WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Biden appeared visibly overwhelmed Thursday during an impromptu on-the-record press gaggle until he noticed the answer to a reporter's completely spontaneous, definitely unplanned-in-advance question was pre-written on his note card.
How fortunate!
"I don't know who — what does that even mean?" Biden initially muttered before noticing the answer to the question was written out for him on a little piece of paper. "Wait, yes. Yes, I can answer your question!"
Biden's speech slowed as he read carefully from the notecard: "This is America. I'm calling on all billionaires to pay their fair share. It's common sen... se... uh... well, anyway..."
Although Biden still bungled the prewritten answer to the question, the reporter was kind enough to give him a do-over.
