For those who didn't read the article, Trump claims Biden is too old and senile to be trusted to run the country then proceeds to confuse WW2 and WW3, then confused Biden and Obama and then immediately after confused Hilary and Obama (ie, the headline slightly understates it if anything.)

Here's the citation:

"The radical left thugs have weaponised law enforcement to arrest their leading political opponent … leading by a lot … including Obama," he said before catching the error and trying to get back on track but appearing to forget that it was Hillary Clinton he beat in the 2016 presidential election.

"I'll tell you what … you take a look at Obama and you look at some of the things that he's done, this is the same thing, the country was very divided and we did with Obama, we won an election they said that couldn't be won."

It made no sense to me, I thought I was used to how this guy speaks. I listened to the video. It's the same thing. makes no sense.
