There’s a reason that Joe Biden rarely goes off script and always uses note cards.
It’s because whenever he attempts to answer questions on the fly from reporters, disaster strikes.
Joe Biden just snapped at a female reporter for CNN for asking him why he thought Russian President Vladimir Putin would change his behavior.
Biden responded:
“I’m not confident he’ll change his behavior. What in the hell, what do you do all the time?”
After the CNN reporter, Kaitlan Collins, tried to speak again Biden stuck his finger out and continued:
“Let’s get this straight. I said what will change their behavior is if the rest of the world reacts to them and diminishes their standing in the world. I’m not confident of anything. I’m just stating a fact.”
This is why Biden always mentions that he’ll “get in trouble” with his staff if he says too much.
Fox News has more on Biden's outburst:
President Biden snapped at a reporter at the end of his press conference Wednesday in Geneva after she asked why he was "confident" Russian President Vladimir Putin would change his previously malign behavior.
Biden, who was walking away after saying he was committed to freeing Americans imprisoned in Russia, whirled around at his questioner and said, "I'm not confident he'll change his behavior. What in the hell, what do you do all the time?"
As CNN's Kaitlan Collins tried to speak, Biden stuck up a finger and continued, "When did I say I was confident? Let's get this straight. I said what will change their behavior is if the rest of the world reacts to them and diminishes their standing in the world. I'm not confident of anything. I'm just stating a fact."
"But given his past behavior has not changed, and in that press conference after sitting down with you for several hours, [Putin] denied any involvement in cyber attacks, he downplayed human rights abuses, he even refused to say [Russian dissident] Alexei Navalny's name. So, how does that account to a constructive meeting?" Collins asked.
"If you don't understand that, you're in the wrong business," Biden said, before finally walking away.

The media was not happy with Biden's aggressive response.
It's okay though, because Biden did apologize later for being "such a wise guy."
Well...
At least he didn't post a mean tweet.
