Joe Biden's blunder while singing "Happy Birthday" goes viral

A video of President Biden fumbling the lyrics to 'Happy Birthday' at a White House event has gone viral, sparking criticism of his mental fitness as he nears the end of his presidency.

Joe Biden may only be in office until January 20, but even in his final days, he can still deliver a surprise that is more likely to cause sadness than joy. The 82-year-old outgoing president invited a young man named Alicio to join him at a White House event over the weekend to wish him a happy birthday, but the not-so-complicated lyrics confused him and a minute later he forgot the man's name.

Joe Biden már csak január 20-ig ülhet az Egyesült Államok elnöki székében, de a búcsú napjaiban is képes inkább szomorúságra, mintsem vidámságra okot adó meglepetéssel szolgálni. A 82 éves leköszönő elnök a hét végén a Fehér Ház egyik rendezvényénmaga mellé hívott egy Alicio nevű fiatalembert, hogy boldog születésnapot kívánjon neki, de a nem túl bonyolult dalszöveg összezavarta, és egy perccel később elfelejtette a férfi nevét.

Biden „névbaja” nem javul, egy percen belül elfelejtette a maga mellé invitált születésnapos nevét
