      His Twitter page speaks for the US government (@POTUS). This reflects poorly on the US, if nothing else.

        Dude if you’ve ever struggled getting your pants legs onto your legs this past month I don’t want to hear a fucking thing from you about some intern uploading DCIM_2938484.jpg instead of DCIM_2938483 as a pic for a post on a goddamn microblog site

          So the US cares so little for it’s relationship with Vietnam that it can’t be bothered to find an intern they can put on their pants?

          Yup, US is telling Vietnam that they care about the relationship so much that they just had some intern post random pics without anybody actually bothering to even check who’s in them.

      At this point I’d be surprised if Joe was capable of wiping his own ass without assistance.

      edit: thanks for letting me know just how triggered y’all are 😂

        Buying into the bullshit I see. Great look my guy. Even if it were true (it’s not), you’re gonna have a real hard sell trying to prove that point when 3 years of Biden looks a whole hell of a lot less demented and more cohesive than 4 years of Trump.

        One comes off as an old man who still has his faculties. The other comes off as a raving madman who can barely string a cohesive string of words together without everyone in the room struggling to figure out if he had a stroke or not.

        While there’s a lot to be said about the elderly being in these extremely important political roles, I’ll take 8 years of Biden over one more second of Trump or any of the next 6 republican candidates combined.

        To come to any other conclusion after everything we have seen is essentially an endorsement of madness and anti American propaganda perpetuated by internal traitors and external enemies. Full stop. No debate.

        So in so many words, congratulations, you played yourself. And we are here to see it. That’s not embarrassing or anything.

            Does this somehow absolve you of a shit take? No it does not. Don’t get mad because you got called on it. Be mad at yourself for failing to think critically.

              The only shit take is your own. Biden is very obviously is not mentally suited to run a country, and the fact that your democratic party can’t find anybody more competent says volumes about how far the collapse of your empire has progressed. The only one getting made here is you while spewing a bunch of nonsense. Maybe try to take your own advice and try to think critically about what’s happening in the shithole you inhabit.

                  Take a read through OPs post history. They and their identical alts are bought and paid for astroturfing accounts.

                  Watching y’all rage here when somebody points out that Biden is not mentally competent and the fact that it’s the best dems have to offer is the height of comedy. Your empire is collapsing and you bozos don’t even realize it. Life is gonna get so hard for you going forward. I’d almost feel bad for you if you weren’t so insufferable. You deserve everything that’s coming to you. Go ahead and downvote.

    I was prepared to almost defend them if the photo had been of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, since he has more de facto power in Vietnam than the President does and you can kinda see how that mistake would have been made. Even then it would have been an awful blunder that someone whose literal job is to represent his country to the leaders of other countries shouldn’t be making (and neither should his PR team), but you could follow how it happened.

    But it’s not even that. It’s the Chairman of the National Assembly. The equivalent of the US Speaker of the House. Pretty indefensible blunder.

        This is a massive diplomatic error from the US government. In fact, it came from the US government Twitter handle @POTUS. Just because an aide made the issue doesn’t make this issue not reflect poorly on the US.

      since he has more de facto power in Vietnam than the President does

      I get what you are saying, but I would expect whoever runs the US President’s social media accounts to understand that ‘President’ is a figurehead position in a lot of countries. Our President probably has less actual power than our PM, Speaker, (federal) ministers and even the Vice-President.
