In what looked more like a scene out of a Saturday Night Live comedy skit, President Joe Biden held a press conference Tuesday from an unusually tiny desk.
The President of the United States would usually stand at a regular-sized podium during a press conference instead of sitting at a little desk, although with Biden things are apparently a little different.
The child-sized desk is reminiscent of the optics put forth by White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kerby and White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre when they said that President Biden will hold a ‘big boy’ press conference back in July.
Having senior WH staff repeatedly use the phrase “big boy press conference” on purpose, again and again can only be sabotage from within designed to purposely make Biden look terrible.

The political optics of the furniture arrangement were brought into question by some who speculated about its meaning.
The Democrats have diminished Joe Biden to sitting at a child’s desk. Optics are everything. This was done on purpose.

This desk may in fact be just another part of the establishment turning on Biden after they used him all up.
Clips of the conference are going viral as social media users mocked the little furniture in the comments.
Poor guy. He’s not allowed into the real White House.

He’s at the kiddy table now

Obama must of been using the BIG BOY office.

He looks like a kindergartner on his first day of school instead of the President. Can you imagine President Trump sitting at a desk like that? 🤣

Look at the little bitty desk.

Did they kick Joe out of the oval office.
Did they just assemble that IKEA desk?
Looks like we're living in a political soap opera where even the leadership is as fake as the set. The only real thing left is the mess they’re making of this country.

He needs a Fischer Price phone to complete the picture. pic.twitter.com/gRxOZ4magp

Ironically, the press conference Biden was giving was the ‘Investing in America’ kickoff event, which led some social media users to take a jab at the phenomenon of ‘shrinkflation’ seen under Bidenomics.
Shrinkflation has finally hit the Whitehouse!

That desk was 60% bigger under Trump!

Besides having to sit at the kid’s table, Infowars recently reported that Biden is no longer allowed out anymore either.
