  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 Chainese🇨🇳 are unattrative and rude.

  3. The IOC should move the Tokyo 🇯🇵 Games to 2022, and
    – cancel the Beijing 🇨🇳 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
