Joe Biden’s latest blunder raises concerns for his mental health

During a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in the Oval Office, US President Joe Biden mistakenly announced plans for US airdrops of aid into “Ukraine” instead of the intended destination, the Gaza Strip.

This misstep has prompted further scrutiny of the 81-year-old leader’s mental acuity.

Biden’s confusion occurred twice during the meeting as he stated,

“In the coming days, we are going to join with our friends in Jordan and others in providing airdrops of additional food and supplies into Ukraine and seek to continue to open up other avenues into Ukraine, including the possibility of a marine corridor to deliver large amounts of humanitarian assistance.”

After realizing the error, Biden clarified his statement by acknowledging, “the truth is, aid flowing to Gaza is nowhere nearly enough now.”

Following the meeting, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby confirmed to reporters that Joe Biden had indeed intended to reference Gaza when he mentioned “Ukraine.”

This incident follows previous instances where Biden made factual errors. In February, he reportedly told donors at fundraisers that he had conversations with former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and former French President Francois Mitterrand in 2021, despite both leaders having passed away years earlier.

Furthermore, on February 8, during a press conference, Biden mistakenly referred to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as the “president of Mexico.”

These errors have contributed to ongoing discussions regarding Biden’s cognitive abilities, particularly amidst denials of perceived senility and controversies surrounding classified documents.
