“We have a man who is totally corrupt and the worst president in the history of our country, who is cognitively impaired, in no condition to lead, and who is now in charge of dealing with Russia and possible nuclear war,” Trump said. “Just think of it. We would be in World War II very quickly if we’re going to be relying on this man.”

Obviously, Trump meant to say “World War III.” Insisting that we’re on the brink of another great war, and maybe even nuclear annihilation, has been part of his stump speech for months. But that isn’t the only line he flubbed. At another point in the speech, Trump seemed to mix up Biden and Barack Obama, suggesting he’s currently leading his predecessor in the 2024 polls.

Lol.

To be fair, he probably is polling higher than Obama.

I actually doubt it, but I can't find any semi-recent Obama polls to say otherwise. Michelle Obama is polling great right now however.

Ironically that trump quote is a perfect description of Trump's government

Everything he says is projection, so it's not very surprising.
