Well, there he goes again, folks. President Joe Biden handed over a treasure trove of reasons why his cognitive fitness should concern every American considering heading to the ballot box in 2024. In a captivating display of verbal gymnastics during his first post-debate interview, Biden gifted the nation with yet another chuckle-worthy gaffe that critics will no doubt file under “reasons he’s unfit for another term.”
Anyone with a functional set of ears knows that Biden frequently jumbles his words like a nervous high schooler in a spelling bee. Yet, his latest linguistic train wreck practically carved the concerns into stone for those fearing he wouldn’t mentally survive another White House residency.
Biden: “If Trump wins in November, I'll feel as long as I gave it my all and did the goodest job I know I could do.”
“The goodest job” 😂

Joining George Stephanopoulos on ABC News, Uncle Joe enthusiastically embraced his latest verbal misstep by expressing his near-defeatist attitude towards a potential loss to former President Donald Trump. In all his eloquence, Biden dazzled viewers by saying he’d be at peace with losing as long as he did his “goodest” job. No, that’s not a word, but the President seems determined to redefine the English language one flub at a time.
You do the goodest job you can little guy!

Stephanopoulos highlighted Biden’s dismal approval ratings, noting a cratered 36 percent—a number that, in the history of modern politics, has rarely, if ever, secured re-election. Biden responded with his characteristic murkiness, emphasizing he’d feel satisfied if he gave it his all and did the “goodest” job possible. Apparently, even in Joe’s universe, grammatical accuracy has no bearing on presidential re-election campaigns or cognitive competence.
The collective conservative amusement was palpable as the internet exploded with sardonic humor. Critics swiftly pointed out that Biden’s bungled vocabulary hardly makes the best case for his mental fitness. Comparisons were made to a dictionary about to burst forth with Biden’s unique lexicon, and some imagined Jill Biden’s encouragement as he’d finish his snack, congratulating him on doing the “goodest” job.
The conservative critics could not have scripted it better themselves. With slip-ups like these, one could argue that Biden unintentionally sets the stage for a substantial defeat against Trump. While Biden spins his yarn about inflection points and future decades, his approval ratings and own words suggest he’s more likely to fade into the annals of presidential history with an awkward footnote about doing the “best” job.
And there it is, ladies and gentlemen, another aspiration for the Biden gaffe hall of fame, reminding us all that come November, the decision about who occupies the Oval Office might just come down to who manages to string a coherent sentence together.
