President Joe Biden is currently facing criticism after mistakenly calling Donald Trump the “sitting president” while giving a speech in South Carolina about the economy.
Biden, 81, appeared to mumble as he made the shocking statement. He also called Trump a “loser,” highlighting how he refused to visit a cemetery to pay tribute to fallen U.S. soldiers.
This comes after Trump was ordered to pay columnist E. Jean Carroll $83 million in a defamation trial.
Joe Biden Calls Donald Trump A ‘Sitting President’
During an economic speech in South Carolina, Biden suffered a major blunder as he referred to his predecessor, Trump, as the current “sitting president.”
He said, “The American consumers are facing real confidence in the economy we’re building. Let me tell you who else is noticing that- Donald Trump.”
Biden then seemed to stumble on his words while giving his speech, as he asked, “Did you see what he recently said about.. he wants to, he wants to see the economy crash this year? A Sitting President.”

Not correcting himself, Biden continued his speech by calling Trump a “loser” for referring to the U.S. fallen soldiers as “suckers and losers” after refusing to pay a visit to a cemetery in France.
The president stated, “And referred to those heroes, and I quote, as ‘suckers and losers.’ He actually said that! How dare he say that. The only loser I see is Donald Trump.”
Biden also claimed that his political adversary knows that the U.S. economy is “good and strong and getting stronger.” He added, “[Trump] knows that while it’s good for America, it’s bad for him politically.”
Joe Biden Gets Called Out Online For His Mistake
Over on X (formerly known as Twitter), netizens slammed the president for making such a mistake, while others claimed that Biden knows who the real president is, referring to the belief by many Republicans that the 2020 elections were stolen from Trump.
One person said, “Nothing more entertaining than two old men making fun of each other.”
Another stated, “OMG – Biden really called Trump the sitting president. The conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day with this one.”
A third person commented, “Trump is the rightful president. He’s just letting Joe play dress up to show the world how well Democrats run the country.”
“This is elder abuse…. He might deserve it, but it looks bad, very bad, horribly bad,” said a fourth individual.
Another person wrote, “LMAO. WTF is wrong with this dude? Biden can not really be the president of the United States. What an embarrassment.”
