President Joe Biden’s birthday cake became the butt of the joke after his 81st birthday on Monday.
Biden sent the internet ablaze when he posted an Instagram photo of himself sitting in front of a cake that was consumed by the flames of 81 candles.
Poking fun at himself in the caption, he wrote, “Thanks for the birthday well-wishes today, everyone. Turns out on your 146th birthday, you run out of space for candles!”
Online, people couldn’t resist mocking the commander in chief and his charred cake.
Some compared Biden’s b-day confection to Sauron from “The Lord of the Rings” while another said the cake must have been the biggest fire at the White House since the “British burned down the building during the War of 1812.”
Others clapped back at conservatives moaning about the photo op.
Responding to a Ben Shapiro tweet about Biden’s birthday “campaign blunder,” someone wrote, “Yes Trump tried to overthrow the government and end American democracy but Biden had a birthday cake so I’m forced to vote for Trump.”
As Biden becomes the oldest sitting president in U.S. history, his age continues to be a growing concern among voters on both sides of the aisle.
In a poll from Reuters/Ipsos, 77% of respondents, including 65% of Democrats, said Biden is too old to be president. Of those polled, 39% said Biden had the mental acuity needed for the Oval Office.
