Trump Mistidentifies World Leader At Rally — This Time It’s Not Obama for Biden
Former President Donald Trump misidentified a world leader during a speech — after repeatedly mistaking former President Barack Obama for President Joe Biden in other recent speeches.
Trump campaigned in New Hampshire Monday, where he did a photo op to register for the state’s primary and later held a rally at the New England Sports Center in Derry.
In one of several bizarre moments during his Derry speech, Trump misidentified Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orban as the “leader of Turkey” after mixing up Obama and Biden several times in recent weeks.
After wandering off-topic for a few moments, Trump went on to correctly identify the nation Orban leads and praised the authoritarian for his praise of Trump:
The world is exploding. If you take a look. I mean, the whole world is exploding. You know, I was very honored. There’s a man. Viktor Orban. Did anyone ever hear of him? It’s probably like one of the strongest leaders anywhere in the world. And he is the leader of (audience member shouts) Right? He’s the leader of Turkey.
Fronts on both Russia, fronts on both Russia. Yeah. You could sit down. Well, be here for a little while. You got plenty of time with that. I’m very honored that you’re all standing, but sit down. They’ll be standing in a couple of minutes as soon as we say some of the things they like. Because they’re waiting. They’re waiting for that.
But Viktor Orban, and he’s the head of Hungary and he runs it tough let me tell you, he runs it properly. He runs it strong with crime and everything else. He runs it strong and he doesn’t let terrorists into his country.
Trump also demanded credit for noticing the similarity between the pronoun “us” and the abbreviation “U.S.”
