It seems that IT is not normal for US President Biden to make every public appearance now, and his speech in Portland yesterday "lived up to expectations" and made a mistake...
According to the Russian Satellite News Agency reported on the 22nd, on the 21st local time, when Biden made a speech on the government's investment in infrastructure in Oregon, he could not remember the name of an official he wanted to thank, and the audience instantly laughed.
Embarrassed, Biden "blackened himself": "You can also call me 'Biden', 'Joe Biden'." ”
According to US media reports on the 21st, US President Biden went to the western United States to promote the midterm elections, and on the same day he visited Portland, Oregon, to publicize the progress he made on the agenda before the November midterm elections.
It was Biden's first visit to the state since he became president, and he was accompanied by Governor Kate Brown, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and members of the Oregon Legislature delegation.
Biden touted the benefits of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that Congress passed last November and the $1.5 trillion federal financial spending bill passed last month, saying billions of dollars would be spent on improving aging infrastructure in the Pacific Northwest.
He noted that hundreds of miles of dilapidated roads, bridges in poor condition and vital infrastructure were vulnerable to the quake, but said all the problems were caused by his predecessor, Republican Donald Trump, who was preparing to address them. "The United States has not invested in our airports, ports and railroads for a long time. We used to have the best infrastructure in the world – that's a fact. We are now in 13th place and the United States in 13th place. We stopped investing in ourselves. ”
Biden also praised the infrastructure bill and others for creating millions of jobs in his speech, and said Democrats had succeeded in rebuilding efforts, arguing that the administration had taken meaningful steps to slow record inflation.

However, just as Biden was talking about infrastructure development and decided to thank the representatives of local officials who came to the scene, a scene of oolong happened again:
He closed his eyes and pondered, unable to remember the name of Earl Blumenauer, Democrat of Oregon, "Thank you Ron Wyden, Jeff Merkley, and Earl Bam... Earl..."
The audience laughed, and in order to alleviate the embarrassment, Biden also joked about "Bang Zun" and said, "Sorry, you can also call me 'Biden', 'Joe Biden'." ”
Can't remember... Can't remember... I just can't remember...
The US media also reported that Biden also made a joke that he would not count on the same day, and he happily mentioned that he had been the "president for 19 months" in his speech. If you count from the date of his confirmation of his election on January 7, 2021, Biden has only been president for more than 15 months.
This also makes the Russian satellite news agency can't help but spit when reporting the relevant content: Does he (Biden) know that someone calls him a "gaffe machine"?
As the oldest president in U.S. history, Biden is often attacked by Republicans for his physical and mental condition. Coupled with his mispronouncies, confusion and even off-topic when speaking or answering questions, Biden has repeatedly appeared on the media page.
This April alone, Biden has created many "famous scenes":
Describing "prosecute" as "prostitute", he didn't know it and turned the whole place awkwardly.
The next day, Putin was blamed for the rise in U.S. prices, and he opened his mouth to say, "The two largest grain producers in the world, China and, sorry, Ukraine and Russia..."
Two days later, after the speech, he shook hands with the air.
……
Probably finally can not withstand Biden's excessive frequency of mistakes, in the previous two days of the White House Easter egg rolling event, a "Easter Bunny" played by the White House staff turned out to be born, and directly "dragged away" when Biden "answered the question" of Afghanistan.
This scene has caused many ridicule and questions, "The most powerful leader in the world must listen to a rabbit." ”
