President Joe Biden became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the Amazon rainforest on November 17, aiming to spotlight climate change.
However, the headlines quickly shifted from global warming to Biden reportedly “wandering off” into the rainforest.

Social media, naturally, had a field day. One X, formerly Twitter, user quipped, “Rather than have to go home to DC and face Jill, Nancy, and Kamala again, a sleepy Joe Biden wanders off into the Amazon forest instead. Can't blame him.”

The timing couldn’t be more ironic. Reports surfaced that Biden had authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied weapons to strike inside Russia, fueling whispers of an impending world war.
Wait, what? Joe Biden is visiting the Amazon Rainforest and leading us into WWIII World War 3 with Russia at the same time. 🤔 American people don't want World War III!

Amid this geopolitical chaos, the idea of the Commander-in-Chief meandering among jaguars and capybaras felt oddly poetic. “Joe Biden is leading us into WWIII while simultaneously getting lost in the Amazon. You really can't make this up,” commented another user.
The unverified claims gained traction when one user pointed out, “Joe Biden Lost in the Amazon. There were no staff waiting for him, and this was not the ‘planned’ exit route.”

After taking no questions Joe Biden turns and walks back in to no where.
There were no staff waiting for him and this was not the "planned" exit route back to the motorcade.
Trump cannot get here soon enough!

White House staff have remained tight-lipped about the claims of whether he did wander off into the Amazon.
For now, the world watches Ukraine and Russia closely—perhaps with one eye on the Amazon rainforest, just in case Biden emerges with a solution to save the planet…or as a modern-day Tarzan.
