Biden’s cue cards are back in the news.
President Biden sat down for tea with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday at 10 Downing Street and his chat “cheat sheet” was caught by photographers.
“We’ve got a lot to talk about,” The Daily Mail reported Biden saying during the meeting with Sunak.
From The Daily Mail:
Despite only having to hold a conversation with Sunak for a matter of minutes, one sharp photographer noticed 80-year-old Biden clutching a cue card, and managed to snap a picture of what was inscribed.
The word ‘NATO’ was written in large print and underscored, even though both world leaders were headed to Vilnius mere hours later.
‘F-16’ also stood out, suggesting Biden was prepared to discuss whether NATO could offer the fighter jets to Ukraine’s air force – a point of debate for months.
Other mentions included ‘Turkey’ – another NATO country who until late last night had resisted Sweden’s accession to the alliance – ‘Atlantic Declaration’, in reference to the new US-UK economic agreement announced last month, and AI.
The president’s reliance on such simple cue cards to steer the conversation highlighted the astounding 37-year age gap between the two world leaders, and was seen as yet another indication of Biden’s seemingly declining mental awareness.
