Donald Trump Flubs Interview Calling Barack Obama the Current President, Reigniting Questions Regarding His Cognitive Abilities
In a recent interview with Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, former President Donald Trump made a flub by identifying the current president as "[Barack] Obama," RadarOnline.com has learned.
This sparked criticism from President Joe Biden's reelection campaign, which attacked Trump's cognitive abilities.
President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign attacked ex-President Donald Trump’s cognitive abilities over flub.
The incident occurred during an interview for Kilmeade's Fox News Radio program, The Brian Kilmeade Show.
The official Biden-Harris rapid response X (formally known as Twitter) account, Biden-Harris HQ, flagged a short moment from the interview, noting that Trump had once again confused who the current president is.
The account provided a brief description of the clip without offering any additional commentary.
Kilmeade spoke to Trump for his Fox News Radio program this week.
According to Mediaite, during the exchange with Kilmeade, the host corrected Trump's mistake, to which Trump responded by pretending he meant to say "Obama" all along. However, Kilmeade corrected him again and pointed out that there is no proof to support Trump's follow-up claim.
Trump went on to discuss his belief that Obama and his people are "calling the shots" in regards to Iran while minimizing Biden's role.
This is not the first time Trump has made this mistake. A few weeks ago, while speaking in Iowa, he insisted that he had beaten Obama in an election.
The Biden campaign has seized on these instances as evidence of Trump's cognitive difficulties, highlighting them on multiple occasions.

This is at least the second time Trump made the same mistake.
The Biden campaign's criticism raises questions about Trump's mental acuity and his ability to accurately remember key details.
The former president's repeated confusion regarding the identity of the current president raises concerns about his overall cognitive abilities.
It is important to note that these statements from the Biden campaign are part of ongoing political battles between the two parties.
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, both sides are likely to continue to draw attention to their opponent's perceived weaknesses.
