Did Joe Biden (77) forget the name of the current president of the United States?
For the digital concert “I’m going to vote” organized by Biden’s campaign team on Sunday, the Democratic presidential candidate spoke about the US elections before the event.
A little later, a video clip of the “interview” went viral on the Internet: Biden obviously mistook US President Donald Trump (74) for former US President George W. Bush! Biden said: “How will our country change? Four more years with George … uh, George … if Trump is re-elected, we will find ourselves in a completely different world. “
US President Trump responded to the slip on Twitter. Trump wrote: “Joe Biden called me George yesterday. I didn’t remember my name. “
Trump further said: Biden had “received help from the moderators to pass the interview.” Then the oracle: The “fake news cartel” wanted to cover up the slip.
Trump’s short video clip and tweets spread like wildfire in the United States, which is looking forward to the November 3 election.
What makes him so explosive: Biden was repeatedly accused by his opponents of being insane. Overall, his old age is a primary point of attack for Trump’s team: At 77, Biden is simply no longer mentally fit for the Oval Office.

But then all of a sudden a new, longer, uncut version of the video clip appeared all over the American media. Turns out: Biden’s interviewee was named George Lopez! In the segment, Biden explains why it is so important that undecided Americans vote for him, that it is about the soul of the country and not so much about whether he will become president, but about whether Trump will remain in office four more years.
The Democrat, who is sitting next to his wife Jill, speaks in clear sentences and then inserts the name “George” twice. Just “George”, not George Bush.
The liberal Washington Post, which is one of the US newspapers most critical of Trump, published both clips and contrasted the one that went viral with the seemingly real and uncut clip.
The discussion, of course, was not over. Because now there is speculation about who is really manipulating here. After all, Trump had previously stated that “fake news” wanted to cover up Biden’s mistake.
The question remains, who will undecided voters believe …
