In what may go down as one of the oddest Halloween celebrations at the White House, President Joe Biden took “spooky season” to a whole new level, getting a little too close for comfort with some tiny trick-or-treaters.

In what can only be described as eyebrow-raising, Biden was caught on camera appearing to “bite” a baby’s leg in jest, with another photo showing him pretending to chomp on an infant dressed as a chicken. Yes, you read that right: the President of the United States, 81 years old, spent Halloween “nibbling” on babies, and naturally, the internet couldn’t look away.

The whole scene left people scratching their heads. One viral post by Nick Sorter had him asking, “WTF IS THIS TIMELINE?” And honestly, that about sums it up. If you’re tuning in from 2024 and see President Trump sitting in a garbage truck at a rally in Wisconsin while President Biden is, well, biting babies, it’s understandable if you’re a little confused. The visual contrast was striking—Trump out with working-class Americans in Wisconsin, Biden play-biting kids on the White House lawn. Not exactly the “presidential optics” you’d expect the week before Election Day.

To make things even more bizarre, this Halloween scene unfolded just after Biden stirred up controversy by calling Trump supporters “garbage.” Instead of letting that comment simmer in the headlines, Biden’s Halloween antics took center stage. Social media was ablaze, with Abigail Jackson, communications director for Sen. Josh Hawley, chiming in: “This makes me uncomfortable.” Others joked that maybe the “biting” habit was something Biden picked up from his dog, Major, whose reputation for biting White House staff was infamous.

Of course, some onlookers defended Biden’s playful side, chalking it up to a “carefree” moment for the outgoing president. But given that Biden’s public appearances often raise questions about his behavior and mental acuity, his Halloween antics didn’t exactly put the skepticism to rest. When the President of the United States makes headlines for “playfully” nibbling on infants, it’s bound to raise a few questions—or maybe even prompt a few nervous laughs.

Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign saw the entire spectacle as pure gold, leaning into the oddity. Steve Krakauer, from The Megyn Kelly Show, tweeted, “Joe Biden bites a baby. And 2024 is complete…” And as if on cue, Trump supporters were quick to seize on the surreal contrast, with Trump posing in an orange safety vest at a rally surrounded by supporters in Wisconsin. The juxtaposition wasn’t lost on social media, where users joked that if Trump doesn’t soon declare that “Biden is eating babies,” everyone has missed an opportunity.

So, as Biden hands out candy and books at his last White House Halloween before leaving office, he’s once again given voters something to talk about—whether it’s his “carefree” side, his apparent knack for bizarre interactions, or simply the oddity of 2024 politics. Whatever the takeaway, this Halloween was anything but ordinary.
