Yesterday’s NATO conference and a follow-up press conference were supposed to put Americans at ease over Joe Biden’s ability to run the free world.

President Joe Biden mixed up the name of his vice president, Kamala Harris, and his Republican rival, Donald Trump, on Thursday at a news conference where the 81-year-old aims to quell concerns that he is too old to run for reelection.
“Look, I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president if she was not qualified to be president. So start there,” Biden said in an inauspicious beginning to the high-profile presser as he responded to a question from Reuters about his confidence in Harris.
The flub quickly drew a cutting response from Trump via his social media platform, Truth Social, where the former president posted video of the “big boy press conference,” Biden’s first since November.
Wrote Trump: “Crooked Joe begins his ‘Big Boy’ Press Conference with, ‘I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president, though I think she was not qualified to be president.’ Great job, Joe!”
That came just a few hours after Biden mistakenly referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as “President Putin.”
