Former President Donald Trump seemingly had a mix up between President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama again during a rally speech in Virginia via The Business Insider.
“Putin has so little respect for Obama that he’s starting to throw around the nuclear word. You heard that. Nuclear. He’s starting to talk nuclear weapons today,” Trump said on Saturday night. The crowd went silent as Trump referenced Obama, who has not been in office for seven years.

President Trump has made several mistakes on the campaign trail, confusing former President Obama and his Democratic opponent Joe Biden. This has raised concerns about his age and mental capacity to hold office. In addition, he has also made other gaffes, such as confusing his Republican rival Nikki Haley with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In response to this mistake, Haley questioned Trump’s mental fitness to be president.
Trump appeared to address his regular blunders in January, claiming he purposefully mixes up Biden and Obama to suggest “Obama is running the show.” He has also repeatedly claimed that he has “aced” a cognitive test.
As the November election approaches, questions have been raised about whether the two presumptive nominees, Biden and Trump, are too old to be president. Biden has also made his fair share of flubs, this week appearing twice to mix up Gaza with Ukraine in aid announcement. At 77 and 81, Trump and Biden are the oldest people to run for the presidency in the US.
