Biden took questions on the parody press convention as he agreed that he would proceed referring to China’s chief as a “dictator” and even took a “pretend elevator” to keep away from a reporter’s inquiry on the U.S.-Mexico border.

The “SNL” reporters, nevertheless, didn’t appear to get his concern.

“President Biden, Trump’s staff has introduced that they’ll change all federal employees with Trump loyalists. My query is, panda, did you want America?” requested a mock “Axios” reporter.
