President Joe Biden, 81, continued his record in 2023 of awkward and embarrassing moments, as well as alarming incidents demonstrating cognitive decline.
Below are the five top worst moments for Biden in 2023:
1) Joe Biden Took a Huge Fall on Stage at the Air Force Academy Graduation in June:
A video shows Biden, then 80, start to walk quickly off center stage when he trips and stumbles, tumbling to his knees and nearly ending up on all fours. Personnel quickly picked him up before he hobbled behind a barrier. According to the White House pool report, he seemed to trip “on a black sandbag on the stage” but appeared “to be ok and continued to stand until the ceremony ended a few minutes later.”

2) Biden Lied in April About Being Born in the Same Hospital in Which His Grandfather Died
While speaking at North America’s Building Trades Unions Legislative Conference at the Washington Hilton, Biden lied about his birth — one of many lies throughout the years. “My grandpop, who I never met, died in the same hospital I was born in two weeks before I was born,” Biden claimed. “My grandpop was, as they say in Maryland, from ‘Blamer.’” The Biden family lineage says otherwise. Biden’s grandfather died in September 1941 in Baltimore, according to the Baltimore Sun. Joe Biden was born in November 1942.
3) Biden Claimed in December That He Never Met Hunter Biden’s Associates
Biden claimed “it’s a bunch of lies” that he interacted with Hunter Biden’s foreign business associates. “I did not,” he alleged when asked during a press conference on Wednesday. Photos show Joe Biden met with Hunter’s associates.
