Biden continues newfound presidential tradition, turns back on reporters and exits without taking questions
Ignoring shouted questions has become a habit for Biden

President Biden on Thursday continued his tradition of turning his back on reporters and walking away, ignoring shouted questions at the conclusion of prepared remarks.

Biden, speaking from the controversial set across the street from the White House about the response to COVID-19, offered his signature "may God protect our troops" closing line before showcasing his familiar move of quickly exiting as reporters barked "Mr. President" over each other.

BIDEN DOESN'T TAKE QUESTIONS FOR SECOND TIME IN A WEEK AFTER REMARKS ON SHAKY SUPPLY CHAIN

"President Biden walking away there without taking any questions from the press core assembled," Fox News anchor John Roberts said as the event wrapped up.

On Wednesday Biden also turned his back on the press following a bevy of bad news about the economy. Last week, Biden did the same thing following his remarks on a bleak September jobs report. Many have noticed the newfound trend:

Biden has quickly developed a reputation for failing to engage with reporters during his first nine months on the job. Last month, he declined to call on U.S. reporters after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson took questions from reporters from the United Kingdom during an Oval Office meeting. White House reporters made a formal complaint about not getting any formal questions while the British press asked away.

In August, he blew off a question about Afghanistan after offering to take questions at the Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters during comments about Hurricane Ida.

BIDEN REPEATEDLY IMPLIES HE'S NOT IN CHARGE OF WHEN, WHERE HE CAN TAKE QUESTIONS FROM THE PRESS

"I'm not supposed to take any questions but go ahead," Biden told Bloomberg News reporter Jennifer Jacobs.

Jacobs began, "Mr. President, on Afghanistan - "

"I'm not gonna answer on Afghanistan now," Biden interjected before walking away from the podium.

Biden has also repeatedly implied that his handlers set the rules and determine when and where he's allowed to take questions from the press.

The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED.
-BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is.
-They are both card carrying narcissists.
^These are PROVED facts.

To be precise, he doesn't walk away. He kind of shambles away like a superannuated, senile man. And do we really want him to answer questions? Our enemies already know the guy is menatally impaired, but they might not know the extent. If they were to find out when he talks utter gibberish to the reporters, they might nuke us.

I :heart; Q

lil' f'er, are you taking questions?

did the chosen one always take questions?

did he ever give an honest answer?

do you think staring at the sun, and drinking bleach has affected his brain?

for the better, or the worse?
