US President Joe Biden confused his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron with France’s long-dead former leader Francois Mitterrand, in a campaign speech shared on social media.

Addressing a campaign event in Las Vegas on Sunday, the 81-year-old US leader included an anecdote about Macron’s reaction to a speech at a G7 meeting in 2020.

“And Mitterrand from Germany — I mean, from France — looked at me and said, ‘You know, what — why — how long you back for?'” Biden said.

A later White House transcript inserted the correct name, Macron, in brackets.

Mitterrand was French president from 1981 to 1995, and died in 1996.

Video of the mix-up has been widely viewed and shared on social media, and shared hundreds of times.

Biden has made similar public mistakes in the past, notably in September 2022 when he called on a deceased congresswoman at a conference she helped organize.

“Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie? I think she was going to be here,” he said, referring to Indiana representative Jackie Walorski, who had died a month earlier.

And in April last year, a White House transcript corrected Biden when he confused New Zealand’s All Blacks rugby team with the Black and Tans, a British military force notorious for its involvement in the Irish War of Independence.

The transcript of his speech, given in a pub in Ireland, crossed out “Black and Tans” and inserted “All Blacks”.

Biden’s predecessor and probable opponent in the November presidential election, Donald Trump, made a similar gaffe last month, confusing his party rival Nikki Haley with former House speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Biden, Trump come under age scrutiny
Trump, 77, had falsely said Haley was in charge of security during the violent assault on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, prompting her to question his mental fitness during a campaign speech.

Following Trump’s gaffe, Biden also took the opportunity to make a dig at his potential presidential rival.

“I don’t agree with Nikki Haley on everything, but we agree on this much: She is not Nancy Pelosi,” he had written in a post.

Age is not reversible.

Another bala blue bulaba from a town hall meeting.
When aged men refuse to quit the scene for the younger generations...

🥵

Thiefnubuu did more than this.

BAT elder brother.

The gerontocrats playing ludo with the lives of the youths, worldwide.

Grandfathers who should be confined to "Senior Living Facilities" making decisions for the youths with their failed obsolete ideas.

That was how the Republican Senate leader (Mitch McConnel) was on air giving a speech and got frozen in time for minutes looking like a zombie.

Disgraceful..

LIke BAT

Second Tinubu the drug master.

These old men they won't leave power

Sometimes when I want to mock Nigeria for having Tinubu as president, I remember America.
I remember sleepy Ol' Joe Biden

Retrograde amnesia I hope he still recognises button for nuclear warheads. So that he will not confuse it for panic button. These old lots suppose don resign for proper treatment

Tinubu brother

Wahala

And he still want to run for president, person wen suppose jejely waka

Noted.

honestivo:
These old men they won't leave power

Paul Biya....comes to mind.

80 years old man😁

Grandpa been talking to the dead 🤣

Today is February 7 and federal government workers haven’t received January salary
Hmm it is well

This one brain don dey go. Old age na old age.

Ha ha ha


Results of old age.....Democrats better bring up a more worthy opposition than the incumbent (Biden).....

Otherwise The Republicans, principally Donald Trump, or Ron DeSantis, whoever wins, will route the man. It won't even be as close as Hillary Clinton/Trump's was!

President Biden presently has the lowest popularity of ANY sitting president IN AN ELECTION YEAR!

Life. You can't cheat nature. He is an old man and very much expected. Just that it would've been more honorable for him to quit that highly exalted office due to his age. On a normal day, Biden is very intelligent and eloquent. But we are all like leaves 🍃 and flowers 💐 that wither with time ⏲️

He has made his marks on earth 🌎 already

BULABA!

Sleepy Joe for a reason. More weapons added to Trump's arsenal. I'm sure he'd mention it in one of his rallies.

No big deal, it's just old-age worrying him. Maybe Mitterand is calling him to come over to the other side
