‘Treated Like a Toddler’: Biden Allegedly Complained About Aides’ Response After Gaffe in Ukraine (VIDEO)
By Daily Caller. President Joe Biden complained to friends that his aides “treated him like a toddler” after he made a gaffe about Russian President Vladimir Putin during a speech in Ukraine, according to a new book about Biden’s tenure in the White House.
During a trip to Ukraine in March, Biden gave an address in which he veered from his speech, saying “this man cannot remain in power,” a line that was interpreted as the president calling for a change in Russian leaders, according to Franklin Foer’s book, “The Last Politician: Inside Joe Biden’s White House and the Struggle for America’s Future.” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan reread the line to Biden as he exited the stage, and his aides later issued a statement walking back what the president had said, according to Foer.
“Biden left for home, ending his triumphalist tour, feeling sorry for himself,” Foer writes. “He knew that he had erred, then resented his aides for creating the impression that they had cleaned up his mess. Rather than owning his failure, he fumed to his friends about how he was treated like a toddler. Was John Kennedy ever babied like that?”

‘No One Treats the President of the United States Like a Baby…That’s Ridiculous’: Karine Jean-Pierre Rejects Book’s Claim Biden Thought Aides Treated Him Like a ‘Toddler’ After Putin Gaffe
By Daily Mail. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday rejected a claim made in a new book that said President Joe Biden had fumed over his aides treating him like a ‘toddler’ after his accidental call to remove Russian President Vladimir Putin from power.
In The Last Politician: Inside Joe Biden’s White House and the Struggle for America’s Future, The Atlantic’s Franklin Foer wrote that Biden felt like he was being babied after he quipped that Putin ‘cannot remain in power,’ while addressing a crowd in Warsaw, Poland in March 2022.
During Tuesday’s press briefing, Fox News’ Peter Doocy pointed out that Biden, at age 80, is the ‘oldest president in U.S. history,’ and then asked why White House staff treated him like a ‘baby.’
‘No one treats the president of the United States, the commander-in-chief, like a baby,’ Jean-Pierre answered. ‘That’s ridiculous.’
The press secretary went on to say that there will always be a ‘range of books about every administration’ that are filled with a ‘variety of claims.’ (Read more from “‘No One Treats the President of the United States Like a Baby…That’s Ridiculous’: Karine Jean-Pierre Rejects Book’s Claim Biden Thought Aides Treated Him Like a ‘Toddler’ After Putin Gaffe” HERE)
