Today at the G7 Summit: Joe Biden, who very clearly has no idea where he is or what is going on, starts to slowly wander away from a photo op and has to be corralled by other G7 leaders (streamable.com)

I dunno, I know his brain is cooked, but this isn't really a good example. It seems more like they were done taking a picture and he decided to go check out the parachute guy. And then they called him back and said "hey we gotta take more pictures." I can understand being annoyed with standing there to take a picture and wanting to get the fuck out.

Kinda agree, I would 100% do the same, but I stop and realise that this is the POTUS and like... unfortunately there isn't the leeway to go wandering off when there's a dozen cameras pointed at you.

Yeah, if you start watching at 8:15:00 (holy shit, that's a massive video full of boring shit) it's pretty clear there's a lot of stuff going on around them, including behind them. He even gives a thumbs up before the wandering off. So there was something he was attracted to back there. It's possible he didn't realize that they were about to get spoken to because they were just standing there for a while already without anyone talking to them. I kinda don't blame him for wandering off and doing his own thing with so much going on and no one engaging them.

That being said, his facial expression and slowness still look like shit.
