off the teleprompter.

[applehead]

He just got my vote ! I can handle $55 !

What’s wrong with the democrats to think this is the right man to run are country he can’t even hold a conversation
