Of course, people took to social media to comment on the viral moment. One person wrote, "So embarrassing," while another said, "Our enemies must be shaking in their boots."
A third person added, "Time to go home. Pathetic at such a solemn ceremony. We shouldn't laugh at this. Instead we should recognize the Commander-in-Chief is incapable of being the CnC.

“We’ll have something that we do not seek — make it clear we do not seek — we do not seek to have American troops fighting in Russia,” he said.

“I tell you what, someone said, ‘You know what? That Biden, he’s getting old, man. I tell you what,'” Biden, 80, said to members of the Sheet Metal Workers union on Monday, September 4. “Well, guess what? Guess what?

Meanwhile, Democratic strategist David Axelrod believes Biden should drop out altogether.
"The @POTUS is justly proud of his accomplishments. Trump is a dangerous, unhinged demagogue whose brazen disdain for the rules, norms, laws and institutions or democracy should be disqualifying. But the stakes of miscalculation here are too dramatic to ignore," he wrote on X. "Only @JoeBiden can make this decision. If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it's in HIS best interest or the country's?"
