One of the most glaring blunders came when Biden confused Vice President Kamala Harris with former President Donald Trump, claiming he wouldn’t have picked “Vice President Trump” due to qualifications. The mix-up not only showcased Biden’s cognitive slip but also highlighted his team’s lack of preparedness.

As if that wasn’t enough, Biden further stumbled when he referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin.” The moment served as a stark reminder of the president’s mental lapses, leaving observers concerned about his fitness for office.
