President Joe Biden faced widespread ridicule on social media Monday night following his televised speech, during which his skin seemed to have an orange hue, possibly due to a spray tan. This tan was likely a response to criticism of his performance at the recent debate, which raised concerns about his age and cognitive abilities. After delivering a brief speech from a teleprompter regarding the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, the president left without taking questions from the press. Many commentators saw this as a mere attempt to reassure the public about his capabilities, with his orange appearance drawing the most mockery, reminiscent of former President Donald Trump.
Yea they’re going to have to drop the “orange man” attack after tonight!
