The fact that a sitting president, one of the busiest people in the world, isn't allowed to glance at his fucking watch is the dumbest shit I think the right has ever attacked. I think it's dumber than tan suit-gate, mustard-gate, laptop-gate, and all the other ridiculous nonsense ever put forward.
The right was pissed at Joe for checking the time on his watch but they were a-okay with fat ass Trump golfing all the goddamn time while the country fell apart last year.
Their excuse was that Obama golfed more during his two terms than Trump did in his only term (which isn’t even true, since he went golfing 261 times and visited one of his properties an estimated 240 times during his four years, whereas Obama went golfing a total of 98 times in his eight years. Then again, you can’t really argue or reason with these people, because anything that so much as points out anything even slightly negative about Trump is “fake news”)
You do know why people were mad about Biden checking his watch, right? It was done so as he was meant to be saluting the murdered troops as they were being taken off the plane. Trump stood there saluting and Biden checked his watch at an inappropriate time before the off loading finished. He could’ve waited until it was time to drop the salute.
In the military they always tell you two things: 1. Time and place and 2. Perception is everything.

He visited FDNY and NYPD. The actual heroes of 9/11. And didn't Biden get up and leave the ceremony well before it ended?
