Surprise, surprise…
Another day, another missed opportunity for Joe Biden to speak to the press.
As Joe Biden arrived at NATO, members of the White House were seen swatting away the press.
You can hear these officials on camera saying:
No, no, no, no, no!
But more embarrassing is the fact that other world leaders took questions.
That’s right:
Joe Biden, the supposed leader of the Free World, appeared to be the only world leader who didn’t answer questions.

President Biden has arrived at NATO – he is the only world leader who has not stopped to speak to press so far.

It appears that the White House is always in panic mode when Biden isn’t reading from a teleprompter.
Given the state of the world, we don’t blame them.
Becker News confirms the panic from White House officials:
President Joe Biden arrived in Brussels, Belgium on Thursday for a critical NATO summit. Reporters hurled questions at the president, who promptly ignored them.
“Biden arrives at NATO, but refused to take questions,” RNC Research tweeted. “Most other world leaders took questions.”
[…]
The emergency meeting was the first of three major events on Biden’s calendar Thursday. Biden will also meet with the G-7 group and European Union officials.
But that wasn’t the only news coming from the summit.
Biden himself announced that the United States would “respond” if Russia uses chemical or nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

Just watched Biden's entire NATO press conference in Brussels. He barely took any questions and didn't say anything substantive. Made no case for why he is even traveling to Europe right now

Biden has been in Brussels for the NATO talks for over a day now. He has yet to speak to reporters. Just like back home.

Just moments ago…
After Biden finished his keynote speech, Biden finally took questions from the press.
However, it isn’t clear whether these were truly open questions from the press.
Or if these were pre-screened questions.
Regardless, Joe Biden SNAPPED at a reporter asking a simple question.
According to The Hill:
President Biden on Thursday had a sharp response to a reporter who asked why he though the latest sanctions would change Russian President Vladimir Putin’s behavior after previous steps did not stop Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Let’s get something straight … I did not say that in fact the sanctions would deter him,” Biden said at a press conference from Brussels, where he is meeting with NATO leaders.
“Sanctions never deter — you keep talking about that — sanctions never deter. The maintenance of sanctions, the maintenance of sanctions, the increasing the pain and the demonstration, why I asked for this NATO meeting today, is to be sure that after a month, we will sustain what we’re doing not just next month, the following month, but for the remainder of this entire year, that’s what will stop him,” the president said, raising his voice.
Asked if he believes NATO’s latest actions on Thursday will lead Russia to change course, Biden said, “That’s not what I said. You’re playing a game with me.”
“The answer’s no,” he added.
The Biden administration on Thursday announced sanctions on more than 300 Russian lawmakers and dozens of state-owned companies that are connected to the war effort in the invasion of Ukraine.
Additionally, NATO announced the establishment of four new battle groups in Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary and agreed to strengthen cyber defenses and equipment to help Ukraine, including providing detection equipment, protection and medical supplies, and training for decontamination and crisis management.
It’s been a little over a year since Biden has been in the White House.
So…
What do you think?
Do you feel safer with Joe Biden in the Oval Office?
Or do you miss the strength and leadership of President Trump?
