President Biden’s Fumble Goes Viral After Another ‘Happy Birthday’ Gaffe
During an event marking the signing of the Social Security Fairness Act on Sunday, President Biden attempted to sing “Happy Birthday” to 17-year-old Eliseo Jimenez, a guest at the White House. However, he appeared to forget how to correctly say Jimenez’s name, mumbling instead as the crowd sang, “…dear Eliseo.” The incident quickly went viral, with many of Biden’s critics making jokes at his expense and celebrating the forthcoming end of his presidency.
The latest gaffe is just the latest in a series of verbal errors and memory lapses that have raised concerns about Biden’s mental acuity. Many Twitter users, including comedians and commentators, ruthlessly mocked Biden’s performance, with some jokingly suggesting that the president is declining mentally and will be unable to fulfill his duties in the future.
The incident has sparked concerns about the potential consequences of Biden’s cognitive decline, with some arguing that it is a serious issue that should be addressed by the media and the public. Others have defended the president, suggesting that the gaffe was minor and not significant.
This is not the first time Biden has been criticized for his memory lapses. In January 2023, he appeared to forget the name of Arndrea Waters King, the wife of Martin Luther King III, while singing “Happy Birthday” to her at a White House event. The incident sparked a wave of ridicule and concern about Biden’s mental fitness for office.
