Joe Biden’s recent visit with the Boston Celtics at the White House has become yet another cringe-worthy episode in his ongoing tenure as president. As he fumbled through the event, it became glaringly apparent that he might be more suited for a retirement home than the Oval Office. The occasion was meant to celebrate the Celtics’ 18th NBA championship win, but Biden’s mental slip-ups stole the show.
During his speech, Biden seemed completely bewildered, not knowing who exactly stood behind him. In a moment that could only be described as unsettling, he remarked on the team’s victory while expressing confusion about their identity. It is comical and troubling, considering that the Celtics are not exactly a small-time basketball team. If the president can’t keep track of such a prominent franchise, what does that say about his grasp on more critical national issues, like foreign policy or border security?
Joe Biden welcomed NBA champions the Bostin Celtics to the White House, and, of course, his first act was forgetfulness. Either he was joking because he always forgets who everyone is, or because he thought the Celtics would fade at the end of the season like some predicted. pic.twitter.com/hnORBGXc3L

The president’s musings didn’t stop there. As he struggled to recall the name of the championship-winning team, he caught himself in a moment of self-correction. “2024 NBA Champions, the Bal…you’re Celtics, right?” he blurted out. One could only wonder if he was trying to conjure up some forgotten team from an era long past or perhaps mix them up with another organization. Such gaffes raise serious concerns about Biden’s fitness to lead, especially when he holds the nuclear codes, an unsettling fact for all Americans.
Moreover, amid the laughter and disbelief, Biden was gifted a jersey with the number “46” emblazoned on it — an ironic reminder of his role as the 46th president and an echo of his administration’s often questionable decisions. Meanwhile, a jersey intended for Kamala Harris was also presented, raising eyebrows among fans. Many expressed their disdain online, joking that the “18” on the Celtics’ jerseys might represent the number of states Harris won during her campaign, a nod to her less-than-stellar political track record.
Adding to the spectacle, Biden cheerfully shared his Secret Service code name, which he probably should have kept to himself. It turns out it’s “Celtic,” a nod to his Irish roots. In a world filled with so many pressing issues, it’s hard to fathom why the commander-in-chief is still sharing trivial tidbits about himself instead of addressing the disastrous state of affairs in the country; whether it’s unyielding inflation or the border crisis, the priorities seem more misplaced than ever.
While the celebration of the Celtics should have been a moment of unity and cheer, it instead served as a glaring reminder of the cracks in this administration. As Biden stumbles through public appearances, many Americans are left anxiously anticipating the day when a more competent leader might step back into the role, steering the nation back on track. Until that day arrives, the spectacle of President Biden will likely continue to astound, amuse, and certainly perplex citizens across the nation.
