During a speech at the state fairgrounds in Columbia, South Carolina on Saturday, President Biden went on the attack, taking shots at former President Trump and calling him a loser. But Biden quickly went off the rails, descending into familiar gaffe territory.
“You’re the reason I am president,” Biden, 81, told the crowd of Democratic leaders as he touted his record of “promises made and promises kept.”
“You’re the reason Donald Trump is a loser,” he said of Trump.
But, according to The New York Post, online commentators soon said Biden was the real loser as he slipped up while discussing how “American consumers are facing real confidence in the economy we’re building.”
“Let me tell you who else is noticing that: Donald Trump,” Biden said before he stumbled on his words.
“Did you see what he recently said about … he wants to, he wants to see the economy crash this year? A sitting president,” he said without correcting himself.
“As they say in my faith, bless me father for, I mean, come on, man,” Biden continued.
