He never stops making fun of his opponent Joe Biden, whom he describes as almost senile. However, Donald Trump is anything but innocent. At a meeting in Richmond, Virginia (USA), this Saturday, the Republican candidate also made a big mistake by confusing Joe Biden and Barack Obama, BFMTV reports.
A common mistake
“Putin has so little respect for Obama that he starts throwing around the word “nuclear.” You heard that. Nuclear. “He’s starting to talk about nuclear weapons today,” the 77-year-old former president said confidently to a stunned audience.
According to Forbes magazine, such a mistake is not new for the 25th President of the United States. According to our colleagues, Donald Trump confused Barack Obama and his former vice president seven times between September and November 2023.

Orban, leader of Türkiye?
And that's not the candidate's only mistake. Last October, Donald Trump suggested that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was the leader of Turkey. In January, he also confused his Republican rival Nikki Haley with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The fact is that 81-year-old Joe Biden is actually often mocked for his confusions. He made headlines earlier this month when he claimed to have recently met French President François Mitterrand, whom he actually mistook for Emmanuel Macron.
At 81, the current President of the United States made another mistake this Friday by confusing Ukraine and the Palestinian territories twice. “In the coming days, we will join our friends in Jordan and others in airdropping food and other goods into Ukraine,” he said.
