The president of the United States, Joe Biden, was involved in a new scandal related to his memory and cognitive abilities, which has once again called into question his ability to carry out his position.
This Friday, the president held a press conference to celebrate that a special prosecutor decided not to press charges for taking classified documents to his home.
At the meeting, he directly addressed the accusations of prosecutor Robert Hur, who described him as an “old man with a bad memory.” Biden stressed that his memory “is fine” and that he has all the capacity to carry out his administrative functions.
However, at another point in the same conference, the president confused Egypt with Mexico while talking about the crisis in the Middle East.
The moment occurred when, when questioned directly about his memory, Biden interrupted journalists and pointed out that he is the person most qualified to confront Donald Trump and ‘finish what he started’ as president.
There, he acknowledged that he should have handed over all the documents he left in his house after serving as vice president in Barack Obama’s administration, but stated that “I didn’t break the law, period,” beginning to withdraw while they continued to throw questions at him.
At that moment an issue caught his attention and he returned to the microphone, and it was there that he confused Egypt with Mexico, when talking about its president, Abdel Fattah, el-Sissi.
“I am of the opinion, as you know, that the conduct of the response in Gaza, in the Gaza Strip, has been exaggerated. I think, as you know, initially the president of Mexico, El-Sisi, did not want to open the door to allow the entry of humanitarian material. I talked to him. I convinced him to open the door. I spoke with BB (Benjamín Netanyahu) to open the door on the Israeli side. I have been pushing very, very hard to bring humanitarian assistance to Gaza. There are many innocent people who are dying of hunger. There are many innocent people who are in trouble and dying. And this has to stop,” he declared, implying that El-Sisi was a Mexican leader and not an Egyptian leader.
No joke!💥😆 Joe Biden came out to give a press conference to deny rumors about his memory problems. 🧠🇺🇲

Joe Biden’s slips of memory
President Joe Biden’s memory and age have been criticized on several occasions, not only by his opponents in the Republican campaign, but by his own citizens.
Although Biden and his team have indicated that he is well and in perfect condition to carry out the position, the truth is that the president has had multiple slip-ups that have called into question the White House’s statements.
Recently, The president spoke of a “recent” appointment with a former French president who has been dead for more than 30 years. On other occasions she has confused names and positions, she confused her 4-year-old grandson with her son, and then she did not recognize her adult son, and she has even extended her hand to greet the void.
On social networks, thousands of users believe that, if it were a “normal job”, the octogenarian would already be fired, or that they would not even have been given it in the first place, because he was too old.
I’m becoming a conspiracy theorist but Joe Biden seems like an android to me; Seeing how he walks, how he rambles, how he greets his imaginary friend, or the air that I know, how he says meaningless phrases, gives a lot to think about. pic.twitter.com/V0Dwx6KqSj
