“We’ll ask about his legacy, accomplishments, regrets and of course the current political landscape.”

Viewers troll Joe Biden over his upcoming 'The View' interview

News of Joe Biden making an upcoming TV appearance on 'The View' has sparked a wave of snark and sarcasm across social media.

One chimed in, "Put Biden on tv. What could go wrong....?"

Another added, "Yep, that talent agency that he signed with is getting him on some first class shows. Doesn't get any better than WhopJoy!! If Joe does good, I'll bet that we'll be seeing him on Jimmy Kimmel sometime soon."

Someone else noted, "What’s the odds he can’t find his way on,or off the stage. 😄😄?"

A follower remarked, "A comeback literally no one asked for."

One comment declared, "Come back from what the worst President ever."

Another observed, "Its like the jokes just write themselves."

As one person explained, "Grandpa's grand tour before permanent skilled nursing facility."

This upcoming appearance comes on the heels of Biden’s unexpected and fiery speech in Chicago last month, where he addressed attendees at the Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled conference.

It was a rare public moment from the 82-year-old, who has kept a notably low profile since his departure from office.

Joe Biden’s Chicago speech sparks backlash

Since leaving the Oval Office, Biden’s public engagements have been minimal, showing up at a Model United Nations conference, a St. Patrick’s Day brunch, and a union event where he accepted a lifetime achievement award from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.

Those close to the former president described this time as one focused on “reconnecting, rebuilding, and reflecting.”

But his Chicago speech reignited criticism, not just politically, but culturally.

In recounting his childhood in Scranton, Biden used a term now considered outdated and offensive when referring to Black children.

He said, “I’d never seen... hardly any Black people in Scranton at the time, and I was only going to fourth grade,” Biden said. “And I remember seeing the kids going by at the time, called colored kids on a bus going by...”

The backlash was swift.

The term “colored,” steeped in Jim Crow-era segregation, is now widely considered unacceptable in contemporary discourse.

Republicans seized on the moment, with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt taking a jab at Biden’s evening appearance.

She noted, “I’m shocked that he is speaking at night time. I thought his bedtime was much earlier than his speech tonight.”
