Think navigating the fog of war is tricky? Try surviving a NATO meeting in foggy Joe Biden’s America. In a moment that could only be described as the defining blooper of a blooper-prone administration, President Biden managed to introduce Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin.” Yes, you read that right—Biden mistook a man defending his country from Russian invasion for the very man leading the charge.
Biden freaks out at a reporter for asking him about referring to Zelensky as "President Putin."

Imagine the scene: high stakes press conference, all eyes on Biden, and instead of soaring rhetoric or a competent display of leadership, he turns a crucial moment into a stand-up comedy routine. The Twitterverse naturally erupted, with Townhall.com leading the charge, capturing the moment in a clip that’s sure to haunt Biden right through November.
While Biden bumbles abroad, back home, his campaign is working overtime to calm the jittery Democrats who are watching their electoral chances sink faster than Biden’s approval rating. The number of Democrats suggesting Biden step aside has now ballooned to 14, each more desperate than the last. Their mantra seems to be “anyone but Joe,” and it’s easy to see why—just ask the good people who witnessed his latest international faceplant.
Illinois Representative Schneider, ever so diplomatically, suggests it’s time to pass the torch to a newer, presumably more alert generation. Schneider may love Biden, but his plea for change is practically Shakespearean: “For the good of the realm, King Joe must abdicate.”
Meanwhile, Senator Bob Casey, professed friend of Biden, evaded questions on Biden’s fitness like they were yoga stretches on a Sunday morning. He’s focused on his own race, he says. Translation? Even Biden’s pals are jumping ship faster than rats on a sinking vessel.
As if things couldn’t get more cringe-worthy, First Lady Jill Biden took it upon herself to campaign for Joe, dishing out the classic “he’s all in” narrative. Translation for the rest of us: Jill’s doing damage control because Joe can’t be trusted not to embarrass himself in a public setting. If he’s so “all in,” why isn’t he out there leading the charge? It’s as if Team Biden thinks they can still win this thing by playing peekaboo with the American public.
With the Democrats’ panic spreading like wildfire and Biden continuing to churn out gaffes like an SNL skit on steroids, one thing’s clear: the road to November is going to be a bumpy ride for Team Biden. Conservatives might as well grab some popcorn—it’s going to be an entertaining show.
