Remember when President Joe Biden was having the “time of his life” less than two weeks ago over in Ireland? Well, it looks like he has forgotten all about it.
On Thursday, the president was stumped by a question at the White House from a child who asked him where the last country he traveled to was.
“I’ve met with 89 heads of state so far,” Biden said, “So, uh, I’m trying to think what’s the last place I was. … It’s hard to keep track … uh.”
“Ireland!” a kid in the crowd yelled.
“Yeah, you’re right, Ireland,” he replied. “That’s what it was. How did you know that?”

Of course, the better question is how the president didn’t know that. Not even 14 days ago, the president was on a quasi-family vacation with his latchkey son Hunter and his sister, Valerie.
This wasn’t any boring trip either. This was a gigantic homecoming for Biden. He even had a jam-packed crowd at one of his rallies for what seemed like the first time since 2008:

He loved it so much that he wanted to stay.
“When you’re here you wonder why anyone would want to leave,” Biden said at a pub.

On Thursday, the president was surrounded by several kids as part of the White House “Take Your Child To Work Day” celebration. White House staff and reporters were welcome to bring their children to the president’s house. He worked the rope line and attempted to answer their questions.

As reported, Biden celebrated “Take Your Child To Work Day” on that Ireland expedition as Hunter joined him as an official umbrella holder. Hunter also helped his dad answer tough questions from kids, such as, “What are the keys to success?”

Perhaps the president stumbled today because he didn’t have a cheat sheet as he did on Wednesday with a pre-selected question and the journalist’s name written on it.
