Biden Mischaracterizes Trump's Remarks, Calls Him 'Sitting President' in Speech

The President's verbal gaffe sparks widespread ridicule and questions about his mental fitness.

President Joe Biden mistakenly referred to former President Donald Trump as the 'sitting president' during a speech at a Democratic Party dinner in South Carolina.
Biden's comment sparked widespread ridicule online, particularly among conservative commentators and Trump supporters.
During his speech, Biden also mischaracterized a statement from Trump, claiming that Trump wished for an economic crash, which was not accurate according to the context of Trump's original statement.
Trump's statement, made during an interview, expressed his hope that if an economic crash were to occur, it would happen before a potential second term for him, to avoid criticism similar to that faced by former President Herbert Hoover during the Great Depression.
Biden's verbal slip-ups have been a recurring issue, leading to questions about his mental fitness, particularly as he is the oldest person to have held the office of President.
