Biden’s deleted post on X goes viral; here is what he said

President Joe Biden’s official White House account on social media site X had some embarrassing moments when one of the posts went viral for all the wrong reasons. The official handle @POTUS was commenting on a judicial verdict pertaining to energy exports. In recent times, the Biden administration has put a temporary hold on the exports of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) due to environmental reasons. Many of the Republican states have opposed this judicial verdict. The post on X has now been deleted after the faux pas was observed by social media users. Here is what transpired.

Post on X:
The official handle @POTUS was commenting on a ruling by a court in the state of Louisiana which lifted the Biden’s administration embargo on exports of LNG. He termed the decision of the court as incredibly disappointing. He assured the people that he will do his best to work towards ensuring energy security as well as protection of the environment.

Deleted Post:
After realizing the mistake that the decision was not a decision of the Supreme Court, the tweet was deleted. While it was not available after a period of time, its screenshot was taken by many individuals. A new post on X mentioned the ruling by a Louisiana federal court.

Reactions:
Many people on social media commented that Biden’s cognitive decline was visible. They pointed out that the team at the White House too appears to have been suffering from some sort of cognitive decline.

To many others, this became a talking point regarding Biden’s re-election bid and signified the larger malaise which seems to have affected the Democrats.
