I didn't know at the time, but Biden actually had a teleprompter going at the Geneva press conference — which he wanted separately from Putin, so it could be noscripted and controlled. He even acknowledged he would call on the list of names "they" (his handlers) gave him. The White House press corps didn't mind, lapdogs of the Empire as they are. The only thing they wanted from Biden is fire and brimstone about "evil killer Putin."
Unfortunately for them, he did not deliver. Instead, there was a lot of Freudian confession through projection and admission that his understanding of Russia relies on the think-tank-land "experts" (you know, the people who've been catastrophically and entirely wrong for decades).
My take on Biden's presentation is that it further illuminates his reliance on, and preference for, the Narrative over reality. Maybe because his handlers think they can control it, by controlling the media coverage and language itself. Very Orwellian of them, indeed.
What I didn't manage to address in the op-ed, because I was running out of room, was his hinting at the US wanting a confrontation between Russia and China — another talking point from DC think-tankers, but one that is not grounded in reality at all. Biden is literally recycling Richard Nixon's foreign policy, from the time he was first elected to the Senate half a century ago, and thinking it will work again. I'd ask if someone wants to tell him, but... what's the point?

After Geneva summit, Biden shows his preference for fantasy narratives extends beyond the US to Russia as well — RT Op-ed
President Joe Biden’s understanding of Russia and the world appears to be based on the same sort of self-deceiving narratives as his concept of the US, if his solo press conference following the Geneva summit is anything to go by.

Who Is A “Terrorist” In Biden’s America?
Far from being a war against “white supremacy,” the Biden administration’s new “domestic terror” strategy clearly targets primarily those who oppose US government overreach and those who oppose capitalism and/or globalization
