President Joe Biden turned 81 on Monday, continuing his record as America’s oldest sitting president. Joe shared a picture of his birthday cake on social media, drawing a few barbs from X users.
“Turns out on your 146th birthday, you run out of space for candles!” Biden joked on his POTUS Instagram account.
The president also used the image for his first-ever post on Threads, joking, “I turned 81 and all I got was a new social platform.”
“And to the workers at the birthday candle factory, I hope your union got you overtime,” he joked.
And here comes the internet. Reactions curated by The New York Post:
“There’s a portal to hell on a plate in front of him,” former National Rifle Association spokeswoman-turned-radio host Dana Loesch wrote on X.
“The cake reminds me of [the] state of the US economy it is in,” another critic griped.
A third seemed to chide White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for failing to manage her boss’ image, writing: “Karine, he looks evil in this pic. Bad look.”
“Can’t get over Biden’s birthday cake photo,” another wrote, sharing a gif from “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air” showing Will Smith’s character setting a pan on fire.
“Joe Biden got an Olympic torch birthday cake,” a third joked, while others said “Biden is so old his birthday cake looks like a bonfire.”
Is Biden too old to be President? A recent New York Times poll found 71% of swing-state voters believe Biden is “too old to be an effective president,” while just 39% said the same thing about Donald Trump.
