'He isn't even in charge of his ice-cream order': Trolls hit out at Joe Biden after bizarre statement at factory

Joe Biden's tour of South Korean company CS Wind’s facility in Pueblo, Colorado was marked by blunders and failed jokes

PUEBLO, COLORADO: President Joe Biden became the target of fresh, intense trolling after his joke about nuclear bombs fell flat on Wednesday, November 29.

The 81-year-old POTUS was touring South Korean company CS Wind’s facility in Pueblo, Colorado when he approached three yellow-vested workers, one of whom asked him an inaudible question.

“Now look, my, my marine carries that. It has a code to blow up the world. That doesn't, this is not....nuclear weapons is it....alright, ok...you think I'm kidding,” Biden replied to the worker’s question, according to Daily Mail.

The codes necessary to launch nuclear weapons are kept in a black container known as the "nuclear football" and are found on a card known as the "nuclear biscuit." However, the "nuclear football" is officially known as the Presidential Emergency Satchel.

The heavy case is carried by a military officer, who stays close to the president whether he is leaving a meeting with foreign leaders or boarding a helicopter.

Joe Biden calls his predecessor 'Congressman Trump'

Moments after cracking the joke, Biden made several other blunders during his 23-minute speech. “I am friends with your leader, Mr Moon, you know,” Biden told corporate leaders, seemingly referring to the former president of South Korea, Moon Jae-in, who left office in 2022.

The current South Korean president, Yoon Suk Yeol, has interacted with Biden at many events and was even honored by Biden in April at his second state dinner since taking office.

The errors didn't stop there, as the president brought up Trump in what the White House had claimed was an attempt to criticize Rep Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) for standing against Biden-backed economic bills.

“We can use [a billionaire minimum tax] to strengthen the Social Security and Medicare system instead of cutting them like Congressman Trump and Boebert want to do,” Biden said, according to the New York Post.

The 77-year-old Trump, the front-runner for the Republican nomination in the upcoming election, fought attempts by some fellow Republicans to change Social Security during his presidency.

Internet reacts to Joe Biden’s joke about 'code to blow up the world'

Biden’s remarks have garnered immense social media attention, with users trolling him for the joke about nuclear bombs. “He's not even in charge of his ice cream order,” one user said.

“Except Joe is not in charge of anything at all. Nothing,” a second user trolled. “It is scary at this point. How anyone can honestly say this man should be leading our nation is beyond me. I don't care if you're a Republican or Democrat. He is not well!” another person insisted.

“I'm more worried about his staff than him since they are the ones who would tell him to use the codes. They are a seriously challenged group of people,” another person slammed, as a fifth challenged, “I would be willing to bet Joe doesn’t have access to the codes.”

“Get this man out of the white house as soon as possible... He will become a bigger and bigger problem... He might do something really wrong,” another user warned. “Did he just try and make a joke about blowing up the world with nuclear weapons? Come on man!” one more said.
