(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) President Joe Biden took a wrong turn when he appeared to wander into the Amazon rainforest, viral video from Sunday shows.
On Sunday, Biden held a press conference in Manaus, Brazil where he signed an International Conservation Day proclamation touting his administration’s “fight against climate change.” The Democrat president wore his staple sunglasses and a loose-fitting blue shirt as he delivered remarks from a podium placed in the middle of the Amazon jungle.
At the end of his remarks, Biden waved, turned his back to the camera and appeared to disappear into the wilderness. Pop culture news account @PopBase posted a 13-second video of Biden’s rainforest adventure on X, which accumulated 56 million views as of Monday evening.

Social media users had a field day reacting to Biden’s “side quest,” with many questioning where he ventured off to.
“He’s really doing all the side quests now that he can retire,” X user @xKitanas wrote, referencing how Biden will be out of office in 63 days.

Fresh from his exploits as Joe of the Jungle, Biden missed a group photo of world leaders at the G20 summit on Monday, which the White House later blamed on “logistical issues,” according to the Associated Press. One reporter who spotted Biden was heard saying the U.S. president was “behind the palm tree!”
