Moment Biden calls Zelensky ‘President Putin’ - then confuses Trump and Kamala Harris

Joe Biden referred to Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin” in front of almost two dozen world leaders on Thursday night, in a significant gaffe that will worsen the crisis engulfing his presidency.

The US president, who is facing calls to stand down over concerns about his age, confused the Ukrainian president with the Russian leader in a speech at the Nato summit in Washington DC.

Mr Biden spoke for several minutes about the importance of protecting Ukraine from Russian aggression, before turning to Mr Zelensky and introducing him by the wrong name.

“Now, I want to hand over to the President of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination,” he said. “Ladies and gentlemen: President Putin.”

Mr Biden was reading from a teleprompter when he made the error.

His second major blunder came just an hour later when the president confused Kamala Harris with Donald Trump.

I thought introducing Zelenski as Putin is the funniest gaff ever, until I heard Jo Biden chose Donald Trump to be his vice president. It was hilarious, best gaff of all times

"I wouldn't have picked vice president Trump to be vice president... " I'm laughing out loud here at 3am.

It was more incredible that the delegates applauded him! Putin and Xi must be wetting themselves with laughter. 😂

[williamtm]

why is everyone clapping so enthusiastically after he called Zelensky Putin? There's no way they didn't they hear what he said

[bobsullivan]

Biden step up to the mic, "Hello, I'm President Putin....Oh, wait!"

I’m sure someone told him what he said when he started to walk away.

So when the crap hits the fan and he says “launch the nukes” and then 3 minutes later says “I mean, don’t launch.” Great leader 😂

How completely wrong. Embarrassing and cringeworthy

[MightySheep]

has anyone ever had such a free ride to presidency as Trump is enjoying right now?

[rafezetter]

No way he gets to stay as president even until November.

[wolfontheroad]

Just shows they'll applaud at anything.

[uppam]

This is not NATO, Its now "Jokers of north Atlantic nations ".😂😂😂😂

[faisal-ca]

He is going to vote for Trump for sure.

[laurenceslean]

Donald Trumps "sleepy Joe" label for Biden, appears more obvious with each passing day. It makes Washington look like a clown's paradise !
