President Joe Biden introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as ‘President Putin’ in a brutal gaffe at the NATO summit with his political future hanging by a thread.
The ailing 81-year-old facing mounting calls to drop out of the presidential race said: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin.’
The embarrassing flub in front of world leaders sparked gasps and those in the room had to shout the correct name.
‘No, we’re going to beat Putin,’ Biden said, and blamed the blunder on being ‘so focused’ on defeating the Russian tyrant who invaded Ukraine two-and-a-half years ago.
One of his worst gaffes yet came in front of global allies and shortly before his pivotal ‘big boy’ press conference that could be the final nail in the coffin for his hopes of remaining as the Democratic candidate.
The latest bungled comments will add fuel to the fire for critics who say he isn’t capable of being in office for another four years, yet alone winning in November.
