Washington: US President Joe Biden was spotted using a detailed “cheat sheet” at the recently concluded G20 summit in Bali. The cheat sheet showed instructions for Biden on where to sit, when to make remarks and when to pose for pictures, New York Post reported.
The notes were seen when Biden was attending an event on the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment which took place earlier this week, as per the New York Post report. Photographs captured a picture of the US President while he was leafing through pages of notes. The notes mentioned step-by-step instructions for Biden on what to do during the meeting. In the instructions, Biden was referred to as “YOU” in bold red letters.
According to the New York Post, one bullet point in the note read, “YOU, [Indonesian] President Widodo, and [Japanese] Prime Minister Kishida will take a photo directly before the event starts.” The second bullet point mentioned, “YOU will sit at the center” and “YOU will deliver opening remarks (5 minutes).”
The instructions also reminded Biden, “YOU will close the event alongside YOUR co-hosts.” The note at the top and bottom of the sheet reminded Biden to turn the page for his opening remarks. As per the report, it is not the first time Biden has been spotted using stage directions for public engagements.
During a meeting with wind industry executives in June, Biden flashed a detailed paper that instructed US President to “enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants.” It further said, “YOU take YOUR seat” and “YOU give brief comments (2 minutes).”
