++Sky News++ captured his words, as he explained: “”Yes, I asked for a review by FIFA. I spoke to a man [Infantino] who is highly respected. I’m the one who got them to do it, not Biden. Biden was asleep.”

I think everyone knows that. Even his supporters know he's an ass. They don't like saying that explicitly so they say stuff like "he just doesn't have a filter" or "he doesn't care about being pc" but that's just window dressing. They like that he's dumb. I can only speculate as to why but my experience says it's true all the same.

Possible that I really don't understand the supporters. I don't want to have someone leading anything, being that dumb.
