IMO this photo captures his tenacity and devotion to duty.

1. It's what REAL Presidents do.

[Tommymac]

5. Absolutely.

I remember a former President who skipped out on a ceremony honoring Americans killed in WW1 because it was raining.

[KS Toronado]

35. In all fairness that was because

with his 4.5 IQ, he didn't realize the gravity of the occasion.

2. I love a President who isn't afraid his hair will melt 😬

[Rebl2]

4. ?

Do you mean isn’t afraid his hair will melt

[MLAA]

9. That is exactly what I meant, thanks! I updated my post.

3. I love that photo. Photographing Joe is a pleasure.

[Tommymac]

6. That would be a great job- photographing President Joe.

I'm envious of those who have the opportunity to record his legacy for history.

[Walleye]

7. I got to photograph him for the news journal for 20 years as senator and vice president. A privilege

From time to time in different situations. He would always show up in Wilmington. He was very accessible. Friendly to all the folks. Never hid from the camera. Even when he was grieving. He considered himself a public servant and shared his life with the public

10. Thank you, Walleye. Do you have any published pictures/albums that you can share?

[Walleye]

13. Unfortunately most of them are in the newspaper's archives. If I come across any I'll put them up

[Walleye]

24. This is my own Joe Biden story from my instagram.The print is hanging on my brother's wall now

[Tommymac]

14. Wow. That's great!

8. Biden came down the steps of Air Force One in the middle of a huge snowstorm

26. Trump has 3 inch heels on his shoes lol

He’s always leaning forward ( to minimize his enormous girth)

[nattyice]

37. Must've been those bone spurs

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

11. He looks sharp and in fine shape- very Presidential!

And he doesn't have any toilet paper sticking to his shoes, either. Unlike TFG Fuckface von Clownstick.

12. we do have a saluting smiley

[Tommymac]

15. Ooops. Thank you.

Had a small TIA. I even used it.

[Kali]

16. to be fair

It isn't an animated one.

[Mr.Bill]

17. I've always wondered,

at the place where AF1 is based, they don't have a jetway set up like all the airports do so the POTUS doesn't have to exit into bad weather? I mean it's the home base and they are still exiting the plane like it's the 1950s. They could have it set up so he exits the plane into a secure room where the press could be and he could step up to a podium and answer a few questions if he wanted to. Seems like a worthwhile expense to me for the extra security and comfort alone.

Right now it has turned into an event where everyone is waiting for the POTUS to trip on the stairs, or have trouble with an umbrella or something.

18. Joint Base Andrews

Joint Base Andrews (JBA) is a United States military facility located in Prince George's County, Maryland. The facility is under the jurisdiction of the United States Air Force 316th Wing, Air Force District of Washington (AFDW).[2] The base was established in 2009, when Andrews Air Force Base and Naval Air Facility Washington were merged.

19. It's a tradition. And the military loves traditions.

Besides, not sure if this is Andrews AFB, but it is an operating military airfield. No frills. 100% controlled environment. No place to hide a bomb or other nasty device.

Plus he is off the plane and can be in a secure vehicle within seconds, sure the Secret Service prefers it this way too.

[Mr.Bill]

20. Well, I would say AF1 in one hell of a frill,

as it should be.

[KentuckyWoman]

22. It's good imaging

The "theatre" of coming down the steps outdoors vs coming into a room is very different. I'm not speaking regarding Biden. I doubt he cares one whit about image. He's a get the work done type. But overall, politics is much about image.

Plus off the plane in the car and drive straight off the base is probably more secure.

29. No terminals

Andrews is a transport base and there are not any terminals. Air Force One is parked out in the open when the President is going to travel for security purposes. When the President goes to Andrew's he travels via Limousine or Marine One. The motorcade stops directly in front of the stairs and Marine One lands a short distance away and then taxs over the a designated area where the President disembarks and walks a short distance to the steps of Airforce One.

21. Can we maybe NOT mock disabilities?

I don't care who it is; if you mock them for not being perfectly abled you ARE mocking all people with the same disability.

We need to be better than that.

Trump is evil. That is enough.

[Aussie105]

23. Which disability has been mocked?

Biden is fit, the right weight, healthy for his age, because he has always looked after himself.

Trump is none of that. Because he hasn't looked after himself.

But no disabilities insulted. If you feel any have been insulted, please name them.

Is it all just in your mind, I wonder?

[Tommymac]

27. I am not mocking any disability that I am aware of.

My title was mocking TFG for not being able to walk down a dry ramp at West Point in 2020 without assistance. And making it a campaign issue. He went on and on about that episode at one of his rallies, I believe it was the one in Nebraska or OK that Herman Caine attended, caught Covid and died.

As far as I know TFG has no physical disability except he can't control his bowels due to excessive drug use over his life. He is IMO deficient socially and is a sociopath and narcissist. And is not very intelligent either, though not to the extent of having any mental disability.

He is fair game for any belittlement as far as I am concerned - by his actions he murdered over 800,000 people.

He murdered over 800,000 people.

He murdered over 800,000 people.

I cannot say that enough.

My apologies if I offended you, but I stand by what I wrote 100%.

25. Everyone sing together...

Let it Joe
Let it Joe

30. He should be wearing a hat

Just not a red ball cap

[Blue Owl]

31. Meanwhile Dump's wandering around Mar a Lardo in an open bathrobe

[erronis]

33. Arghhhh! Washing out my eyes now.

34. That photo is a perfect analogy for his presidency. Standing tall against any buffeting.

[George II]

36. As opposed to this on a warm, sunny June day (forget the "it was slippery" excuse):
