At one point, Biden inquired “Where am I?” which seemed to amuse some netizens, though a number of people argued that the POTUS was apparently trying to clarify where exactly he should stand.

The US president has also been blasted for a speech he delivered during the visit, as he apparently refrained from calling the mayor of Kansas City by name, saying instead: "Under the leadership of...mayors like, uh, you know, our mayor here."
You know...the guy....with the pants....
