They call him “Sleepy Joe” for a reason…
President Biden was caught nodding off during a summit with African leaders in Lobito, Angola, this week. 82-year-old Biden was seen closing his eyes during remarks from Tazania’s Vice President Philip Mpango.
Biden’s eyes remained closed for more than a minute.
“Joe Biden fell asleep during a meeting with African leaders today,” Outkick founder Clay Travis posted on X. “He’s sharp as a tack though! Honestly, this feels intentional. Who puts an 82 year old on a plane for a THREE DAY trip to Africa?! Three days! So dumb.”
Jake Schneider, who was the rapid response director for President-elect Trump’s campaign, quipped, “Biden literally falls asleep during his own meeting in Africa. Who’s running the country?”
Earlier this week, Biden announced one billion dollars in new aid to Africa.
“The United States continues to be the world’s largest provider of humanitarian aid and development assistance. That’s going to increase, you know, that’s the right thing for the wealthiest nation in the world to do,” Biden said while speaking in Angola. “Today I’m announcing over $1 billion in new humanitarian support for Africans displaced from homes by historic droughts and food insecurity. We know African leaders and citizens are seeking more than just aid. You seek investment.”
