The President of Platitudes
14th June 2021
President Joe Biden turned up almost three hours late to his Nato press conference tonight. He offered no apology, because, well, why should he? He then gave a short speech. It was adequate enough, albeit predictable and rigid — read as it was almost entirely from a teleprompter. Still, it wouldn’t be Biden without a gaffe. He managed to stumble early by saying ‘we’re still averaging in the last seven days the loss of 300 deaths per day.’
