In a recent eyebrow-raising moment, President Joe Biden shared an amusing yet confused anecdote about an interaction he supposedly had with the late François Mitterrand, former President of France. In what seemed like a lapse in historical accuracy, Biden claimed that after his election, he engaged in a G7 meeting with NATO leaders and confidently announced, “America’s back!” To which, according to Biden, Mitterrand responded with, “How long you back for?”

Now, let’s not beat around the bush, folks. The internet was quick to fact-check this story and guess what? It seems like President Biden’s recollection might have been a bit, uh, off. Why? Well, for starters, François Mitterrand ceased to walk this earth back in 1996, which, last time anyone checked, was a pretty considerable chunk of time before Biden donned the title of President.
Can you believe it? It’s as if President Biden had a little mix-up in the ol’ memory department. It’s almost like he’s playing a game of historical “Who’s Who?” with figures from the past and getting his wires all crossed.
But hey, this is just par for the course, right? With all the stumbles and fumbles we’ve seen, it’s getting hard to keep track of what’s fact and what’s fiction coming out of the Biden administration.
Of course, the internet had a field day with this blunder, churning out reactions faster than you can say “fake news.” Critics wasted no time pointing out that maybe, just maybe, not everything President Biden says can be taken at face value. Some suggest that maybe the President’s mental faculties are, well, not exactly operating at peak performance. It seems like there’s a consensus that this mix-up might just be another piece of evidence that, shall we say, not everything is firing on all cylinders up there in the Oval Office.
But hey, who are we to judge? Maybe President Biden just got a little too carried away with his storytelling. After all, when it comes to mixing fact and fiction, it’s not like he’s writing a history book or anything. Right?
