There were a lot of ceremonies for D-Day in Normandy on Thursday.
So that’s a lot for Joe Biden, who normally has a very limited schedule — and doesn’t even seem up to that.

As I noted earlier, Biden seemed very tired, both speaking to David Muir from ABC and earlier on Thursday in the ceremonies.

Biden’s Awkward Moments of Confusion in Normandy
He appeared to try to sit down when everyone else was standing in a truly weird moment. Then Jill hustled him out of there while French President Emmanuel Macron was still greeting the honored veterans.
Then the group went to Omaha Beach for the next segment of the ceremonies. When Biden got out of his SUV, he had another one of those weird moments, where he holds his arms out a little and does a little bit of a crouch as he appears very confused.
People speculated about what was going on there, but whatever it was, it was very strange and not normal, just like the earlier moment. And they need to acknowledge it. But we all know they won’t.

Then he got caught on a hot mic as he was stumbling down the red carpet, embarrassingly telling Macron: “My advance team said I [gotta] be the first one to leave because I hold people up.”
So that sounds like he wants to get out of there, just like Jill rushing him out of the earlier ceremony. Maybe he shouldn’t be concerned about getting out of there when he’s at such an important event. Sounds a bit like a “check the watch” kind of an inappropriate moment. Actually, if you’re the last one to leave, you’re not holding anyone up.
And hasn’t all that been worked out in advance? And if you say that to Macron, that sort of sounds like you’re saying, “Hey buddy, I’m more important than you in your own country, so let me go first.” Macron just claps him on the back like, “Sure, Joe, whatever you say.”
Also, it’s rather ironic, given that Biden has made up all kinds of things about what former President Trump said or did in France — like not going to a cemetery because of weather — for Biden to talk about getting out of there first.

Then, during the ceremony, he wasn’t sleeping; he was just resting his eyes.
November can’t come soon enough when this person is representing us before the world and is behaving this way. It’s shameful that the Democrats are cool with all of this and even want this to continue for another four years. And then people wonder why things are in chaos and our enemies are emboldened.
All they have to do is look at things like this to know why.
