Donald Trump on Saturday once again appeared to confuse President Joe Biden and Former President Barack Obama at his rally. Trump, who has regularly claimed that his mishaps with their names are because he is intentionally saying Obama is pulling the strings of Biden's presidency, was telling a story about Russia and other foreign parties when he made a slip that was apparently not intentional.
Trump was talking about how he dealt with terrorists when he was the president, before he mentioned what he called a "rigged" 2020 election. "We had this fool take over!" Trump shouted, further claiming without details that he will end the Russia-Ukraine war if he is elected. "Get that war settled, that's a bad war," he said.
That's when he makes the apparent slip-up. "And Putin has such little respect for Obama that he's starting to throw around the 'nuclear' word. You heard that, nuclear. He's starting to talk nuclear weapons today," Trump said Saturday. "I was waiting for that to happen. But we have a fool as a president."
@Acyn, who posted the video on social media, noted that the "crowd goes silent" after Trump makes the mistake involving the presidents' names.

(17,821 posts)He lives in his own reality and is trying to drag everyone else into it. He's been doing it his whole life, but it wasn't a real problem until he got into politics. He thinks he's the best person for the job, as if starring in the Apprentice is good preparation for being POTUS. I guess TV is the place to find our leaders now.

(22,590 posts)The more often he does this kind of thing, the more people are going to notice, and the more that happens, the better.
I'm rooting for him to get worse and worse as fast as possible, until he is so incoherent that he's unintelligible. People can deny all they want, but there's a limit, and there will be a point when his deficiencies become undeniable. That can't happen soon enough!

(35,075 posts)But the memory is still super fresh for this clown.
President Obama was my favorite President of all time, but I accepted the fact that he could only do 8 years and I moved on.
Why hasn't tRump moved on after all these years?
Actually I know why. Obama is the reason why tRump ran for office in the first place. And why he's about to lose his fortune and go to prison. All because tRump couldn't handle a few jokes at a correspondents' dinner. SMH.

The MFer is so bad I bet the guy who played banjo in Deliverance is still trying to decide between Biden and trump. And, I bet money that white wing sites are editing Biden speeches similarly. Gonna be a long 9 months.

(4,131 posts)Trump always comments that Obama is pulling the strings on Biden blah blah blah. Rumples claims he does this on purpose.
The crowd didn't silence like it was suggested and I get that part. What I don't get is the size of the crowds.

(26,257 posts)take notice, and pay closer attention to this failing, out-of-touch want-a-be president again.
He's going to get trounced big-time by Pres. Biden and then the GOP will finally realize that the game is over w/, that tRUMP has cost them major.
Tickle
(4,131 posts)people would then see the difference. If I were Biden and after super Tuesday I would challenge trump. Let Trump get all confused and mumble in front of the country and debate the sugar out of him
SWBTATTReg
(26,257 posts)anyways, he is a coward), and have Joe Biden lay into tRUMP w/ the top 10 zingers. Biden and others have come up w/ some zingers, far better than tRUMP's 5-year-old mentality has come up with.
