Joe Biden’s presidency has been a relentless parade of embarrassment, but his latest missteps during a trip to Angola are a reminder of just how far he has fallen.

While Democrats tried to shove him aside during the election to salvage their chances, they couldn’t erase the damage he’s done. Now, with President-elect Donald Trump preparing to take office, we’re left to endure the final weeks of a president whose cognitive struggles are on display for all the world to see.

Biden’s visit to Angola was a masterclass in how not to represent the United States on the world stage. He welcomed his hosts by saying, “Welcome to America,” despite being in Africa, called Angola a city, and rambled incoherently about his family. These gaffes are the stuff of late-night comedy, but they’re no joke when they come from the man ostensibly leading the free world.

Perhaps the most tone-deaf moment came when Biden pledged $1 billion to Africa for disaster relief. Meanwhile, Americans are still struggling in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, with many living in tents and braving the cold. This kind of misplaced priority highlights how detached Biden is from the realities faced by the very people he’s supposed to serve.

But if Biden’s Angola blunders weren’t enough, his performance at the Lobito Corridor Trans Africa Summit on Wednesday was even more humiliating. Footage shows Biden appearing to nod off during the summit, his head visibly bobbing as another leader speaks. The speaker even glances over at him, likely wondering what’s going on.

This isn’t the first time Biden has been caught dozing in public. He’s been seen nodding off at Memorial Day ceremonies and other events. The difference this time? The stakes. Biden’s apparent nap in front of world leaders is a flashing neon sign advertising America’s weakness under his administration.

Biden’s literal and figurative sleepiness is a national security concern. This is the man with access to the nuclear codes, a president who can’t stay awake during critical meetings. While Democrats tried to assure us he was “sharp as a tack,” the evidence suggests otherwise.

It’s clear to everyone, including our adversaries, that Biden is not running the show. Bad actors around the globe are undoubtedly calculating how to exploit these last few weeks of Biden’s presidency. The vacuum of strong leadership is a beacon for those who wish us harm, and the Democrats’ indifference to this reality is as appalling as it is dangerous.
