Joe Biden experienced a new moment of confusion this Saturday when talking about his rival Donald Trump, whom he described as
“a sitting president”
.
These statements, which came during a speech in South Carolina, sparked mockery on social media from Republican voters.
“
Have you seen what he (Donald Trump) said recently about what he wants?
that he wants to see the economy collapse this year?
A sitting president!
“, declared Joe Biden.
In the transcription of his speech, the White House took the trouble to correct the American president's blunder by adding
"former"
, before
"president"
and removing
"in office".
Many supporters of his Republican predecessor have mocked the current President of the United States, calling him
“senile”
, a
“loser”
or even a
“clown”
.
In addition to his numerous falls in front of the cameras, Joe Biden is accustomed to this type of gaffe.
Among them, his famous
“
Repeat the line
”
during an embarrassing speech during which the Democratic president seemed a little too focused on his teleprompter.
More recently, during a visit to Vietnam, the American president was invited to speak on global warming, when he made reference to a John Wayne film describing “lying pony soldiers with dog faces”.
During his 2020 campaign, he declared himself
a “
candidate for the Senate
”,
being mistaken about the office he was seeking.
During a visit to Saudi Arabia, he confused
“selfishness”
and
“altruism”
when describing Americans:
“We always honor bravery and selfishness,”
he said.
Already in 2008, he invited Senator Chuck Graham to stand up while he was in a wheelchair.
