The incident surrounding a US Border Patrol Trooper’s response to President Joe Biden’s Brownsville visit drew attention on social media. The Border Patrol’s official accounts shared a post that described a day in the president’s routine, humorously noting the word “nap” as a keyword, attributed to the White House leader in the context of a satirical daily schedule. This portrayal appeared to be aimed at a broad audience watching the events near the US–Mexico border. (citation: Border Patrol union)
One line from the post paraphrased Biden saying, “I boarded ship number one and took a nap. I woke up in a place called Brownsville,” with the message framed as if it were the president’s own words. (citation: Border Patrol union)
Observers noted that the union members described Biden spending time on a teleprompter in the moment, claiming the text included a claim that former President Trump was responsible for various issues and that border patrol officers in green uniforms were depicted as part of a larger narrative. The post suggested that these officers served as a visible element in the administration’s discourse on border policy. (citation: Border Patrol union)
Additionally, the post referenced a recurring phrase in a lighthearted way, suggesting that the president’s sleep became a recurring motif in the shared content. The union accompanied the post with imagery illustrating the president seemingly resting on a beach. (citation: Border Patrol union)
