US President Joe Biden recently made yet another howler while speaking about his administration’s efforts to tackle inflation in the country.

While speaking in Milwaukee, instead of saying that the US has one of the lowest inflation rates in the world, Biden said, “We have the lowest inflation rates of any country in America.”

“Wages are rising faster than prices and now we have among the lowest inflation rates of any country in America. And, still, we are fighting to lower it even further,” Biden said in his address.

He also reiterated a claim about his involvement in the civil rights movement, a narrative he had previously refuted himself.

The President was in Milwaukee, the largest city in the state of Wisconsin, to announce a USD 36 million federal grant for the reconstruction of a bridge.

Biden, 81, the oldest US President, is set to face 77-year-old Republican Donald Trump in a re-match of the 2020 election on November 5, 2024.

Earlier this month, a video of Biden mistakenly saying that the US would be airdropping food and supplies into ‘Ukraine’ instead of Gaza City went viral.

Last month, Biden momentarily confused Palestinian terror group Hamas with the term “opposition” when asked about ongoing hostage negotiations with Israel, but quickly corrected himself.

The president twice mixed up fellow heads of states with their much earlier predecessors in February. First off, he confused French president Emmanuel Macron with Francois Mitterand, who died in 1996, during a rally address to supporters in Las Vegas, Nevada, while recounting a G7 meeting in Cornwall in June 2021.

“Mitterrand from Germany – I mean, from France – looked at me and said, ‘You know, what… why… how long you back for?” President Biden told his puzzled listeners.

Speaking subsequently in New York a few days later, he claimed to have discussed the Capitol riot with German chancellor Helmut Kohl, who passed away in 2017, four years before it took place. He was thinking of Angela Merkel.

Speaking at at the East Room in the White House where he was holding the Annual National Governors’ Association in February, Biden said, “He (Obama) wanted me to get to know (then Vice President) Xi Jinping because it was clear he was going to be the head of Russia (corrects himself) uuuh China and we were having problems with Russia at the time and other countries as well. So what he (Obama) said was get to know him (Jinping), he is going to be there. He (Obama) couldn’t because he was the President, so I travelled 17,000 miles with him throughout the country, in our country and in China as well. We were in the Tibet plateau and he turned to me and said: Can you define America for me? And I looked at him and suggested that I can in one word: Possibilities…”

The 81-year-old is determined to secure a second term in the White House and insists he is confident he can beat the Republican nominee Donald Trump once again. Biden insists he is not deterred by his consistently poor polling and points to the robust success of the US economy under his stewardship, for which he deserves great credit.

However, there’s no denying that President Biden has also made more than his fair share of mistakes and blunders over the years.
