Joe Biden is ‘the worst he’s ever been’ according to G7 insider

Joe Biden's performance at the recent G7 summit has sparked concern among insiders, who describe it as his "worst ever" showing at a major international gathering.

The 81-year-old President of the United States appeared visibly disoriented and distracted during key moments, raising questions about his ability to effectively lead on the global stage.

During the summit held in Puglia, Italy, global leaders gathered for a group photo session, a customary event at such meetings. However, Biden seemed to lose track of the proceedings and wandered away from the group before Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni gently guided him back.

This incident, captured on camera, sparked concerns about Biden's focus and awareness during critical diplomatic engagements.

Sources within the diplomatic community, speaking anonymously, expressed alarm at Biden's performance. One source noted that while Biden exhibited occasional moments of sharpness and clarity during discussions, there were instances where he appeared to struggle to maintain concentration.

Another insider told the Sun: "It's the worst he has ever been".

Political editor of the Sun Harry Cole, also expressed reservations on Biden's wellbeing.

"My sources, diplomatic sources here, say it is the worst they've ever seen Joe Biden, and he's in a bad way," Cole revealed. "He's losing focus in meetings. Sometimes he's very sharp sometimes, he's very much not. So some worrying developments there. Last night there was an awkward moment with President Biden where he was looking very doddery."

The awkward moment during the photo session was just one of several instances where Biden's behavior raised eyebrows among fellow leaders and observers.

At a separate event, Biden and other world leaders observed parachute jumpers descending from the sky, holding flags of allied nations. While the display was intended to symbolize unity and strength, Biden turned away from the group as they clapped for the jumpers, standing still with a grin on his face.

His decision to shuffle away from the group prompted puzzled looks from leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Giorgia Meloni, noticing Biden's departure from the group, quickly intervened, guiding him back towards the other leaders and the awaiting photographers. As they posed for the photograph, Biden paused to slowly put on his aviator sunglasses.

In response to the footage of Biden's actions, White House press secretary Andrew Bates defended the president's behavior, attributing it to Biden's effort to acknowledge a diver on the ground. Bates criticized the media for focusing narrowly on isolated incidents that, he argued, did not reflect the broader context of Biden's engagement at the summit.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of the United Kingdom offered a supportive explanation for Biden's actions, telling journalists on Friday: "From what I remember, he went to go and shake all their hands. As far as I’m aware, he went over to talk to some of the the parachutes jumpers to say thank you or hello to them individually."

The G7 summit, despite Biden's perceived struggles, resulted in significant agreements among world leaders, including a historic deal to provide $50 billion in financial assistance to Ukraine. The agreement, aimed at bolstering Ukraine's defenses against Russian aggression, drew sharp criticism from the Kremlin, which denounced the move as "cynical and criminal."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, addressing the assembled leaders, emphasized the urgency of supporting Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia. The financial aid package, endorsed by leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, marked a substantial commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and security.
