This isn’t the first time Biden has filmed a handshake scene. In April, after speaking at North Carolina State Agricultural and Technical University, The Democrat stepped down from the pulpit, turned to the right, and held out his hand, as if to shake someone’s hand. But there was no one there.
An excerpt from a comedy show Studio 22, aired in Saudi Arabia, went viral on social media. The video portrays Biden as incapacitated. The sketch also teases US Vice President Kamala Harris.
The actor playing the Democrat is unaware of his surroundings and looks like he’s about to fall asleep.. Kamala’s character tells the president what to say and do. At the end of the video, Biden finally falls asleep.
“Thank you very much! Today we will talk about the crisis in Spain,” Biden said. “Yes, we will talk about the crisis in Africa. Yes, Russia! I want to talk about Russian President Putin. Yes, Putin.

Hours after it was revealed that the FBI raided his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, Donald Trump posted a campaign video on his Pravda social network, fueling rumors that he was preparing to announce his re-election to the presidency.
The video, which is nearly four minutes long, begins in black and white with the sound of thunder and the former president’s voice announcing that America is “a nation in decline.”
Trump lists what he says are the country’s problems and failures, and then the video is shown in color with an upbeat message because “soon we’ll have greatness again.”
Rumors that Donald Trump wants to announce his re-run in the 2024 presidential election have been circulating for weeks and have been resurrected with this video posted today after the searches, which point to a criminal investigation into the former president.
Speaking at the conservative CPAC forum on Saturday about a possible 2024 candidacy, Trump said “maybe it needs to be done” while presenting himself as “harassed” by Democrats.
“If I had stayed at home, the persecution of Donald Trump would have stopped immediately, but I can’t do that because I love my country and I love the people.”he said.
“America’s return will begin in November and will continue at an unstoppable pace that we will create in November 2024.”said another in a speech for almost two hours.
Reacting to the search for a potential Republican nominee, former U.S. Attorney Dennis Aftergut told NBC News today that the Justice Department’s move against Trump would “only spur” his presidential ambitions.
“Trump may believe that the indictment will help his political profile by furthering the campaign’s enduring theme that he is a reviled martyr.”says Aftergut.
The former prosecutor also emphasized that even if Trump is charged and found guilty of the crime, it will be sometime before November 2024, and this will give him the opportunity to say that he will appeal the verdict and may remain in the race.
Political scientist Jeffrey Cummins recently told Lusa that investigating and prosecuting a potential president is uncharted territory in American history.
“It is not clear what will happen if a criminal case is initiated and Trump wins the election. We’ve never had such a situation.”he said.
The events in Mar-a-Lago provoked a strong reaction from conservative commentators and supporters of Donald Trump, some of whom spoke of “war” and “civil war”. Such was the case with white supremacist Nicholas J. Fuentes, website The Gateway Pundit, and commentator Stephen Crowder.
The FBI searches, according to sources cited by various media sources and confirmed by his son Eric Trump, are related to classified documents that Donald Trump removed from the White House and took to his residence in Mar-a-Lago without permission, which is a crime. .
Section 18/2071 of the US Penal Code prohibits the concealment, removal, mutilation, deletion, or destruction of documents belonging to the US government. Punishment can range from a fine to three years in prison, and if convicted, the defendant can no longer hold official positions.
In January, the National Archives discovered that Trump had taken home 15 boxes of documents, including items containing classified national security information, and briefed Congress.
An FBI search warrant had to be authorized by senior Justice Department officials and signed by a federal judge if there were strong indications that a crime had been committed.
With Trump’s possible re-run for president, Trump and the Republican Party are accusing the Justice Department, led by Merrick Garland, of politicizing justice and using it as a weapon against political opponents.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has vowed to investigate Garland and the Department if Republicans regain control in the November midterm elections, as polls predict.
But former U.S. Attorney Brian Jacobs told NPR radio that the political calendar cannot pause or speed up criminal investigations.
“I think prosecutors in the Justice Department know they can’t choose the timing of investigations or criminal charges to influence any election.”.
Donald Trump says he is a “victim” of the FBI. Republicans talk about political attack
After the FBI ransacked the home of the former President of the United States, early Monday morning Donald Trump, several family members and members of the Republican Party point to illegal police actions and “political persecution.”
“After working and cooperating with the relevant government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home is inappropriate,” Donald Trump said in a statement, accusing Democratic rivals of using the U.S. Department of Justice as a weapon to stop him from doing so. run in the 2024 presidential election.
The children of the former president also spoke out in favor of Trump. Eric and Donald Junior say the FBI’s investigation is worthy of a “third world country” and a “banana republic.”
Former Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo believes in a conspiracy against a businessman and political leader: “Overt politicization of the DOJ/FBI is shameful. The Attorney General must explain why these searches delayed justice for 250 years.”
Rep. Ronnie Jackson even says the FBI has “officially become an enemy of the people.”
The FBI is led by Christopher Ray, who was appointed by Donald Trump in 2017. Officially, investigators have not yet commented on the searches, but US media sources indicate that Donald Trump could have taken confidential documents from the White House without permission.
