U.S. President Joe Biden has been scrutinized by many of his critics for his oratory skills, with flubbed lines or misspoken statements often being used to question his competency.
The president was mocked by political opponents and social media users earlier this year for appearing to read out the word "dot" from a website URL on a teleprompter during a White House speech.
While the president has been pictured in the past handling "cheat sheets" and prompts to guide his public appearances—a strategy perhaps designed to temper his self-recognized propensity for slip-ups—the latest incident has revived unevidenced and conspiratorial narratives.
Several outlets, including the New York Post, and prominent social media accounts picked up on a photo taken during the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, which appeared to show detailed instructions relating to the upcoming meeting.
