It appears that age is taking its toll on US President Joe Biden. This is sometimes proved by their weakening of memory. This time Biden presented Ukrainian President Zelensky as Putin.
Washington. It seems that age is taking over US President Joe Biden. This is also proved by his memory getting weaker at times. Joe Biden has made mistakes many times before. This time, US President Joe Biden on Thursday presented Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as his Russian enemy Vladimir Putin at the NATO summit. This was a mistake a few hours before a major press conference, which could decide the fate of his re-election campaign. However, 81-year-old Biden immediately corrected his mistake. After this, Zelensky quipped that he is better than Putin. At the same time, when Biden was asked in a press conference whether Harris could defeat Donald Trump if he did not contest the election again. So Biden said that ‘If I did not think that he is not capable of becoming the President, then I would not have chosen Vice President Trump as Vice President.’ Journalists were quite surprised by his answer.
However, Biden’s gaffe has fuelled concerns about his mental health after his disastrous performance in a debate against Donald Trump just two weeks ago. The funniest moment was when Biden announced the NATO-Ukraine deal at the summit in Washington, saying: “And now I want to hand it over to the president of Ukraine, who has the same courage as his determination, ladies and gentlemen, President Putin.” Biden then walked away from the mic and returned to shout: “President Putin! They’re going to beat President Putin. President Zelensky – I’m so focused on beating Putin that we have to worry about this.”
slips of the tongue…
US President Joe Biden’s mistake surprised those in the room, but Ukraine’s leader Zelensky, who is fighting against Russia’s 2022 attack, laughed it off. When fellow leaders were asked questions about Biden at the NATO summit, their answers were largely supportive of him. After President Biden’s latest mistake, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that ‘slips of the tongue happen, and if you keep an eye on everyone enough, you will find enough mistakes.’

Big mistake before the ‘Big Boy’ press conference
French President Emmanuel Macron said Biden appeared responsible, while British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was in good form. However, his latest verbal lapse couldn’t have come at a worse time. Because Biden is set to address a press conference on Thursday, called the “Big Boy” press conference by the White House. Which is his first major public appearance since his debate with Donald Trump.
