President Biden is being ridiculed for his latest blunder,
appearing to call his predecessor, Donald Trump, the “sitting president.”
The gaffe-prone commander-in-chief’s blunder came during a
speech in South Carolina on Saturday as he repeatedly called Trump a “loser.”
“You’re the reason I am president,” Biden, 81, told the crowd
of Democratic leaders as he touted his record of “promises made and promises kept.”
“You’re the reason Donald Trump is a loser,” he said of his
likely key challenger in the 2024 election.
But online commentators soon said Biden was the real loser as
he slipped up while discussing how “American consumers are facing real
confidence in the economy we’re building.

“Let me tell you who else is noticing that: Donald Trump,”
Biden said before he stumbled on his words.
“Did you see what he recently said about … he wants to, he wants to see the
economy crash this year? A sitting president,” he said without
correcting himself.
“As they say in my faith, ‘Bless me, Father, for’ — I mean,
come on, man,” Biden continued.
His comment about the “sitting president” was met with
widespread ridicule.
“OMG – Biden really called Trump the sitting president. The
conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day with this one,” one
user said on X.

“Did this Dummy just call Donald Trump the sitting
President?” another wrote, adding laughing emoji.
A third user added: “Mash-potato-brain Joe Biden calls Trump the sitting
president. Senile POS.”
Trump backers reveled in Biden’s slip-up, which appeared to
corroborate the Republican front-runner’s widely debunked claims to have won
the 2020 presidential election amid alleged voter fraud.

“Isn’t he the sitting president?” wrote one user, who added an emoji that indicates
suspicion.
“Biden accidentally told the truth … DJT is the sitting
president,” a self-described “MAGA patriot” wrote.
It is just the latest slip-up for Biden, who is already the
oldest-ever president and would be 86 at the end of his second term if he won
re-election.
A recent New York Times poll found 71% of swing-state voters say Biden is
“too old to be an effective president,” while just 39% said so of
Trump, 77. Biden’s defenders say he’s simply prone to gaffes that are
aggravated by a lifelong stutter.
