President Joe Biden Appears to Forget the Name of Hamas in Mumbling Speech

In his speech at the White House on Tuesday, President Joe Biden struggled to recall the name of Hamas, the terrorist group at war with Israel, until a member of the press eventually cued him in. In response to a query regarding the process of reaching a hostage settlement following his address, Biden stated, “This indirectly has a lot to do with the hostage deal and what’s going on in the…

What's not worth noticing....

Five drowned rich people on a one-time dive boat trip for fun.

Joe Biden's public gaffes.

A son who volunteers to take over the barbecue - should go without saying.

The luxury of buying a bottle of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti at Sotheby's for $558,000.

Weekdays.

What's worth noticing...

Five hundred drowned poor people every month for years in the Mediterranean Sea in failed attempts to survive.

Donald Trump's treason behind closed doors.

A son who still doesn't recognize the need to clean up - should go without saying.

The luxury of getting clean drinking water from the tap for pennies.

Weekends.

During a speech on Sunday night, Donald Trump repeatedly spoke as if Barack Obama were the current president. It wasn’t the first time. In recent speeches, Trump has also claimed to have beaten both Obama and George W. Bush in 2016. That’s when he wasn’t promising to use irrigation ditches to bring water to bathrooms or keep California’s forests damp. It’s not that Trump hasn’t always been an egotistical, vindictive jackass with few concerns for whether his hateful, antisemitic, misogynistic, and racist rants had even a passing encounter with the truth. But this is different. In the 2024 campaign, and in the messages he posts to social media, Trump has been in a confused and addled state, one where he has frequently makes statements that are both incoherent and irreconcilable with reality. Still, did you hear that President Joe Biden made a “gaffe”? Sure you did. Because the media not only devotes heavy coverage to Biden’s every hesitation or stumble, it goes out of its way to create them even when they don’t exist. All to promote a narrative that Biden is old and losing his grip, while Trump is somehow vigorous. That narrative isn’t just a clear disservice; it’s a signal measure of how willing major media outlets are to coddle Trump, savage Biden, and keep the nation in the dark.

Donald Trump is unraveling, and the media is covering it up

'Selfishness' of American troops: Joe Biden called an 'embarrassment' for gaffe in Saudi speech

‘Selfishness’ of American troops: Joe Biden called an ’embarrassment’ for gaffe in Saudi speech

President Joe Biden is being trolled for misspeaking while delivering a speech on the final day of his trip to the Middle East. Biden used the word ‘selfishness’ instead of ‘selflessness’ while talking about American troops. This latest gaffe comes shortly after Biden stunned listeners in Israel as he spoke of the “honor of the Holocaust”, before correcting himself and saying, “horror of the…

[mariacallous]

On Sunday, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson went on television and mixed up Iran and Israel. “We passed the support for Iran many months ago,” he told Meet the Press, erroneously referring to an aid package for the Jewish state. Last night, the Fox News prime-time host Jesse Watters introduced South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as hailing from South Carolina. I once joined a cable-news panel where one of the participants kept confusing then–Attorney General Jeff Sessions with Representative Pete Sessions of Texas. I don’t hold these errors against anyone, as they are some of the most common miscues made by people who talk for a living—and I’m sure my time will come.

Yesterday, President Joe Biden added another example to this list. In response to a question about Gaza, he referred to the Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as the president of Mexico. The substance of Biden’s answer was perfectly cogent. The off-the-cuff response included geographic and policy details not just about Egypt, but about multiple Middle Eastern players that most Americans probably couldn’t even name. The president clearly knew whom and what he was talking about; he just slipped up the same way Johnson and so many others have. But the flub could not have come at a worse time. Because the press conference had been called to respond to Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on Biden’s handling of classified documents, which dubbed the president an “elderly man with a poor memory,” the Mexico gaffe was immediately cast by critics as confirmation of Biden’s cognitive collapse.

But the truth is, mistakes like these are nothing new for Biden, who has been mixing up names and places for his entire political career. Back in 2008, he infamously introduced his running mate as “the next president of the United States, Barack America.” At the time, Biden’s well-known propensity for bizarre tangents, ahistorical riffs, and malapropisms compelled Slate to publish an entire column explaining “why Joe Biden’s gaffes don’t hurt him much.” The article included such gems as the time that then-Senator Biden told the journalist Katie Couric that “when the markets crashed in 1929, ‘Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed. He said, “Look, here’s what happened.”’” The only problem with this story, Slate laconically noted, was that “FDR wasn’t president then, nor did television exist.”

In other words, even a cursory history of Biden’s bungling shows that he is the same person he has always been, just older and slower—a gaffe-prone, middling public speaker with above-average emotional intelligence and an instinct for legislative horse-trading. This is why Biden’s signature moments as a politician have been not set-piece speeches, but off-the-cuff encounters, such as when he knelt to engage elderly Holocaust survivors in Israel so they would not have to stand, and when he befriended a security guard in an elevator at The New York Times on his way to a meeting with the paper’s editorial board, which declined to endorse him. And it’s why Biden’s key accomplishments—such as the landmark climate-change provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act, the country’s first gun-control bill in decades, and the expected expansion of the child tax credit—have come through Congress. The president’s strength is not orating, but legislating; not inspiring a crowd, but connecting with individuals.

That said, although Biden’s Mexico mistake might not be a demonstration of dementia, it is a warning sign of a different sort that his campaign would be wise to heed. Recently, the White House declined to have Biden participate in the traditional pre–Super Bowl interview this coming Sunday. The administration framed this decision as part of a broader strategy favoring nontraditional media, but it was reasonably seen as an attempt to shield the candidate from scrutiny. The president’s staff is understandably reluctant to put Biden front and center, knowing that his slower speed and inevitable gaffes—both real and fabricated—will feed the mental-acuity narrative. But in actuality, the bar for Biden has been set so laughably low that he can’t help but vault over it simply by showing up. By contrast, limiting his appearances ensures that the public mostly encounters the president through decontextualized social-media clips of his slipups.

As Slate observed in 2008, the frequency of Biden’s rhetorical miscues helped neutralize them in the eyes of the public. In 2024, Biden will have an assist from another source: Donald Trump. Among other recent lapses, the former president has called Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán “the leader of Turkey,” confused Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley, and repeatedly expressed the strange belief that he won the 2020 election. With an opponent prone to vastly worse feats of viscous verbosity, Biden can’t help but look better by comparison, especially if he starts playing offense instead of defense.

But none of this will happen by itself. If the president and his campaign want the headlines to be something other than “Yes, Biden Knows Who the President of Egypt Is,” they’ll have to start making news, not reacting to it.

More and more people are calling Joe Biden’s lies “gaffes” and blaming them on senility.

This has become commonplace in the media and I’m seeing it arise in the rhetoric of his political opponents both inside and outside his party.

While he is certainly in cognitive decline, Joe Biden is a habitual liar who has integrated falsehoods in his anecdotes to the point that they’re works of fiction.

He’s done this for political effect his entire career, the problem is he’s done so without lasting consequence.

For contrast Trump would regularly be roasted by corporate outlets for “alternative facts” which were often facts omitted by media or a differing opinion on whatever issue.

Meanwhile Biden is a man who is a known serial plagiarizer bold enough to claim the words of Robert Kennedy and Neil Kinnock among others, and a man who falsely claimed he was a professor for four years at Penn in a public speech not more than two years ago. He’s the author of Corn Pop and Other Tall Tales.

I suppose many are too young to remember the breadth of this clown’s record.

It’s distinguished even within the cesspool of conmen and charlatans that populate Washington DC.

His lies are not gaffes, they’re how this creature has lived his entire life.

Need further proof of Donald Trump's mental decline? He's now claiming he won all 50 states in 2020.

Donald Trump has claimed that he won all 50 states in the 2020 US election at a Florida event where two of his rivals for the Republican presidential primaries were booed for suggesting the party should dump the former president before his legal woes catch up with him. Mr Trump faces 91 criminal charges across four indictments, two of which are related to election interference. [ ... ] "We won every state. We then did great in the election. We got 12 million more votes or so … 12 million more votes than we got the first time. The whole thing is a lie … the whole election is a lie."

Sorry Donald, it's not the election that lies – it's YOU.

Trump’s false or misleading claims total 30,573 over 4 years

The media continues to normalize Trump's unfitness. These are not simple gaffes, they are signs of dangerous self-delusion. Most people would not hire a dog walker who exhibited such symptoms of decay.

Joe Biden says son Beau died in Iraq during speech in Colorado

Biden saluted the bravery of the 10th Mountain Division in battle in Italy, before claiming his son ‘Beau’ lost his life in Iraq. The president said: “Just imagine, I mean it sincerely, I say this as a father of a man who won the Bronze Star, the conspicuous service medal, and lost his life in Iraq. Imagine the courage, the daring, and the genuine sacrifice—genuine sacrifice they all made.” A…

National broadcast and cable networks are barely covering Trump’s recent gaffes and incoherent statements

Trump: “Viktor Orban... he's the leader of Turkey.”

Fact: Viktor Orban is Hungary's authoritarian leader.

Yet Trump’s gaffe received less than three minutes of total coverage across all three major cable news networks.

National broadcast and cable networks are failing to cover a series of verbal gaffes and incoherent statements recently made by disgraced former President Donald Trump, the front-runner to win the Republican nomination again in 2024.

As Media Matters has already extensively documented, media outlets have repeatedly obsessed over President Joe Biden's age since he announced his campaign for reelection. The same attention has not been given to his likely challenger, former President Donald Trump, even though the two men are nearly the same age. In fact, in just the last two months, Trump has made a number of nonsensical statements: He has mixed up the authoritarian leaders of Hungary and Turkey; confused his former Republican opponent Jeb Bush and Jeb’s brother, the former president George W. Bush; mixed up a number of his Democratic opponents with former President Barack Obama; and made a garbled statement accusing President Joe Biden of leading the country into “World War II.”

On Monday, a New York Times article finally brought some much-needed attention to the dichotomy between Trump’s own attacks on Biden, compared to Trump’s actual behavior:

But as the 2024 race for the White House heats up, Mr. Trump’s increased verbal blunders threaten to undermine one of Republicans’ most potent avenues of attack, and the entire point of his onstage pantomime: the argument that Mr. Biden is too old to be president. Mr. Biden, a grandfather of seven, is 80. Mr. Trump, who has 10 grandchildren, is 77.

An analysis by Media Matters found that TV broadcast news has given no coverage to these false and incoherent statements from Trump, and cable news has barely covered them. Overall, MSNBC has covered the four recent Trump gaffes the most, still just 35 minutes, and the majority of this coverage has come from just one program, Morning Joe. CNN has covered the gaffes a mere 9 minutes. Fox News, meanwhile, mentioned the gaffes just twice for less than a minute total in the periods studied.

Mixing up Hungarian, Turkish strongmen

Trump commented on October 23 during a campaign speech in New Hampshire: “You know, I was very honored — there’s a man, Viktor Orbán. Did anyone ever hear of him? He’s probably, like, one of the strongest leaders anywhere in the world. He’s the leader of Turkey.”

Orbán is the authoritarian prime minister of Hungary; autocrat Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is president of Turkey. This remark also could have brought renewed attention to Trump’s long-established affection for dictators.

Media Matters reviewed transcripts from October 23 thorough 29 and found that the comment received less than 2 minutes of TV news coverage, mostly spread across MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show and Deadline: White House, plus a single comment on Fox News’ The Five lasting 6 seconds. Broadcast news didn’t cover it at all.

Warning that Biden might start “World War II”

During a September 15 speech at a right-wing event in Washington, D.C., Trump claimed that Biden was “cognitively impaired” and “in no condition to lead,” while warning that his leadership could imperil the United States in “dealing with Russia and possible nuclear war.” Trump then added: “Just think of it. We would be in World War II very quickly if we’re going to be relying on this man.”

World War II happened 80 years ago, a detail Trump missed while he was calling Biden “cognitively impaired.” During the same speech, Trump also seemed confused about whom he is running against in 2024, and whom he ran against in 2016.

'Politicians around the globe have been swatting away potentially damning pieces of evidence — grainy video footage of hotel trysts, voice recordings criticizing political opponents — by dismissing them as AI-generated fakes.

Last month, former president Donald Trump dismissed an ad on Fox News featuring video of his well-documented public gaffes — including his struggle to pronounce the word “anonymous” in Montana and his visit to the California town of “Pleasure,” a.k.a. Paradise, both in 2018 — claiming the footage was generated by AI.

“The perverts and losers at the failed and once disbanded Lincoln Project, and others, are using A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) in their Fake television commercials in order to make me look as bad and pathetic as Crooked Joe Biden, not an easy thing to do,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “FoxNews shouldn’t run these ads.”'

Donald Trump appears to be "losing his marbles," said Michael Tomasky, so why isn't his obvious mental decline a bigger story? For months, Trump has been repeatedly referring to running against Barack Obama in 2016 and in 2024 and showing other disturbing signs of memory loss and incoherence. But he hit a startling new low last week while attacking GOP primary opponent Nikki Haley. At a rally in New Hampshire, he claimed Haley was "in charge of security" for the Capitol on Jan. 6 and was therefore at fault for the invasion of the building by MAGA followers. Huh? Haley was a private citizen in 2021; clearly, Trump was confusing her with then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

This was no simple gaffe: Trump used Haley's name four times in trying to blame her for Jan. 6 - strong evidence he mixed up the two female adversaries "as people" in his mind. Haley, his Republican primary opponent, became Pelosi, his Democratic foil in Congress. If Joe Biden had made a comment this addled, "Fox News would be looping it nonstop."

Trump's revealing error got little attention except for some low-key coverage of Haley "questioning Trump's mental fitness for office." Trump is unfit for that office in so many ways - and now it's clear there's another.
