President Joe Biden may have been in a joking mood but the optics of the 81-year-old nibbling on a child at a Halloween event was nothing short of creepy.
Social media users thought Biden was everything from totally weird to adorable as he interacted with children at the White House trick-or-treat event on Wednesday. Especially noticeable was when he playfully took a “bite” out of one baby’s leg who was dressed as a turkey or chicken.

Thankfully, the baby seemed to find Ol’ Joe amusing and the president had a short conversation with the motherfollowing the playful bite.

He nibbled another baby in costume as well, taking the child’s foot to his mouth as the infants were being held by their mothers.

In Ohio they are only eating the dogs and cats. In the White House they are snacking on the children.

He also repeatedly suckled on a baby’s foot at the same event.
Last year at the same event, he sucked on a baby’s finger, and separately, persistently nibbled on a terrified infants shoulder in Finland. https://t.co/NKzocwK5GD pic.twitter.com/d7JNqCGzF4— Paul Templeton 🐊 (@community_notes) October 30, 2024
When I see a baby my first instinct is not to bite them.

Trump: They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats.
Biden: Hold my beer.
