Joe Biden's embarrassing lapse: he confuses Rania from Jordan with Rihanna in his speech

The president of the United States has starred in a new viral moment on social networks. Last Monday, Joe Biden received a visit from King Abdullah of Jordan to promote a ceasefire in Gaza, accompanied by his eldest son and heir, Husseinand his wife, Rania of Jordan. It was precisely with the consort with whom the president had an unfortunate mistake when he confused her with a famous person in the music industry: Rihanna.

The visit of the Hashemite kings has been highly commented on in all the news tables on the television grid. Even more so is the family photo where the Biden couple appear smiling and relaxed, in contrast to the serious faces of the Jordanian kings. An attitude that shows off the different positions of democrats in the recent conflict between Palestine and Israel, where the Jordanian kings made their position in favor of the Palestinians very clear. Rania even carried out humanitarian aid since the beginning of the Israeli war.

However, the most talked about was the press conference that took place after a more private meeting, in which Joe Biden once again starred in one of his popular blunders. The president of the United States confused Rania with the artist Rihanna: “Welcome, Queen Rihanna”, he expressed. A comment that has been used by the opposition to cast doubt on Biden's capabilities as head of the US government and an oversight that Joe himself tried to hide with the continuation of his speech. Meanwhile, King Abdullah did not flinch, but neither did he when Biden asked about Prince Hussein, who was absent at the time.

The reality is that Biden has made several mistakes during his mandate. It already happened when he confused the Egyptian leader Abdelfatah Al Sisi con Andrés Manuel López Obrador, The president of Mexico. He also had an accident that set off all the alarms, when he tripped on a sandbag and fell in the middle of a diploma presentation during a graduation ceremony for new members of the US Air Force. For this reason, at 81 years old, the Department of Justice report calls into question his mental health status. Meanwhile, Joe himself tries to hide his recurring lapses and defends that his abilities “they are fine”. However, it is not easy for him to stay in the White House. The youngest are dissatisfied with their support for Israel in the armed conflict, and the opposition uses their latest behavior as a political weapon to snatch the mandate from them.
