Trump Has Confused Obama And Biden At Least 7 Times In Recent Months—Amid
Other Notable Gaffes


Trump mixed up two of his political nemeses, President Joe Biden and
former President Barack Obama, for at least the seventh time in recent
months Saturday—the latest in a series of gaffes by the 77-year-old former
president that’s made him the target of a line of attack typically used
against the 80-year-old president.

Key Facts

Speaking from New Hampshire Saturday, Trump, recounting a recent interview
he watched of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, said Orban was asked
“what would you advise President Obama? The whole world seems to be
exploding.”

Trump also referenced Obama when he clearly meant Biden, at a rally in
Ottumwa, Iowa, on October 1, twice in a Fox News Radio interview on
October 11 and three times during a September 15 speech before faith
leaders in Washington.

PROMOTED

The incidents are among a series of misstatements from Trump in recent
months that his political foes have sought to capitalize on—the DeSantis
campaign has been highlighting his rhetorical blunders on X, formerly
known as Twitter, sometimes with the help of the Biden campaign.

Biden-Harris HQ reshared a tweet from the DeSantis War Room account
featuring a video of Trump referring to Sioux City, Iowa, as “Sioux Falls”
before Iowa Republican state Sen. Bradley Zaun came on stage to correct
him.

The DeSantis campaign also shared an clip of Trump appearing to confuse
former President George W. Bush and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush during a
September 25 speech in Summerville, South Carolina, and another incident
in New Hampshire in October when he said Orban was the “leader of Turkey.”

Trump correctly stated Orban’s title a week later in Sioux City, but
wrongly stated that Hungary shares a “front” with Russia (neither Hungary
nor Turkey border Russia).

Again appearing to mix up world leaders while praising Russian President
Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jingping and North Korean dictator
Kim Jong Un during a November 8 rally in Florida, Trump said Kim leads a
country of 1.4 billion people (there are only 26 million people in North
Korea, though he might have meant China, which has 1.4 billion).
Big Number

39. That’s the percentage of voters in a Siena College/New York Times
survey of six battleground states released last week who said Trump is too
old to be president, compared to 71% who said the same about Biden.
Key Background

Biden has a long history of both physical and verbal missteps that have
come under heightened scrutiny as he campaigns for re-election. He has
been seen on camera several times this year tripping while making his way
up and down the stairs of Air Force One, and fell particularly hard on
stage at an Air Force graduation ceremony in June. Trump has seized on
Biden’s slip-ups to argue his mental acuity, rather than his age, is the
issue. “We have a guy in the White House who can't put two sentences
together and who could not find his way off this stage,” Trump said in New
Hampshire Saturday. And in Florida last week, he told a crowd, “Biden’s
not too old . . . he’s too incompetent.” Biden and Trump are the likely
nominees for their respective parties, with Trump leading the GOP primary
field by double-digit margins and Biden’s incumbent status all but
guaranteeing him a spot on the ballot next November, though both have
relatively low approval ratings at around 40%. A string of recent polls
showing Biden trailing Trump, including the New York Times survey that
found the president was behind in five of six battleground states, have
raised alarms among Democrats, with some in Biden’s orbit suggesting he
should consider bowing out of the race. Biden, who has spoken openly about
his struggles managing a lifelong stutter, has acknowledged his tendency
to misspeak, calling himself a “gaffe machine” and has also said he
understands voters’ concerns about his age, urging them to focus on his
policy record instead.
