Social Media Reacts As Bird Poops On POTUS


A bird appeared to relieve itself on President Biden's lapel Tuesday while he unveiled plans to trim gas prices by about 10 cents a gallon as US inflation hits a 41-year high. 

The Daily Mail reports Biden spoke about putting 'rural America at the center of our efforts to build a future that's made in America' when a white, powdery substance fell on his jacket - right above his American flag pin. 

The unfortunate incident took place inside what Biden jokingly referred to as a 'giant barn' at a POET bioprocessing center in Menlo, Iowa. A White House official said it was 'corn,' but jokes about the possible bird droppings rolled in almost immediately across social media. 

'Even the birds know Biden is full of s***,' one Twitter user wrote. Said another: 'Move over Pence fly. It's Biden shoulder bird poop,' referring to when a fly lingered on former Vice President Mike Pence's head during a debate with Kamala Harris. 

At the speech, Biden unveiled a plan to extend the availability of E15, a gasoline that uses a 15 percent ethanol blend, from June 1 to September 15. The fuel, which is slightly cheaper than the E10 blend sold year-round, is banned in the summer due to its volatility in the heat and during peak travel months. There is also some concern that E15 contributes to smog, but renewable fuel advocates dispute this claim.
