Donald Trump couldn't wait to jump on Joe Biden's major bloopers after the president referred Thursday to Urkaine President Vladimir Zelenskyy as Vladimir Putin at a NATO event and called Trump his "vice president" at a press conference later.
Trump mockingly referred to Biden's "Big Boy press conference" and shared clips of the president's gaffes in posts on Truth Social.
"Great job, Joe!" he taunted in one post.
Trump attacked another stumble in which Biden said he was following the advice of his "commander in chief" on military assistance to Ukraine. Biden is the U.S. military's commander in chief. The president quickly corrected himself saying that he had consulted the "chiefs of staff of the military, as well as the secretary of defense and our intelligence people."
Trump stumbled, however, when he misquoted Biden on a gaffe in Truth Social. He claimed Biden said Vice President Kamala Harris was "not fit to be president." In fact Biden said she was qualified to be president, though he initially mistakenly referred to Trump as his vice president.
Trump also boasted about his meeting with hard-right Hungarian President Viktor Orban at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday, reposting a tweet from Orban saying the men talked peace and that Trump is "going to solve it."
It was a reference to the war in Ukraine, launched in what Trump has called a "genius" move by Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he frequently praises.
The meeting was apparently Trump's way of staging an international huddle to rival Biden's appearance at NATO's 75th Summit in Washington, D.C., Thursday. As a convicted felon, Trump is currently not allowed to travel outside of the U.S.
Biden stumbled Thursday in appearances he was no doubt hoping would help erase his disastrous performance debating Trump earlier this month from the public's mind.
Biden was at the podium at the NATO announcing a compact that would unite allies in Ukraine's war against Russia when he referred to Zelenskyy as "President Putin" before quickly correcting himself.
Later at a press conference Biden called Trump his vice president.
"Look, I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president [if] I think she's not qualified to be president," Biden told reporters before correcting himself and naming Harris.
