President Joe Biden angrily snapped at reporters when asked a question about his age Sunday following a White House event to celebrate the signing of the Social Security Fairness Act into law. “My being the oldest president, I know more world leaders than any one of you ever met in your whole goddamn life,” Biden said. This is not the first time the president has snapped at reporters, with a November 2024 incident seeing the president tell a reporter “Do you think you can keep from getting hit in the head by a camera behind you?” after being asked whether or not he could reach a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas by the end of his term. The president also reportedly became agitated when asked about his past comments about his successor, President-elect Donald Trump, being a potential “threat” to democracy. “I think what he did was a genuine threat to democracy,” Biden said.
