It was so bad that his staff cut him off…
President Joe Biden spoke for 26 minutes during a press conference in Vietnam on Sunday before admitting he needed to go to bed.
“I tell you what, I don’t know about you, but I’m going to go to bed,” Biden, 80, joking during a riff in response to a question about why he hasn’t spoken to Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
Watch the clip above.
That was after some Presidential ramblings about John Wayne (?)
“The Indian looks at John Wayne and points to the Union soldier and says, ‘He’s a lying, dog-faced pony soldier!’” Biden said in response to a question about climate change.
JOE BIDEN: “The Indian looks at John Wayne and points to the Union soldier and says, 'He's a lying, dog-faced pony soldier!' Well there's a lot of lying, dog-faced pony soldiers out there about global warming..”

From The Daily Mail:
The press conference started more than an hour late and kicked off by the president acknowledging that his aides told him who he would be calling on.
‘They gave me five people here,’ Biden said, returning to his custom of both calling from and speaking about, the list apologetically.
‘I’m just following my orders here,’ he said at another point, as he looked at his list to call another news organization or name, as reporters in the audience yelled and waved their hands frantically to be called on.
The questions were China-heavy and Biden skipped answering queries when they were piggybacked on another question – so he didn’t address Russia and North Korea going into business together, nor Ukraine’s discontent with the G20 statement on the war, which didn’t name Russia as the aggressor.
