While speaking on healthcare costs in the East Room of the White House on Friday, President Biden had a string of gaffes that set off the Twitterverse.
Joe started off with some microphone troubles:

But he managed to recover —and violently cough into his hand:

But the strangeness was just getting started as Joe told the room a story about his parents’ headboard that put everyone on edge.

Then, Joe pivoted to the classics, whispering a deficit lie that even WaPo debunked.
Biden, in his creepy whisper, once again repeats the debunked lie that he "lowered the deficit $1.7 trillion in the first two years."
The Washington Post gave him a "Bottomless Pinocchio" for that lie. pic.twitter.com/Vgh54lcEfJ

Finally, Joe dodged questions on the cocaine found in the West Wing —what a finale!
