Political commentators took shots at President Joe Biden after he allegedly offered a handshake to nobody in particular at his Thursday speech in North Carolina.
When the speech ended, the president turned to his right and put out his hand out for a few moments before turning around and roaming the stage for several seconds. He proceeded to the other side of the stage, making another gesture, then shaking hands with attendees in the audience.
WATCH:
The president also unexpectedly turned his back to the audience while telling a story about his father.
“Excuse my back, but I’m look at you,” he said.

Twitter users immediately called Biden’s actions at the end of the speech “elder abuse” and questioned his mental state.
I repeat, where are the White House and Biden family handlers whose job it is to make him look good? This is truly bizarre, unless they WANT him to look like a dementia patient. https://t.co/AGtTnqtxPm

All of the leading doctors agree that shaking hands with the air is just a symptom of a stutter https://t.co/A4OnOEXuUB

Oh man. The music makes it 10x worse. This man is unfit to be President. Period. https://t.co/FYMHTKUFQQ

This man is supposed to be leading the free world at a time of heightened international tension and danger.
I did warn of this before he was elected. You can’t vote for someone just because of who he is not, that’s not enough.https://t.co/HqCmBUNcVO— Andrew Bridgen (@ABridgen) April 16, 2022

Our @POTUS turned around and tried to shake hands with literally NO ONE standing there.
This is incredibly embarrassing and HE IS LEADING OUR COUNTRY!
Enough already!#ImpeachBiden

After another error-strewn, rambling speech in North Carolina, Joe Biden appeared to perform a random ‘air handshake’ while once again appearing confused as to where he was going.https://t.co/hcVbKYyQmF

The president addressed the administration’s efforts on combating inflation at the A&T State University, the largest historically Black college in the country (HCBU), according to McClatchy DC Bureau. A Bureau of Labor Statistics statement said the speech would “discuss his Administration’s efforts to make more in America, rebuild our supply chains here at home, and bring down costs for the American people as part of Building a Better America.”
Inflation hit a four-decade high Tuesday with the announcement that the March Consumer Price Index soared 8.5%. In response, White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed the administration’s past claims that inflation is “transitory” at Wednesday’s press briefing.

“Does the White House still view inflation as transitory?” Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked.
“That is the view of the Federal Reserve and outside economists, and they all continue to project it will come down this year,” the press secretary said.
During a Tuesday speech in Iowa, a white substance appeared to have landed on the president’s shoulder, causing several Twitter users to immediately mock him via Twitter.
