Donald Trump, who dominates the US Republican presidential nomination, once again confused Barack Obama with Joe Biden. The Guardian reports that Trump awkwardly confused his rival with the former US president, and the blunder was not his first.

– Putin respects Obama so little that he cultivates threats about nuclear weapons. You heard that right, he’s started talking about nuclear weapons, Trump said in Richmond on Saturday night.

At his campaign rally in Virginia on Saturday, Trump confused the sitting president, Joe Biden, with the former president of the United States, Barack Obama.

Trump has aptly mixed up his words at the same time that the world has been watching Biden’s health and ability to act as the country’s leader with a magnifying glass.

According to Guardian sources, the crowd at the campaign event fell silent when Trump referred to Obama in his speech, who left the Oval Office more than seven years ago.

According to the Guardian’s calculations, this would be the third time that Trump has made a similar slip in public in the past six months.

The age issue is relevant

Trump at 77 and Biden at 81 are the oldest presidential candidates in US history.

The night before Trump’s palm, Biden had just confused Ukraine and Gaza twice. The confusion occurred as Biden announced US humanitarian aid to Gaza.

– In the coming days, we will join Jordan and our other friends when we begin airdrops of food aid and supplies to Ukraine, Biden said on Friday.

The story continues after the picture.

– The United States is also trying to open other roads to Ukraine, including a possible sea corridor, Biden added.

The White House later corrected that the president meant Gaza when talking about aid, not Ukraine.

The age issues raised in relation to both Biden and Trump have been loaded with political agendas. Biden’s age in particular has sparked a lot of discussion in the public during the last few months.

However, for both, aging-related cognitive decline is a legitimate topic of discussion.

A poll conducted by the New York Times and Siena College found that 73 percent of registered voters do not believe that Biden is in good enough shape for his age to carry out the presidency with the efficiency it requires. Of this 73 percent, 61 percent voted for Biden in the 2020 presidential election.

Voters seem to be less worried about Trump, who is only four years younger. In his case, 42 percent of the respondents felt that Trump is too old to handle the office of president effectively enough.
