On Friday, President Biden was seen with cheat cards during his meeting in the Oval Office with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, providing the U.S. President reminders of the names of the visiting leaders and how to pronounce them.
These cards, which caught the attention of cameras, featured photos of Irish officials along with cues for pronouncing their names, according to the New York Post.
Varadkar’s visit included several key figures from the Irish government: Nick Miller, the press secretary; Brian Murphy, chief of staff; Philip O’Callaghan, deputy chief of staff; and Geraldine Byrne Nason, the Irish ambassador to the US, some of whom appeared on the photographed card.
This instance is not the first occurrence of Biden’s use of such aids. Throughout his presidency, Biden has frequently utilized cheat sheets, including during press conferences to remind him of reporters and anticipated questions.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre addressed concerns about this practice in April, stating, “It is entirely normal for a president to be briefed on reporters who will be asking questions at a press conference and issues that we expect they might ask about.”
Additionally, Biden has been observed using cards with detailed instructions for his movements at events. One such card from June 2022 instructed, “YOU enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants. YOU take YOUR seat.” Another notable moment occurred in July 2021 when an aide handed Biden a note informing him of “something” on his chin.
