During President Joe Biden’s trip to Finland, several incidents drew attention and criticism. Firstly, his mental acuity was questioned when he confused Iceland and Ireland while making remarks to a reporter. Additionally, during a press conference, he made an odd comment suggesting that a reporter might not make it home. Despite Finland’s recent inclusion in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Biden confidently declared that Russian President Vladimir Putin had already lost the war in Ukraine.
However, it was Biden’s departure from Finland that raised eyebrows and sparked controversy. As the president interacted with embassy staff members and their families before boarding Air Force One at Helsinki-Vantaan International Airport, a video captured a moment where he leaned towards a young girl and lightly nibbled at her shoulder. The girl appeared startled and later turned her head when Biden attempted to give her a peck on the head.
The incident ignited a flurry of reactions and criticism. Some likened Biden’s behavior to his previous instances of sniffing women’s hair without their consent, while others made jokes about him confusing babies with ice cream cones.
This eyebrow-raising behavior occurred as Biden concluded his five-day trip to Europe, which included participation in a Lithuanian summit aimed at garnering support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. The trip also sought to emphasize Finland’s NATO membership.
The incidents during Biden’s trip to Finland have added fuel to the ongoing debates surrounding his mental acuity and appropriateness in certain social interactions. Critics argue that his behavior, particularly around children, raises concerns about his fitness for office. Meanwhile, supporters maintain that these instances are simply harmless and do not reflect negatively on his capabilities as president.
