President Biden needed stage directions from a military member during the
solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during
Veterans Day observances at Arlington National Cemetery Saturday.
Biden required assistance from a member of the tombs honor guard to place
the large floral arrangement on a stand set on the plaza in front of the
memorial honoring Americas missing and unidentified war dead.
He stepped back from the wreath and hesitated for a moment before making
the sign of the cross on himself.
He backed away, turned, and took several steps away from the wreath and
then turned back and approached the officer again.
Then he backed away, turned, and took several steps away from the wreath
and then turned back and approaching the officer again.
The military member pointed a gloved hand back toward Vice President
Kamala Harris, who was standing several feet away, and the president
returned to his mark beside her.
Harris and Denis McDonough, Bidens Secretary for Veterans Affairs, both
appeared to be suppressing grins as the president dithered.
Republicans expressed dismay at Bidens obvious confusion.
God help us, New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew told The Post.
We have a president that doesnt know whether hes coming or going.
Just when you thought it couldnt get worse, it does, said Rep. Darrell
Issa of California.
Its sad to see President Bidens cognitive impairment over and over
again, said Staten Islands Rep. Nicole Malliotakis.
How is he running for re-election?
Former president Donald Trump, speaking at a campaign rally in a high
school gym in Claremont, New Hampshire, mocked Biden for his regular bouts
of directional confusion.
We have a guy in the White House who cant put two sentences together,
who couldnt find his way off this stage, Trump said, gesturing to the
gyms small stage prompting laughter from the crowd.
And this is the guy we have negotiating with Putin and with President Xi
of China, Trump said.
Biden, in a 14-minute speech following the wreath-laying ceremony during
Arlingtons 70th annual National Veterans Day Observance, again invoked
the memory of his late son Beau, who served a year-long Iraq deployment as
a member of the National Guard.
On this day, I can see my son, standing ramrod straight as I pinned his
bars on him the day that he joined the Army National Guard in Delaware,
Biden said.
I can still feel the overwhelming pride.
The president also stumbled over the acronym LGBTQ+ as he attempted to
boost his administrations policies regarding gay and transgender military
members.
We have doubled down on our efforts to ensure that no veteran is denied
the honor they earn because there was discharged for being LBTQ plus, he
mumbled.
The Arlington commemoration followed a private reception in the White
House East Room for veterans and military officials.
Biden, who will turn 81 later this month, has made frequent stumbles and
gaffes in recent months as polls show increasing numbers of voters doubt
his ability to handle the rigors of the presidency.
Meanwhile, two of Trumps Republican rivals issued Veterans Day messages
to underscore their personal military ties.
Proud of my veteran Michael Haley and the many men and women who have
served to defend our freedoms, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley posted to
X, along with a photo of her husband Michael, a National Guard officer now
on deployment in Africa.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis posted his thanks for all who have worn the
cloth of our country.

What do you think? Post a comment.
As a veteran myself, I am honored by the unwavering support we receive,
DeSantis, a former Navy lieutenant commander, wrote.
I will always have the backs of our vets.
