‘Absolute clown show’: Biden sparks mockery after mixing up Norway and Finland while speaking about NATO and foreign policy

RENO, NEVADA: President Joe Biden slammed former President Donald Trump on Tuesday, March 19, for having “no basis of understanding” of foreign policy, but he subsequently muddled up Norway and Finland when discussing NATO, according to DailyMail.

President Biden told a throng of approximately fifty Democratic Party supporters at a campaign stop in Reno, “This guy – he has no basis of understanding what American foreign policy is about.”

Additionally, the Commander-in-Chief said that when Trump spoke about Russian President Vladimir Putin, he sounded as though he had "lost a buddy".

“This guy's talking about like he has lost almost a buddy,” the 81-year-old incumbent POTUS remarked.

What prompted Joe Biden to botch his speech midway?

During Tuesday’s speech, President Biden committed a glaring slip-up, which would be one of several missteps where he has confused world leaders and countries while speaking in public.

Specifically, while discussing a conversation he had with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger shortly before the latter's passing, Biden recounted that Kissinger had spoken about Sweden and Norway joining NATO.

The President further stated that he was instructed by Kissinger to "increase the NATO border through Sweden and Norway" in order to fortify the alliance.

Notably, while Kissinger did indeed advise strengthening the alliance, Norway was an original member of NATO, and Sweden and Finland had only joined the alliance in the past year, during President Biden's tenure in the White House.

President Biden visited Reno to inaugurate a new campaign office that will collaborate with the local Democratic Party to attract support from Latino and union voters in the upcoming November election. In order to win Nevada, the President needs the backing of these two groups.

During his address, Biden dedicated a significant portion of his speech to criticizing his political adversary, without ever mentioning the Republican candidate's name, although, it was quite evident who he was referring to.

Biden repeated a comment that Trump told supporters at Mar-a-Lago, even checking his conspicuous note card to ensure he got it correct.

“He was in Mar Lago and he told a crowd of people - I want to look down so I get it exactly right - he said he described the crowd as I know you're rich as hell. But I'm gonna give you those big tax cuts.”

The Commander-in-Chief also derided the press because the media houses “report a lot of polls.”

He continued, “The last four polls had me up' but didn't say which polls.

“None of the polls mean a damn thing this early on,” Biden asserted.

President Joe Biden expressed his confidence in winning another term as the POTUS and conveyed his message to the enthusiastic crowd of supporters, “I'm confident if we get our message out to the American people we're going to win again.”

“I feel really good as I go around the country. Not a joke,” he further added.

In the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden emerged victorious in the state of Nevada with a narrow margin of 2 percent over his Republican opponent Donald Trump.

In an effort to consolidate his position in the southwestern region of the United States, Biden will be visiting two states on Tuesday.

His first stop will be in Nevada, where he aims to bolster his support and engage with his supporters, followed by a visit to Las Vegas, before he proceeds to Phoenix, Arizona, for his second engagement of the day.
