A typical Biden Comedic Interlude

Bumbling Biden Tries to Insult Trump and it Goes Horribly Wrong

In a recent attempt to rally support against the 6-week abortion ban, Joe Biden found himself at Hillsborough Community College’s Dale Mabry campus in Tampa, Florida. However, his presence seemed to go largely unnoticed, with virtually no excitement surrounding his visit.

The contrast between Biden’s lackluster reception and the vibrant energy that former President Donald Trump typically commands in Florida was stark.

As Biden struggled through his speech, attempting to criticize Trump, things took a comical turn when his message got tangled in a web of confusion. In a moment of unintended hilarity, Biden exclaimed, “How many times does [Trump] have to prove we can’t be trusted?!” This slip-up not only failed to land the intended blow on Trump but also left observers scratching their heads at the mixed-up wires in Biden’s rhetoric.

Biden Delivers Remarks on Healthcare Access

Watch How Fast Biden's Face Changes After He Botches Sentence

'Even Joe Is Fed Up with Joe at This Point'

It was a rare moment of unity that President Joe Biden delivered on Tuesday — but it wasn’t the kind any politician wants.

During a speech at the Kempsville Recreation Center in Virginia Beach, Virginia, aimed at touting the benefits of the federal government’s increasing involvement in American health care, Biden bungled one line so badly everyone knew it.

“Bringing down prescription drug cost doesn’t just save money for seniors and Medicare; it’s going to have a significant effect on the federal deficit. It’s going to lower the debt by $159 billion.

“And you say, ‘Well, how can that be, Joe?’ Well, right now, the government — our tax dollars pay out through Medicare the help for the prescription drugs. If they have to pay out 150 thou- — 159 thou- — billion dollars let- — (the President rolls his eyes) — (laughter) — less for prescription drugs, then it reduces the deficit.”

The president knew he screwed up. The audience knew he screwed up. The White House transcript writers didn’t even bother trying to cover it up — they just tried to put the best spin on it possible. It didn’t work.
