Joe Biden appears to walk off during G7 flag ceremony

The US president had appeared distracted when world leaders gathered to take part in a group photograph.

Video of the event shows him being brought back by Giorgia Meloni, the Right-wing Italian prime minister.

Asked in Puglia, Italy, where he is attending the G7 summit, about whether Mr Biden was ok, Mr Sunak replied: “Yes. He went to go and talk to the pilot, one of the parachute jumpers."

He needs to be in nursing home, not white house. Please give this poor guy a break 😢

As non American, i wonder who the hell is in charge of your country?

[shauncorless]

He ticks all the boxes for dementia 😢

"Where am I, who am I, and what am I supposed to do?"

This poor old guy... Poor Americans, don't have another president? Is he the best of the Americans? And he'll compete again? What's wrong with the USA?

[Golubtr]

Who rules in USA ? ..obviously its not this old guy. ..😂

[cald]

Dude what. How is anyone able to deny this? He looks SOO lost and confused. He’s having an episode on camera

[seb]

He saw Pooh and Piglet waving at him in the treeline.

[sskandle]

He's literally walking into sunset. 😂

When I see Biden walking, all I can imagine is some extremely old guy in a nursing home that can barely walk or understand what's going on around him without assistance. And I don't even mean that as a petty insult. I'm completely serious. It's INSANE that this man is allowed to remain as president.

He doesn't walk around aimlessly, he just sees things other people can't see and interacts with them.

[federicorazzoli]

Biden almost walked off. Unfortunately, Sunak didn't.

[verge]

To be fair, the old fella was just saying hello and 'thumbs up' to a couple of people... golfers..? ... para-gliders..? who were approaching him.

The Western commander was probably meditating on the ghost of Kiev.

[abdulzahidkhan]

These criminals are in charge, God help us,

[TheHirohikoAraki]

I gotta ask this question, but who voted him in the first place?

[ServantProfessional]

I don’t get it, He was clearly talking to the paratroopers off screen before being asked to turn around for a photo op.

What’s so concerning about that?

[margerycummings]

What a bunch of sad leaders we have and what a waste of bloody money

[spess]

Slowly putting on those sunglasses was the funniest part of this video
