President Joe Biden was recently mocked on a hilarious St. Patrick’s Day parade float in Wisconsin. An individual on the back of a trailer covered in Trump signs comically depicted some of the stereotypical elderly mannerisms the president displays while wearing a Joe Biden mask.
With an ice cream cone in hand, the individual aimlessly stumbles around the trailer bed while extending his arm to give handshakes to people who aren’t there. The impersonation was so spot on that, at first glance, one might be forgiven for thinking Joe Biden himself made an appearance on the parade float.
Furthermore, the Biden impersonator also wore a pair of athletic shoes with his suit, seemingly taking a dig at Biden’s “lifestyle sneakers.” Social media has recently criticized the president for wearing these special shoes to prevent him from losing his balance and falling over.
Users on social media commented on how accurate and hilarious the parade float’s depiction of Joe Biden was. “Priceless, the guy nailed Biden 100%,” one person wrote. “That is hysterical and tragic both at the same time,” another person said. “Mockery is the best medicine,” another user added.
However, others pointed out the sobering nature of realizing this is the state of America’s commander-in-chief. “Joey is being made fun of across the globe and domestically in the US. What does that tell you?” said one individual.
Ahead of the presidential election later this year, Joe Biden’s elderly age, alongside his questionable cognitive and physical abilities, has become a top-of-mind concern for many American voters. NBC News recently reported on the results of a poll that determined 76% of voters expressed concerns about Biden’s age.
“I think that [Biden’s] health and age kind of get in the way of his ability to be a good president of the United States,” said a female Democratic poll participant from Wisconsin, who claimed to have voted for Biden in the last election.
Furthermore, the American Tribune reported on the transcripts from the interview between Joe Biden and Special Counsel Robert Hur, which has raised considerable concern about Biden’s mental health. According to the transcripts, Biden appeared to have great difficulty recalling specific details around significant events such as the death of his son, Beau, and when former President Donald Trump was inaugurated.
“Remember, in this timeframe my son is — either been deployed or is dying … And, and so what was happening, though — what month did Beau die? Oh, God, May 30.” A lawyer present informed the president that the year was “2015.” Biden, replied “Was it 2015 he had died?”
“Trump gets elected in November of 2017?” The lawyers who were present in the room were forced to correct Biden yet again. When told that Trump was elected in 2016, not 2016, he said, “16, 2016, all right, so why do I have 2017 here?” A lawyer then informed him that 2017 is when Trump was inaugurated, and the Obama administration left the White House, telling him, “That’s when you left office.”
