Joe just wants to eat bread.
Outgoing President Biden playfully grabbed a Hawaiian roll from the military buffet line as Cyndi Lauper's hit song “Girl Just Want to Have Fun” played at a Coast Guard facility on Staten Island on Monday. .
Mr. Biden, 82, gave a playful look to the buffet staff, then took a sneaky bite of bread, donned an apron, and shared vegetables with a New York Coast Guard soldier and his family.

In an address to the coastal community before helping serve the Coast Guard's “Give a Friend” meals, Biden said he can empathize with the military branch because he attended the school of a future Coast Guard Academy quarterback.
“My quarterback was also All-State. He came over and ended up being the Coast Guard Academy quarterback in 1912!” Biden said, without naming the player. Ta.
The commander has come under scrutiny for trying to resonate with viewers by telling false or unverifiable personal anecdotes, such as claiming he earned an appointment to the Naval Academy without evidence. .
Mr. Biden has been increasingly excluded from political debates since President-elect Donald Trump won the Nov. 5 election, but he has said that if Mr. Trump regains power, American democracy could end. Despite his claims, he has given only one-word answers to journalists' questions in the past 20 days.
