Donald Trump has confused Joe Biden with Barack Obama for the third time in less than six months at a rally in Virginia.
The gaffe came as Trump addressed a crowd of thousands of supporters at the Greater Richmond Convention Center on Saturday night.
He was urging voters to go to the polls to vote for him, despite his double defeat in the blue-leaning state in 2016 and 2020.
When talking about his Democratic opponent, he tried to take aim at Biden for not having Putin’s respect, but missed the punchline by confusing his presidents.
“Putin has so little respect for Obama that he’s starting to spread the word nuclear,” Trump said.

You heard that, nuclear. “Today he starts talking about nuclear weapons,” he continued.
Trump then described Biden as a “fool”: “We have a fool, a fool for a president,” the former president said.
Trump made the same mistake just a month ago during an appearance on Fox News.
While the former president rambled on about “being president” and “immunity” to host Sean Hannity, he made a reference to Obama that didn’t quite fit because he was actually talking about Biden.
“If the president of the United States, and I’m not talking about me, I’m talking about any president, he has to have immunity, because if you take away the president’s immunity, something so important, you will have a president who will not be able to do anything.” Trump ranted.
Then he added: ‘BBecause when he leaves office, the opposing party, the president, if it’s the opposing party, will accuse the president of doing something that should have been good.
“As Obama launched missiles and “They ended up hitting a daycare, a school or an apartment building, and a lot of people died,” the 77-year-old said.
“Well, if that’s the case, he’ll end up being indicted when he leaves office.” “He had good intentions, the missile was going in the wrong direction and other things,” he said, referring to Obama as if he were the current president.
Trump made the same silly mistake again in November, when he told a rally in New Hampshire that Barack Obama is president, despite constantly nicknamed his rival ‘Sleepy Joe.’
Trump gave a speech in Claremont, New Hampshire, where he said that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called on ‘President Obama’ to resign and be ‘replaced by Trump.’
Trump told the crowd: ‘The head of Hungary, Viktor Orban, very powerful inside and outside his country, they interviewed him two weeks ago and said what would you advise President Obama?
‘The whole world seems to be exploding and imploding. He said: “It’s very simple, I should resign immediately and replace him with President Trump, who kept the world safe.”
Donald Trump defeated rival Nikki Haley to win the Republican caucuses in Idaho, Michigan and Missouri on Saturday.
Today’s mistake comes amid the success of Trump, who has now surpassed his rival Nikki Haley to win the Republican primaries and caucuses in Idaho, Michigan and Missouri.
The networks called Idaho to look for the former president shortly after 7 p.m. Now, with 90 percent of the votes counted, he leads Nikki Haley by 85 points to her 13.
The victory adds another 32 delegates for Trump ahead of the Republican’s national convention in July.
In Michigan, Trump defeated Haley in all 13 precincts that participated in the nominating caucuses, earning 98 percent of overall support according to the Republican Party. It was the second part of the state’s nomination process.
The two contests add to an earlier victory in Missouri, where the race was canceled at 11:40 a.m., less than two hours after meetings began.
The victories brought Trump’s delegate total through Saturday to 247, more than double his tally heading into the weekend.
