  1. I thought it was going to be Biden finally explaining “Truininatrabadapressure”
    & “badakathcare”

  2. How can he mix up like that.
    Japanese are polite and beautiful
    – while ChaineseπŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ are unattrative and rude.

  3. The IOC should move the Tokyo πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ Games to 2022, and
    – cancel the Beijing πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ 2022 Winter Games.
    – A human rights-abusive regime can’t host an Olympic game.

  4. This is no joking matter, shameful behaviour. Send him home before more of an embarrassment is made

  5. Slip of the tongue, what big fuss !!! Making fool of yourself @@@😳😡😳😡😳😡
