“3rd time in 6 months”… ‘Old age’ Biden and Trump make frequent verbal mistakes
As controversy continues over President Joe Biden’s age ahead of the November U.S. presidential election, former President Donald Trump, who is certain to face a rematch with Biden, is also on the chopping block for his frequent verbal mistakes.
Biden and Trump are the oldest presidential candidates in U.S. history, at 81 and 77 years old, respectively.
According to the British daily Guardian on the 3rd (local time), former President Trump confused Biden and former President Barack Obama at a campaign rally in Richmond, Virginia the previous day, saying, “The reason Putin started using the word nuclear is because he has little respect for Obama.” He said.
The Guardian reported that there was momentary silence among the audience at the campaign rally due to former President Trump’s slip of the tongue.
This is the third mistake he has made in the past six months.
Former President Trump continues to claim that President Biden has a cognitive ability problem, but he is also making repeated mistakes.
Trump once confused his presidential rival, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Trump’s gaffe prompted former Ambassador Haley to question his mental health, and the Biden campaign also mocked Trump.
In her election advertisement, former Ambassador Haley depicted Biden and Trump as grumpy old men and emphasized that she was young and healthy.
President Biden’s verbal mistakes continue.
While explaining the plan to airlift relief goods to the Gaza Strip in Palestine on the 1st, he mistakenly referred to the Gaza Strip as Ukraine.
President Biden said, “We will soon join Jordan and other countries in dropping relief supplies to Ukraine by air.”
Meanwhile, in a previously conducted New York Times (NYT) and Siena College opinion poll, 73% of respondents said that President Biden is ‘too old’ to serve as president, showing a large gap with former President Trump (42%).
