A cheat sheet held by President Biden during a Wednesday press conference revealed that the 80-year-old commander in chief had advance knowledge of a question from a journalist.
“How are YOU squaring YOUR domestic priorities — like reshoring semiconductors manufacturing — with alliance-based foreign policy?” read a question from Los Angeles Times reporter Courtney Subramanian.
The revelation came during a joint press conference with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol that discussed growing nuclear threats from North Korea — as the nations celebrate the 70th anniversary of their alliance.

Another cheat sheet showed the names of other Biden administration officials to relay the order remarks would be delivered at the press conference.
It’s not the first time Biden’s crib notes have been outed by speedy photojournalists.
Last June, the president exposed a comically worded cheat sheet with detailed instructions.

“YOU enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants,” the note read, then immediately directed the oldest-ever president, “YOU take YOUR seat.”
In July 2021, POTUS accepted an embarrassing note from an aide — which was also snapped by a photographer — that said: “Sir, there is something on your chin.”
Biden has reportedly bristled at aides disrupting his approach to messaging, even when it puts him at odds with administration policy.

In March, the president unexpectedly called for President Vladimir Putin to be removed from power following the Russian invasion of Ukraine — comments that White House officials later had to walk back.

The cheat sheets have also fueled Republicans’ speculation about Biden’s mental acuity.
The president’s physician reported Biden was in good health in February, but refused to field questions from reporters about his cognitive strength.
Biden announced Tuesday he would seek the Democratic Party’s nomination for re-election in 2024.
