President Joe Biden joked on Friday about being a “very dull president” known for his sunglasses and love of chocolate chip ice cream.
“I’m sure you all loved sitting in the sun here, but it could be worse. It could be raining. It’s a beautiful day. And as that old phrase used to go, ‘it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood.’ And it is beautiful. Excuse me — I’m putting on my sunglasses so I can see,” Biden told the crowd at the White House.

The president continued, “As I’ve told my distinguished friend from Massachusetts — a good friend, Sen. Markey — it’s really very, very dull when after all these years in public life, you’re known for two things: Ray-Ban sunglasses and chocolate chip ice cream. Very dull president.”
The crowd was gathered in the White House Rose Garden to see him sign an executive order directing all federal agencies to make it their “mission” to work toward “environmental justice for all.” His order creates a White House Office of Environmental Justice to “better protect overburdened communities from pollution and environmental harms” and claims that “racism is a fundamental driver of environmental injustice.”
Biden was criticized last month when he spent several minutes joking about ice cream at a White House event in his first public appearance following the deadly shooting in Nashville at a Christian school.
“I eat Jeni’s ice cream — chocolate chip. I came down because I heard there was chocolate chip ice cream,” Biden said in his first comments following the shooting.

Biden’s signature Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses have been a mainstay of his attire.
He is expected to make a 2024 presidential announcement next week while he has been under scrutiny for his son Hunter Biden’s laptop investigation, new reports about an IRS whistleblower alleging “preferential treatment” for the Biden family, congressional investigations into the finances of nine Biden family members, and a new inspector general report on the consequences of the president’s disastrous withdrawal of Afghanistan.
