The gaffes have sparked a wave of memes on social media, with many criticizing Biden’s cognitive abilities.
US President Joe Biden has once again embarrassed his supporters after a series of gaffes during a NATO summit and a news conference. The president, who is seeking a second term, referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin” and US Vice President Kamala Harris as “Trump.”
The gaffes came during a speech at the NATO summit, where Biden invited Zelensky to the stage and said: “And now I want to turn the floor over to the president of Ukraine, who has both courage and determination, ladies and gentlemen, President Putin.” He later corrected himself, saying: “I’m going to defeat President Putin, President Zelensky. I’m very focused on defeating Putin.”
Just hours later, during a press conference, Biden referred to Kamala Harris as “Trump” when asked if he was concerned about her ability to defeat Trump if she ran for president. “I would not have picked Vice President Trump for vice president if I thought she was not qualified to be president,” he said.
The gaffes have sparked a wave of memes on social media, with many criticizing Biden’s cognitive abilities and fitness for office. Some have compared his gaffes to students calling their teacher “mom,” while others have joked about his ability to keep track of his opponents.
Trump himself is among those sharing memes, as he posted this on his Facebook account:
