The situation
"However, after doing so, he seemed confused about what to do. He turned around to walk back to his place but then suddenly turned back around towards the wreath," Breitbart News reported.
"The member of the Honor Guard then raised a gloved hand to gesture for him to return to his place. It was an unusually awkward scene for a president during a wreath-laying ceremony," it added.
Biden is lost again.

Trump's response
“We have a guy in the White House who can’t put two sentences together, who couldn’t find his way off this stage,” Trump said during a Saturday campaign rally.
“And this is the guy we have negotiating with Putin and with President Xi of China,” Trump continued.
Time to go home. Pathetic at such a solemn ceremony. We shouldn't laugh at this. Instead we should recognize the Commander-in-Chief is incapable of being the CnC. Someone stop this madness. Looking to you @FLOTUS. Do you love him? Take him home. https://t.co/UlfC1MFyDC

Time to go home?
"Time to go home. Pathetic at such a solemn ceremony. We shouldn't laugh at this," radio host Michael Brown wrote.
"Instead we should recognize the Commander-in-Chief is incapable of being the CnC. Someone stop this madness. Looking to you @FLOTUS. Do you love him? Take him home," he stated.
The concern is one of many public gaffes by the president in recent months that have led to concern about Biden's cognitive decline.
The matter is also part of the reason many Americans have agreed in polls that Biden is too old to run for a second term in office. He is the oldest-serving president in U.S. history at 80 and would be 86 at the end of a second term.
The wreath ceremony was concerning for those watching as the nation honored those who have served the nation on Veterans Day.
