To say that Joe Biden is messing up his campaign this month is an understatement. After appearing to shake hands with a ghost last Tuesday, the 81-year-old is on it again.
In his remarks on Wednesday, at a trade union conference in Washington, DC, Biden committed a verbal slip-up while reading text on a teleprompter.
“I see an America where we defend democracy, not diminish it. I see an America where we protect freedoms, not take them away,” Biden remarked.
“I see an economy that grows a lot in the bottom up, where the wealthy pay their fair share, so we can have child care, paid leave, and so much more, and still reduce the federal deficit and increase economic folks.”
“Imagine what we could do next. Four more years, pause,” he said and laughed in an attempt to recover from his blunder.
His latest slip-up adds to his long list of gaffes and woes.
Biden was also blasted by Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape last Sunday for his controversial claim that the country was once home to cannibals.
“President Biden’s remarks may have been a slip of the tongue; however, my country does not deserve to be labeled as such,” Marape said.
The Democrats’ presumptive nominee made the comments last week when he retold his tale of the death of his uncle Ambrose Finnegan, whose plane crashed during World War II.
“And he got shot down in New Guinea, and they never found the body because there used to be —there were a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea,” Biden said.
Biden also told his Arizona supporters, “Elect me; I am in the 20th century,” early this month.
This series of blunders fuels the constant question hounding the 81-year-old president about his mental acuity to lead the country.
A survey by the Pew Research Center shows that at least 65 percent of potential voters in the upcoming elections doubt Biden’s physical fitness required to do the job of president.
Moreover, 62 percent of the respondents have little or no confidence in Biden’s mental fitness.
Additionally, 42 percent of voters noted that Trump was a good or great president, while Biden only got 28 percent.

Before his teleprompter gaffe, Biden also messed up his staged visit to a Wawa in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
“Biden ordered a classic-size Italian hamburger with American cheese and a black-white milkshake from the Delaware County-based convenience store that recently celebrated its 60th anniversary,” according to CBS.
What makes the scene hilarious? Biden’s team failed to invite actual fans; his only audience was the media covering his so-called stop.
Worse, Biden struggled to close his takeout box and had to call his handlers to take the box because he needed to order a milkshake.
