US netizens rejoice ahead of Trump’s inauguration as Biden faces backlash for another blunder

As the United States prepares for the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, outgoing President Joe Biden has once again found himself at the center of controversy. Known for his frequent gaffes, Biden triggered backlash after a harsh response to reporters and a public birthday mishap that quickly went viral.

The incident unfolded when Biden, the oldest living US President, snapped at journalists who raised questions about his age. His stern reply, “My being the oldest president, I know more world leaders than any of you have ever met in your whole godd*mn life,” drew sharp criticism from conservatives and netizens. Many expressed outrage over his use of language, labeling his remark “embarrassing” and “disrespectful.”

This is not the first time Biden has faced scrutiny over his cognitive abilities. Throughout his presidency, critics have pointed to his verbal missteps as evidence of mental decline. These concerns only intensified during the 2024 election campaign and now, as he prepares to leave office, they remain a focal point of public debate.

Adding to the controversy was a lighthearted yet awkward moment when Biden invited a young man on stage during an event. As he led the audience in a rendition of “Happy Birthday,” Biden appeared to forget the man’s name, resulting in an uncomfortable pause. The young man managed to handle the situation gracefully, maintaining a smile throughout the incident.

The video of this blunder quickly made rounds on social media, with many users mocking Biden’s apparent memory lapse. One user wrote, “Biden brought a guy on stage to sing happy birthday but forgot his name… and mumbled nonsense instead.” Another commented, “Joe Biden has no clue who he’s singing happy birthday to. This administration is a joke.”

As the countdown to Donald Trump’s inauguration continues, many conservatives are celebrating the end of Biden’s tenure. “The nightmare is over,” one user declared, echoing the sentiment of those eager for the upcoming change in leadership.
