President Joe Biden’s trip to Ireland has given his opponents a field day. He repeatedly appeared dazed and confused, appearing to stare into space at times. At one point during his speech at Ulster University the president rambled on about how the Oval Office was in the United States Capitol.

Poor Joe Biden
During his visit to Dublin, Hunter Biden had to explain a child’s question to his father.
“What’s the top step to success?” the child asked the president regarding stopping COVID-19.
“What’s the top what?” Biden responded.
“Step — steps — step to success,” the child answered.
Hunter Biden interjected, attempting to clarify the child’s question: “If you can — what’s the — what’s the key to success?”
“Oh, what’s the key to success? You know what I found out is the key to success is? And I’m not sure I’m the best guy to explain it; these guys can tell you,” the president responded.
This created a field day for conservative journalists and pundits on Twitter, once again calling Joe Biden’s fitness to be president into question.
Republican National Committee commentator Jake Schneider joked, “Hunter Biden, de facto press secretary: ‘Dad, he’s got a question’”
Schneider continued: “To be fair, Hunter would be a far better press secretary than Karine Jean-Pierre.”
Spectator contributing editor Stephen L. Miller chimed in tweeting, “Press Secretary Hunter Biden.”
“Omg. Hunter Biden is our president, isn’t he?” Ashe Short, senior editor at Daily Wire, wrote.
Conservative commentator Brian Doherty called for the invocation of the 25th Amendment to remove Biden from office. “The leader of the free world and has no idea WTH what he’s talking about. #25thAmendment,” Doherty tweeted.
Writer David Jack Smith surmised “We’re all gonna die in a nuclear fireball,” while tweeting out the official White House transcript of the presidential word salad.
What Happened Next?
In another speech at a pub in Dundalk, Biden caused a particular firestorm in the British media. He confused the New Zealander player on All Blacks rugby team with his Irish cousin, Patrick Kearney, defeated in 2016 by the Black and Tans.
That was a pejorative term used by Irish nationalists for constables recruited into the Royal Irish Constabulary to fight the Irish Republican Army (IRA) during Ireland’s War of Independence that ended in 1921. The Black and Tans were known for their brutality.
The president also posed for a photo with Gerry Adams, the longtime leader of Sinn Fein, the IRA’ political wing. Adams was a key figure in ending the war in Northern Ireland.
Past media reports have accused Biden of supporting the Irish nationalist cause against the U.K. The British have been particularly upset by the president’s refusal to attend King Charles III’s upcoming coronation.
“A shocking picture. We knew Biden was anti-British. What we didn’t know was that he was prepared to embrace the IRA’s Gerry Adam to prove it. Grateful if Rishi and Starmer would condemn this photo. You can shove the special relationship up your arse,” Kelvin Mackenzie, former editor of the British tabloid The Sun, that has a 4.3 million circulation, tweeted.
