Biden Confuses Merkel with Kohl, Raising Questions on Acuity

The president's latest gaffes at fundraisers have sparked concerns and ridicule over his mental fitness for office.

President Joe Biden mistakenly referred to late German Chancellor Helmut Kohl instead of Angela Merkel in anecdotes about a G7 meeting, repeating the error at multiple fundraisers.
The gaffe follows a similar mistake where Biden confused French President Emmanuel Macron with François Mitterrand, raising concerns about his mental acuity.
Critics and netizens have seized on these errors to question Biden's fitness for office, with some suggesting his age, 81, is a factor.
The incidents have sparked a mix of concern, ridicule, and speculation on social media, with some users making light of the situation.
Biden's history of public gaffes continues to be a talking point, especially as he prepares for meetings with current German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
