US President Joe Biden was recently seen with cheat sheets during a press conference at the White House. Biden was discussing growing nuclear threats from North Korea with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol when he revealed a pre-written question from a reporter. The president was photographed holding a small cheat sheet, which had a picture of the reporter and the pronunciation breakdown of her last name. The sheet also had “Question #1” handwritten at the top, suggesting that Biden should call on her first at the conclusion of his remarks. Interestingly, the reporter was called upon first, and her last name was omitted by the president.
Another paper in Biden’s hand showed the names of Biden administration officials to relay the order remarks would be delivered at the press conference. The cheat sheets were dated April 26, 2023.
Biden has been ridiculed in the past for relying on detailed cheat sheets. Despite doctors claiming that Biden is physically fit to run for re-election, critics have said that the White House has lost faith in the 80-year-old commander-in-chief amid concerns about his mental acuity.
Last year during the G20 Bali summit, Biden was spotted using a detailed cheat sheet containing instructions for where to sit, when to deliver remarks, and when to pose for photos. Photos of the instructions were widely shared on social media.
Earlier in June, Joe Biden flashed a plan on how to conduct himself. The paper reportedly directed him to “enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants.” In July 2021, Joe Biden accepted an embarrassing note from an aide, which was also snapped by a photographer, that read, “Sir, there is something on your chin.”
