In the puzzling moment, Biden ends his speech by saying, "Happy Easter," then, as his wife is seen waving at the crowd, is reportedly caught mumbling to her husband, "Wave... wave."

The president then proceeds to smile and wave at the thousands of families members on the White House's South Lawn.

In a second blunder, an unidentified person dressed as an Easter Bunny stopped Biden from answering a reporter’s question and suddenly started directing him around the White House lawn.

Biden then jerked his head toward the costumed character in apparent shock and took a step back from it.

Trolls took to social media to blast the president's mental condition after it was speculated that White House Press Assistant Angela Perez was under the Easter Bunny outfit.

One critic tweeted in response to the worrisome exchange: "You know it's bad when the Easter Bunny is Joe Biden's handler."

"What is disturbing is that the 'mascot' is the White House Press Assistant, trying to prevent Biden from talking off-script," wrote a second critic.

Meanwhile, a third person tweeted at Perez: "So, you were one of the WH Easter Bunnies that made the Presidency look like a mockery today as you had to guide him away from the press? Our enemies are laughing at us."

Despite the speculation, has yet to confirm who was under the two Easter Bunny costumes at the event.

'SHAKING THIN AIR'

Last week, Biden once again left people puzzled when he appeared to turn to shake someone's hand – despite nobody being on stage beside him.

Biden had finished a speech on the nation’s supply chain crisis on Thursday when the gaffe occurred, leading to an awkward couple of seconds.

In a now-viral clip of the speech in Greensboro, North Carolina, the president ended with “God bless you all” before turning to his right and motioning toward the empty space behind him.

Biden then put his hand out and appeared to go for a handshake. It could be possible that he didn’t know he was alone at the podium.

He then looked around the stage as music played in the background. 

Texas Senator Ted Cruz, 51, shared a clip of the speech on , captioning it with the double eyes emoji.

Others took the opportunity to question the president’s mental state once again.

“Where are the White House and Biden family handlers whose job it is to make him look good?” wrote former vice chairwoman of the California Republican Party Harmeet K Dhillon.

“This is truly bizarre unless they WANT him to look like a dementia patient," she wrote.

Robby Starbuck, who is running for in Tennessee’s Republican Primary, called Biden “unfit to be President. Period.”
