Joe Biden was caught in yet another embarrassing gaffe after he butchered a quote, telling a crowd in Kentucky, “The world is not a patch in our jeans.”
Yes, really.
The 80-year-old president made the awkward remark while promoting the implementation of his $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill.
“I’ll paraphrase the phrase of my old neighborhood: The rest of the countries, the world is not a patch in our jeans, if we do what we wanna do, we need to do,” Biden said.

Respondents on Twitter tried to make sense of the comment, with Sen. Josh Hawley’s press secretary Abigail Marone remarking that it, “makes perfect sense if your brain is mush.”
Others worried that Biden was in charge of the nukes, while another asked, “How can any human watch it and not feel empathy for this man’s public disintegration?”
The president previously defended himself against skepticism over his cognitive functioning during an appearance on MSNBC.
