President Joe Biden announced “I’m going to go to bed” at a press conference in Vietnam during his Asian tour Sunday night.
When asked about why he hadn’t spoken with Chinese leader Xi Jinping he said, “I just think that there are other things on leaders’ minds and they respond to what’s needed at the time.”
“Look, nobody likes… having celebrated international meetings if you don’t know what you want at the meeting, if you don’t have a game plan. He may have a game plan, he just hasn’t shared it with me,” he went on.
Then he added, “But I’ll tell you what, I don’t know about you, but I’m going to go to bed.”
According to the New York Post, Biden left Vietnam Monday morning and headed to Alaska instead of New York on the 22-year anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
It is the first time a sitting president has not attended a memorial service at Ground Zero. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris was sent to attend the traditional ceremony.
This has drawn harsh criticisms of Biden’s leadership and concerns about his ability to govern.
Journalist Jack Posobiec posted to X, formerly Twitter, stating, “They sent Kamala to the World Trade Center memorial instead of Biden. They’re doing it in plain sight.”
Comedian Tim Young said, “I’m excited to hear Biden compare the World Trade Center falling on 9/11 to his kitchen fire today.”
Florida Congressional candidate Lavern Spicer had another take. She noted, “I’m actually happy that Biden is CONVENIENTLY absent for today’s 9/11 ceremonies.”
She accused him of being selfish and disgraceful, then added, “Do us all a favor and MOVE TO CHINA where your senile ass belongs.”
