The 46th President’s blunders have damaged his poll rating ahead of the upcoming election on November 5

Joe Biden’s latest gaffe has been jumped upon by conservative critics after the 46th President appeared to concede he “can’t be trusted”.

Biden, 81, spoke at a campaign rally in Tampa on Tuesday as he focused on Florida’s six-week abortion ban.


The Sunshine State is introducing more restrictive measures on women’s reproductive rights from May 1.

During his rally, Biden made several references to his Republican rival Donald Trump.

However, the 46th President also appeared to make an embarrassing mistake.

He said: “I don’t know why we’re surprised by Trump.

“How many times does he have to prove we can't be trusted?”

Audience members were left cackling after Biden’s blunder as the Commander-in-Chief was seemingly unaware of his mistake.

Conservative critics on social media were far from forgiving.

Tomi Lahren said: “Well, even a blind squirrel finds a nut.”

Republican strategist Chris LaCivita added: “You’ll see this again and again and again.”

Grand Old Party Rapid Response Director Jake Schneider replied: "Agreed, Joe — you can’t be trusted!"

The latest blunder comes as 86 per cent of American voters believe Biden is too old to sit in the Oval Office amid concerns over his cognitive state.

Biden, who will turn 86 by the end of a potential second term, has made a series of errors but the White House has tried to play them down.

The 81-year-old was forced to step in after special counsel Robert Hur's report that highlighted the president's "significantly limited" memory over a probe into the 46th President’s classified documents.

"My memory is fine," he insisted in a White House briefing. Biden gave an emotional response to a claim he could not recollect when his son died, saying: "How the hell dare he raise that?"

He added: "Frankly when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, was none of their damn business.

"I don't need anyone to remind me when he [Beau Biden] passed away."

The inquiry also concluded Biden "wilfully retained and disclosed" classified files but decided not to charge him.

“We have considered that, at trial, Mr Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” the report concluded.
