He sounds and looks like shit. When he takes questions - he's an angry old man. A bad look.

I can't believe he said Sisi is the president of Mexico. He's supposed to reassure us he's fine and he messes up in front of a press pool that in most circumstances would be predisposed to overlook that.

I'm getting two vibes from Biden.

An angry old man at a Denny's lecturing the waitress about how she got his order wrong and in his day such mistakes would not be tolerated. You'd be out on your ass pronto, missy. Lookin' for new job.
Hillary 2.0. Why is everybody rude to me and calling me "old"? I'm the President of the United States gosh darn it. I deserve respect and it's my turn again.

I think that framing lets Biden off too easy. If he mixes up heads of state, that's bad, but Sisi only came into power 6 years after Biden hit retirement age. Thing is, Biden said Mexico in the context of allowing aid into Gaza. That's mishemisphering a country that's been there his whole life, which is a whole other league of yikes.
