On Wednesday morning, Twitter users went into a frenzy over what appeared to be compression marks on President Joe Biden’s visage.
Biden was only outside the White House for a short period of time, but it was long enough to raise many questions about the strange marks that were visible along both sides of his jaw and extended under his ears in photographs and videos shared on social media.
Many individuals attributed the markings to the use of a continuous positive airway pressure device. CPAP machines are used to treat obstructive sleep apnea.
What time were these photos taken?
Guessing it’s from a CPAP device, but the marks still being visible would suggest that he woke up within a half hour of the pictures being taken

These markings are quite common with the use of NIPPV devices such as a BIPAP or CPAP.

Do you show up to work with them still on your face too or is that happening because Biden just rolls out of bed and onto a helicopter? 🤣

Some hypothesized that the markings indicated Biden had used a nebulizer to administer medication.
What the heck did Biden have strapped on his face that made these marks this morning? Does he use a nebulizer? pic.twitter.com/1kDMQSWxfg

One theory suggested that the president may have used an inhaler containing albuterol.
Biden has been diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease, which sometimes necessitates the use of albuterol when acid from the stomach enters the airways and causes asthma-like symptoms.
Monday at 9:30 a.m. ET, the Daily Caller reported that similar marks were observed on Biden’s visage.
Biden’s most recent physical, published by his physician in February, made no mention of a sleep apnea diagnosis or the use of a nebulizer.
In addition, each image posted online was authenticated and taken by a Getty Images photographer.
Even though June is “pride” month in the Biden administration, Americans may never learn why Vice President Biden paraded around the White House on Wednesday looking as if he had slept with something affixed to his face.
This administration takes a “all is well” stance at all times and asks us to avert our gaze when Biden trips, forgets fundamental information, and wanders aimlessly.
There is a reason for the reaction to his facial compression marks, and that reason is that few people currently believe he is physically and mentally capable of governing the world’s most potent nation.
Since he vowed to be the most transparent president in history on his way to hiding from the media and dodging questions that make him uncomfortable, anything out of the ordinary regarding Biden should be and will be extensively investigated.
Notably, a physician for former President Barack Obama once described Biden as a “very unhealthy guy.”
The Washington Examiner reported in 2019 that after reviewing the president’s medical records, Dr. David Scheiner provided his assessment of the president.
More on this story via The Western Journal:
“He’s not in bad shape for his age, but I wouldn’t say he’s in outstanding health,” Scheiner said. “Could I guarantee he won’t have issues for the next four years? He has a lot of issues that are just sort of sitting there.” CONTINUE READING…
