- President Joe Biden held a press conference in Hanoi, Vietnam Sunday nightÂ
- He whispered, walked about the stage and used the phrase: ‘lying dog faced pony soldier,’ telling a tale about ‘Indians’ and John WayneÂ
- The president spent two days in India for the G20 Leaders’ Summit and will depart Vietnam Monday for Alaska, circumnavigating the globe
After spending two days in India for the G20 Leaders‘ Summit, Biden jetted to Vietnam Sunday to upgrade the countries’ diplomatic ties and ended the day with a press conference.
In what was supposed to be a show of stamina – Biden is circumnavigating the globe in five days – the 80-year-old commander-in-chief joked about not knowing if it was morning or night and ended the 26-minute event by saying, ‘I’m going to go to bed.’
He regaled reporters with a story he says is from a John Wayne movie and features the ‘Indians’ – not the ones he just met with – who don’t buy it when a Union soldier says ‘everything will be good’ if they go back to the reservation.
‘And the Indian looks at John Wayne and points to the Union soldier and says, ‘He’s a lying dog faced pony soldier.’ Well, there’s a lot of lying dog faced pony soldiers out there about global warming. But not anymore,’ Biden said. ‘All of the sudden, they’re all realizing it’s a problem,’ the president said, whispering into the mic.
