Media Calls Out Trump For Thinking That Obama Is Still Commander In Chief In Latest Speech: 'Trump Is Again Confused About Who Is President'

In a recent speech, former President Donald Trump mistakenly referred to Barack Obama as the incumbent president instead of Joe Biden.

What Happened: The slip-up occurred during Trump's address in Claremont, New Hampshire, on Saturday, when he inaccurately claimed that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban had called for Obama's resignation and had suggested Trump should be the replacement, reported Mediaite.

"They were interviewing him two weeks ago and they said, 'What would you advise President Obama? The whole world seems to be exploding and imploding,'" Trump said of Orban. "And he said 'It’s very simple. He should immediately resign and they should replace him with President Trump, who kept the world safe.'"

Journalist Jonathan Karl, co-host of ABC's "This Week," along with Biden's campaign, was among those who highlighted Trump's mistake. Karl pointed out the inaccuracy in Trump's statement, emphasizing that Obama is not the current president.

Trump is again confused about who is president ...

He tells the crowd that Hungarian leader Viktor Orban has called for Obama to step down as president to be replaced immediately by Trump.
