When President Joe Biden addressed the nation in a live address Sunday night, attempting to lower the political temperature in the country following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, his speech was riddled with gaffes and verbal gaffes.
“In America, we resolve our differences in the Battle Box,” Biden could be heard saying. saying At one point, he said, “This is how we do it in the Battle Box. Not with bullets.”

“The power to change America must always be in the hands of the people, not in the hands of a would-be assassin,” Biden added. “You know that the path forward through the opposing visions of the campaign must always be resolved peacefully, not through acts of violence. We are blessed to live in the greatest country in the world, and I believe in that with every soul, with every power of my being.”
“Tonight, I ask every American to recommit to making America… making America… well, think about it, what has made America so special?” Biden continued, apparently stumbling as he tried to find a way to say “make America great again” without using those words.

“Here in America, while unity is the most elusive goal right now, nothing is more important to us right now than standing together,” Biden added.
He also referred to Trump as “former Trump” at one point during his speech.
This is not the first time Biden has delivered a gaffe-filled speech. In May, during a press conference with Kenyan President William Ruto, Biden delivered a gaffe-filled speech in which he referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as the “nation’s first Black vice president, President Kamala Harris.”
More recently, during a solo press conference, Biden mistakenly confused Harris with Vice President Donald Trump. At the same press conference, Biden introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as Russian President Vladimir Putin.
As Breitbart News previously reported, during an event in Ireland, Biden told the crowd to go “lick the world,” referencing “U.S.-Irish cooperation.”
