Some observers claim President Joe Biden looked lost Thursday after finishing a speech on supply chain issues in Greensboro, North Carolina.

In video widely mocked on social media, Biden wrapped up his speech with "God bless you all," then appeared to turn to shake someone's hand. But there was no one on stage with him, and no one from the applauding crowd at the side of the stage approached the president to respond with a handshake.
Some also said the 79-year-old seemed confused as he left the stage.
Biden also claimed during the 40-minute speech that he had once been a "full professor."
"I've been at a lot of university campuses. Matter of fact, for four years I was a full professor at the University of Pennsylvania," the presedent said.
Although Biden was named Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor by the school in 2017, he did not teach regular classes there. He did, however, make about a dozen public appearances on the campus and reportedly collected pay checks in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
Several recent videos have surfaced that have been claimed to show brain lapses by the president.
