Staff Reports
President Joe Biden has just finished his tour of Asia, where he made stops in India and Vietnam to strengthen trade relations. This trip, unfortunately, coincided with the 22nd anniversary of the horrific 9/11 attacks. While previous presidents have typically attended memorial ceremonies on this solemn day, Biden decided to commemorate the event on a military base in Alaska. However, it is worth noting that Biden was not actually present at ground zero during the attack, despite what he claimed in his speech. It seems like honesty is not a strong suit for this president.
In addition to his questionable statements, the White House communications team also had a major blunder on social media. During Biden’s visit to Vietnam, a tweet was posted with a picture of him supposedly shaking hands with Vietnamese President Võ Văn Thưởng. However, it turns out that the person in the picture was actually Vuong Dinh Hue, the Chairman of the National Assembly. This embarrassing mistake just goes to show the incompetence of Biden’s team.
YIKES

There’s just one problem—that’s not Thưởng in the picture
It’s Vuong Dinh Hue, Chairman of the National Assembly ? pic.twitter.com/MeVpPzKCbS

According to the Associated Press, Biden’s trip to Asia focused on strengthening partnerships with imperfect allies. As Russia’s aggression towards Ukraine continues, Biden is eager to maintain stability in the Indo-Pacific and Middle East regions. His visit to Vietnam specifically highlighted new business deals and partnerships, emphasizing the Communist government’s elevated relationship with the US. However, it is important to question the wisdom of partnering with a communist regime that suppresses human rights and freedoms.
Overall, Biden’s tour of Asia raises concerns about his honesty and the competence of his team. The president’s false claim about being at ground zero during 9/11 and the social media mishap in Vietnam only add to the growing list of Biden’s blunders. It’s clear that his focus on trade and partnerships may overshadow important moral considerations and the promotion of American values. We need a president who can effectively navigate international relations and clearly represent the interests of the United States.
