POOTUS?
MANY thought a bird pooped on President Joe Biden during his infrastructure speech last week in Iowa, as he's been trolled for "talking s***" on Twitter.
Biden was in the midst of a speech in Menlo, Iowa on Tuesday, April 12 when he was struck by what looked like it could be bird poop, but ended up just being distillers grains.

"It's about being made in America," Biden was filmed saying in the moments prior to the mysterious splatter.
Biden was discussing infrastructure and inflation as part of a visit to POET Bioprocessing.
While he didn't seem to notice the splatter on his jacket, many folks did - leading most viewers to believe a bird was responsible for the mess.
"Even the Birds know this guy is full of [poop emoji]," tweeted one user.

"Bird One: "Biden always talks bulls***. Bird Two: "BRB…gotta take a quick birds***," tweeted another.
"Biden wasn't the only one spouting poop today," commented another Twitter user.
"Even The Birds are pissed off now. What's NEXT?," another chimed in.
There was no shortage of jokes and trolling after the incident, even a bird claiming responsibility chimed in.

"Sorry about the poop," tweeted @PoopBiden.
However, the actual explanation is far less entertaining than a bird letting loose on the president.
Biden's speech took place indoors at a bioprocessing plant that the president called a "giant barn."
While there were birds in the building, one of the event's photographers said that the substance was distillers grains, according to the Des Moines Register.
Photographs and videos of different angles of the scene show a large pile of grain near the stage where Biden spoke.
Upon further inspection, the president's jacket clearly shows a yellow color, rather than the traditional white color of bird poop.
Distillers grains are "a byproduct of the distillation process."
BIRD POOP DENIERS
Other people who had attended the event jumped in to deny the bird poop, including White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfeld.
"If you guys knew your way around a corn silo at all, you'd know it was corn," Bedingfeld tweeted to the RNC.
"It was bits of corn flying around from the corn silo," Justin Sink, White House reporter for Bloomberg also added.
NBC News reporter Gary Grumbach verified the information by saying that corn powder particles dripped on people throughout the event.
BIDEN ADDRESSES FUEL PRICES
Biden landed in Des Moines earlier in the day ahead of his speech, where EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan was also scheduled to appear.
The president addressed the surge in fuel prices Americans are experiencing around the country,
"Environmental Protection Agency is planning to issue an emergency waiver to allow E15 gasoline — gasoline that uses more ethanol from home-grown crops — to be sold across the U.S. this summer in order to increase fuel supply and lower prices," a tweet from the POTUS account reads.

Biden went on to authorize the release of 1 million barrels per day "for the next 6 months from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve — and over 30 countries agreed to release 60 million additional barrels," saying it is the "largest collective release in history."
The announcement came after Biden first acknowledged the subway shootings that occurred during the morning rush hour in Brooklyn, New York.
