President Joe made a point of meeting this young lady with stuttering issues and promised to help her with her problem.
**************
Avery said to him Mr. President, I have a stutter just like you, she wrote in the Facebook post. He stopped everything, put his hands on her shoulders, looked her right in the eyes and said Remember this: it doesnt define you. I have had a stutter my whole life and Im now the President of the United States. You can be anything you want to be. And he spent the next 10 minutes talking to Avery about his stutter, about the movie The Kings Speech and some of the tricks he uses when the words get stuck.
(BTW that State Cop behind the President is very much "on point."

Whatever we do, we must not lose sight of how unspeakably worse things could be right now, if that good man hadn't won the election.
