The US president made the gaffe during a campaign speech in Las Vegas, as he recalled a meeting with G7 leaders in June 2021.
This isnt news.
A senile grandpa vs a wannabe dictator. America: you’re fucked.
Trump wouldn’t even know the name Francois Mitterrand. He would not even know he was president long before Macron. Or where France is.
I take the grandpa that sometimes has those name hick-ups then the grandpa with the swastika armlet.
sometimes has those name hick-ups
I like that you interpreted it as hick-ups, as if it were a mistake/fuck-up made by a hick, lol
As a hick, I assure you he ain’t. He just acts folksy like so many other politicians.
I’ll take a competent grandpa with a lifetime of relevant experience who’s slipping a bit, but has a great team supporting him and who yields consist, positive results over a Christo-fascist dictator who aims to dismantle democracy entirely.
I’d prefer a younger progressive to Biden, but youth isn’t a guarantee of quality. Bobert, empty G, Gaetz, or Biden? You can throw that youth argument in the trash (Trumpster fire?)
That anyone seems to think Trump and Biden are even remotely close that you have to split hairs is laughable and shows exactly how effective and alive propaganda is.
Who the fuck cares? Does anyone “like” Biden?
I care, because I want to know if my President is losing his grip on reality. To be honest, I might have gotten Macron and Mitterand confused, being that I don’t know anything about either of them except that they are both French politicians. But I don’t have to meet with Macron and negotiate international cooperation with a guy I confused with a long dead predecessor.
I always confuse Macron with Macaroons.
And I assume I’m not alone.
Understandable
If this is this a gaffe, what is it when Trump strings together his incoherent, incomplete, and nonsensical ramblings?
It’s really hard to say it’s not a big deal when Biden does it, because when trump does it Biden gives him shit about it.
A gaffe is just slipping on words once but still knowing what you meant. If you look at Biden full quote, he made multiple mistakes and was just rambling.
They’re both old and get confused which is 100% normal for their ages…
It’s just illustrative of why people of that age shouldn’t be in important and powerful positions in our government
Yeah, the US needs to get its act together and stop electing people so close to the life expectancy.
Is this because the founding fathers wore those white wigs or something? Lol
SC justices too.
Sotomeyer is a type 1 diabetic, and is literally at the life expectancy for a woman with type 1 diabetes…
People make the argument that she “has the best healthcare” but one of the most important things with that is managing stress, and she’s repeatedly making public statements about how stressful it is .
She’s 100% going to die in office before she resigns, she learned absolutely nothing from RBG.
We need to stop ignoring that chronological age is a real thing, and has real effects on a person’s ability.
But since everyone in our top positions are so old they’re personally losing their mental abilities, they’ll never admit it.
And the boomers that are “next” sure as shit aren’t going to make better decisions, and we can’t afford to wait another 30 years for them to die off.
We need to fix shit now
By all means, let’s vote for the eloquent Trump instead. /S
At least Biden won’t gaffe his way into outlawing BIPOC from existing or inspire domestic terrorism with his words.
They are both senile. But take it from someone who lived under Robert Mugabe, senile dictators seem to live frustratingly long lives - even in the face of terminal illnesses. If the choice has to be between two seniles, take the one that doesn’t have dictator aspirations.
Biden is not senile. Anyone who has ever dealt with an actual senile person knows that he’s a damned site far from senile. He has good mental faculties for a man his age. The issue with Biden isn’t his mental fitness.
Trump is going to win. I don’t like it, but Dems dropped a dall getting behind Biden.
Biden is 3 years older than trump. Whoever is elected will end their term as the record oldest president.
That just shows you how great our healthcare system is! /s
People make mistakes, especially people who have tons of responsibilities and a thousand different things going on. This is not news, this is muckraking.
He’s the CURRENT president. Of a major ally.
If this was an isolated incident, sure, no big deal. This is so common it’s embarrassing.
I mean, I mix up my kid and my dog’s names all the time. And they aren’t the same species.
