Donald Trump has aired concerns about Joe Biden’s health, a professional lip reader alleges, as the duo made their entrance into the Capitol Building.
The incumbent President touched down in Washington today, January 20, with ex-President Biden ahead of being inaugurated as the nation’s 47th leader.
Exchanging words while navigating the halls of the Capitol, lip reader specialist Jeremy Freeman suggests that Trump, aged 78, voiced his unease regarding Biden’s health.
As they stepped into the Capitol, Biden is alleged to have remarked to Trump: “I feel rough, it was a late one last night.”
President Trump’s worry for Biden’s state emerged as he responded: “I know, you look rough,” reports the Irish Star.
Continuing their promenade, the pair exchanged polite gestures with bystanders before pausing in a holding area. Earlier, the Trumps and Bidens had convened for tea at the White House, rekindling ceremonial acts symbolising the smooth transition of authority in the US.
A star-studded lineup was noted within the Capitol, counting global leaders and some of Earth’s wealthiest figures.
Reporting from Sky News disclosed laughter and cordial exchanges featuring Argentina’s president Javier Milei earlier in the day, followed by sightings of Elon Musk’s arrival. The Tesla and SpaceX magnate played a pivotal role in clinching Trump’s victory in the November elections.
Subsequently, billionaire Jeff Bezos appeared at the Capitol alongside the UK’s former Prime Minister Boris Johnson who was also observed arriving.
Just before leaving office, Joe Biden pardoned his siblings and their spouses, stating that his family had been “subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me – the worst kind of partisan politics”.
“Unfortunately, I have no reason to believe these attacks will end,” he added.
In the final moments of his presidency, he issued a series of pardons and commutations, including for aides and allies who had been targeted by Donald Trump.
None of them have been charged with any crimes. Last month, he pardoned his son Hunter for tax and gun crimes.
