President Joe Biden said “do whatever the hell they want,” paused, and then said, “I guess I should clear my mind here a little bit.”President Joe Biden speaks Feb. 16, 2024, about the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in the White House’s Roosevelt Room.

After Russian opposition leader Alexei A. Navalny died, President Joe Biden criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin and praised Navalny as a"powerful voice for the truth." Biden also criticized former President Donald Trump’s remarks in which he recounted an anecdote from his presidency during which he said that Russia could do"whatever the hell they want" to a NATO ally if that country didn’t pay up for collective defense.A political ad mocking President Joe Biden uses a partial clip from a press conference to create the impression that Biden froze in silence. Biden did pause — right before ripping into his rival, former President Donald Trump. The ad by MAGA Inc., which supports Trump, left that part out. It then shows Biden pausing, with a few blinks and mumbles, for about eight seconds."I guess I should clear my mind here a little bit," he says after the silence.:"We can all see Joe Biden’s weakness. If Biden wins, can he even survive till 2029? The real question is, can we?"The ad sends a message: Biden, 81, is old. He is stumbling, verbally and physically, and can’t find his words to deliver a coherent sentence.among voters about Biden’s age. A February New York Times/Siena poll showed that 73% of all registered voters said Biden was too old to be effective while 42% said the same for TrumpBiden praised Navalny as a"powerful voice of the truth" and said Russian President Vladimir Putin was"responsible for his death." Biden also discussed Trump’s comments at a rally days earlier, when Trump said he told an unnamed North Atlantic Treaty Organization country leader that Russia could"All of us should reject the dangerous statements made by the previous president that invited Russia to invade our NATO allies if they weren’t paying up. He said if an ally did not pay their dues, he’d encourage Russia to, quote, ‘do whatever the hell they want.’""I guess I should clear my mind here a little bit and not say what I’m really thinking. But let me be clear: This is an outrageous thing for a president to say. I can’t fathom. I can’t fathom. From Truman on, they’re rolling over in their graves hearing this. "As long as I’m president, America stands by our sacred commitment to our NATO allies as they have stood by their commitments to us repeatedly. "Putin and the whole world should know: If any adversary were to attack us, our NATO allies would back us. And if Putin were to attack a NATO ally, the United States will defend every inch of NATO territory. Now is the time for even greater unity among our NATO allies to stand up to the threat that Putin’s Russia poses."described the pause as a"dramatic effect, expressing exasperation with Trump." It’s up to listeners to decide whether they viewed that as a rhetorical tool. But the full comments show Biden was delivering a clear message about his view on Trump, NATO and Russia.a clip of Biden saying"Why am I doing this? Why? What is my real aim?" without disclosing that Biden was quoting the pope.The ad from MAGA Inc. portrayed Biden as saying"do whatever the hell they want," pausing, and saying he needed to"clear my mind here a little bit." The ad used a partial moment from a press conference to show Biden as addled. But there are issues with this example. Biden was quoting Trump saying Russia can"do whatever the hell they want" with regard to invading NATO countries that don’t pay for collective defense. Biden’s pause could be deemed artful or awkward, but he said he needed to clear his mind and"not say what I’m really thinking." He launched into a pointed critique, calling Trump’s rhetoric"an outrageous thing for a president to say," and that past presidents were"rolling over in their graves hearing" Trump.The statement contains an element of truth about the pause and some of his words but ignores critical facts that would give a different impression. We rate the ad Mostly False. President Joe Biden said “do whatever the hell they want,” paused, and then said, “I guess I should clear my mind here a little bit.”“We cut the federal deficit by $160 billion because Medicare will no longer have to pay those exorbitant prices to Big Pharma.” Nevada database glitch showing voters cast ballots when they didn’t is evidence that voting by mail is “the largest source of potential voter fraud.” Donald Trump’s fine in the New York fraud case “is a form of Navalny, it is a form of communism or fascism.” Biden’s strategy is to “get as many illegals in the country as possible” and “legalize them to create a permanent majority.”“That’s why they are allowing these people to come in — people that don’t speak our language — they are signing them up to vote.” "In actuality, there is no evidence Joe Biden won” the 2020 election, citing a report’s allegations from five battleground states. President Joe Biden said “do whatever the hell they want,” paused, and then said, “I guess I should clear my mind here a little bit.”“Al CDC sólo le tomó 4 AÑOS estar de acuerdo con ‘teóricos de la conspiración’ que dijeron en 2020 que: COVID es más o menos como la GRIPE”.
