Joe Biden’s handlers seem to be more nervous than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Their fear of the President veering off-script has reached such comedic levels that they now resort to feeding him ready-made lines, even in what should be spontaneous moments. It’s like they’re playing a never-ending game of Mad Libs, desperately trying to fill in the blanks for him.
In the land of the free and the home of the brave, Americans have traditionally admired leaders who can think on their feet. But it looks like Team Biden would rather wrap the President in verbal bubble wrap. Scripted spontaneity might be the next big trend for this administration. Maybe next they’ll start scripting his family dinners.

His handlers have been so petrified of him speaking without a teleprompter that they’re reduced to applying scripts to what are supposed to be unscripted moments.

If anyone thought gaffes would become a relic of the past, they were sorely mistaken. Biden’s occasional off-the-cuff remarks are so unpredictable that even his advisors might be clutching their pearls behind the scenes. Clearly, the strategy of coaching appears to be falling flat.
What’s next for Biden? Will he soon require a teleprompter for casual chit-chat with world leaders? Hopefully the First Lady doesn’t start slipping him index cards over breakfast. Time will tell if anyone can pull off this act without the cue cards falling out of the sleeves.
