Former President Donald Trump claimed that his mix-ups of ex-President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden were intentional and insisted he is not ācognitively impairedā.
Trump, 77, blasted news reports that he repeatedly confused the 44th and 46th presidents in a Truth Social rant on Monday morning.
āWhenever I sarcastically insert the name Obama for Biden as an indication that others may actually be having a very big influence in running our Country,ā wrote Trump.
āRon DeSanctimonious and his failing campaign apparatus, together with the Democratās Radical Left āDisinformation Machine,ā go wild saying that āTrump doesnāt know the name of our President, (CROOKED!) Joe Biden. He must be cognitively impaired.āā

Trump continued: āNo, I know both names very well, never mix them up, and know that they are destroying our Country.ā
The 45th president has mixed up Obama and Biden at least seven times in recent months, Forbes reported. Clips of Trumpās apparent gaffes have been circulating social media.
Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantisā campaign last week shared one such slip-up of Trump saying, āWe did it with Obama, we won an election they said couldnāt be won.ā
Trump beat Obamaās Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, in 2016 and lost the 2020 election to Biden.
On Monday, Trump also referred to his health report he shared on social media on Bidenās 81st birthday a week ago.
āI just took a cognitive test as part of my Physical Exam, and ACED it. Also ACED (a perfect score!) one taken while in the White House,ā wrote Trump.
āBiden should take one so we can determine why he wants Open Borders, No Energy Independence, A Woke Military, High Inflation, No Voter I.D., Men playing In Womenās Sports, Only Electric Cars & Trucks, A Weaponized DOJ/FBI, and so many other CRAZY things!!!ā
Trumpās health report by his personal physician, Dr Bruce Aronwald, stated that his ācognitive exams were exceptionalā. Trump seemed to share it to contrast himself from his 2024 opponent Biden, whose age has raised concerns among Americans around whether he is fit to serve another four years.
Biden would be 86 years old if is re-elected and completes a second term. Biden has uttered numerous gaffes, including one on his birthday in which he confused pop stars Britney Spears and Taylor Swift.
Ex-President Donald Trump claimed he confused former President Barack Obama with President Joe Biden ‘sarcastically’.Ā
