The endless gaffe series: Biden honors "selfishness" of US soldiers
It isn't the first and probably won't be the last in the endless series of Biden gaffes: The US President honored the "selfishness" of the US soldiers who fought corporate wars in the Middle East. Biden, who has been under large-scale scrutiny from his party for his unfitness for the presidency and senility, quickly corrected "selfishness" with "selflessness" in accordance with what was written on the paper he was reading off from.
The Freudian slip was made at the Jeddah Security and Development Summit in Saudi Arabia, today, Saturday, in the presence of Gulf States, as well as Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq.
Biden, truthfully so, honored the "selfishness" of the US soldiers that continue to occupy countries around the world and reap resources for corporate profit.
Many tongue-in-cheek, as well as disappointing, instances have happened in recent memory.
Around a week ago, Biden, reading off a teleprompter read what he shouldn't have read: "end of quote," and "repeat the line" - and, he actually repeated the line.

In late June, a similar incident that instigated political embarrassment was at the NATO Summit, when he declared that "Ukrainians will not defeat Ukrainians!"
We will be with the #Ukrainians to make sure that the #Ukrainians will not defeat them. That is, that the #Russians will not win — Biden.#Sweden - #Switzerland, #Russians - #Ukrainians. What a difference!#Biden #NATO #NATOSummit #USA #US #UnitedStates #AMERICA pic.twitter.com/4vWzrCPzC7

During the conference, Biden also confused Sweden and Switzerland, as the leader welcomed Switzerland into NATO, before realizing he confused the two and corrected his mistake, saying NATO's expansion has gotten him anxious.
In July 2021, Biden in an address forgot a congressman’s name, then confuses whether a guest’s mother is attending the event and asks if she was in the crowd.

Last week, the New York Times wrote a piece on how Biden's age, 79, with his deteriorating health conditions, are making him increasingly unfit for the presidency.
While still amazing for a man of his age, according to them, his energy level has decreased, and several assistants are keeping a close eye on him. His walking is often shuffling, and his caregivers are concerned he'll tumble on a wire. They wait with anticipation to see if he avoids a slip-up because he frequently makes mistakes while speaking in front of large crowds.
Many Americans believe Biden is too old, as per the polls, and several Democratic strategists do not believe he should run for office again.
He has referred to Kamala Harris, the vice president, as "President Harris" on several occasions. Biden fumbles over phrases like "kleptocracy", despite having overcome a childhood stammer. He has referred to Ukrainians as Iranians and called Virginia's Democratic Senator Mark Warner "John" multiple times, confusing him with the late Republican senator of the same name from Virginia.
As a matter of fact, the White House has been forced to retract some of his impromptu remarks, such as when he threatened a military response if China attacked Taiwan or said that Russian President Vladimir Putin "cannot be in office."
Because the US President seems to not know how to act, his aides decided to hand him a cheat sheet! Mistakenly, the President held out the sheet prepared by his aides in one instance urging the prone-to-mistake leader of the free world to "take YOUR seat" and limit his remarks to "2 minutes".
