In yet another such instance, President Joe Biden narrowly averted a potentially devastating error on Tuesday as he assessed his suitability to continue leading the country for four more years in his welcoming address to NATO leaders.The audiences clapping prevented the president, who was obviously reading from a teleprompter, from embarrassing himself when he gave NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg the Presidential Medal of Freedom.FULL SPEECH: President Joe Biden passionately defends democracy, NATO, Ukraine, and rips Putin in a powerful speech at the NATO summit in Washington DC.Worth a watch in its entirety. pic.twitter.com/z4iDhJn9Ga— MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) July 9, 2024Ask the military aide, Biden said while preparing to award Stoltenberg the nations highest civilian honor. Biden then quickly caught himself, while the crowd drowned up the flub with cheers. Correcting himself, he said, Military comes forward while presenting the award without creating another scene.Biden faces a test for his health and mental awareness with the start of the NATO summit on Tuesday, where voters in America and leaders around the world will be watching how he holds up after his car crash debate with Donald Trump, who has continuously mocked him for his actions and gestures, which caught immense limelight and made Biden a symbol of mockery and criticism for his weird actions and absent-mindedness.The president is doing all that he can to convince the public that he is healthy and sound during a recent interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC News. Giving a reason for his hoarse voice, he claims that his poor debate performance was due to a simple cold and it has nothing to do with his growing age or his physical or mental inability to handle a huge country like the USA.At one point during the Stephanopoulos interview conducted recently, Biden said he couldnt remember whether he even watched the debate performance after it took place.
