   President Biden stunned listeners Wednesday by bragging about his   
   ability to launch nuclear weapons — before calling Donald Trump a   
   “congressman” and seeming to forget the names of the current Chinese and   
   South Korean leaders.   
      
   “Now look, my Marine carries that, but it has the code to blow up the   
   world,” the 81-year-old commander-in-chief said while introducing   
   himself to factory workers in Colorado.   
      
   “This is not nuclear weapons, is it?” Biden added while touring South   
   Korean company CS Wind’s facility in Pueblo, touted by the White House   
   as the largest wind tower manufacturer in the world.   
      
   Moments later, Biden blundered through a 23-minute speech as polls show   
   large majorities of voters are concerned about his mental acuity as he   
   seeks re-election.   
      
   “I am friends with your leader, Mr. Moon, you know,” Biden told   
   corporate leaders — appearing to refer to former South Korean President   
   Moon Jae-in, who left office in 2022.   
      
   The current South Korean president, Yoon Suk Yeol, has interacted with   
   Biden at many events and even was honored by Biden in April at his   
   second state dinner since taking office.   
      
   The errors continued as the president invoked Trump in what had been   
   advertised by the White House as a planned attack on Rep. Lauren Boebert   
   (R-Colo.) for opposing Biden-backed economic bills.   
      
   “We can use [a billionaire minimum tax] to strengthen the Social   
   Security and Medicare system instead of cutting them like Congressman   
   Trump and Boebert want to do,” Biden said.   
      
   Trump, 77, opposed the efforts of some fellow Republicans to alter   
   Social Security during his presidency and is the GOP front-runner to   
   face off against Biden again in next year’s election.

   BIDEN: "Look, my Marine has a code to blow up the world"   
      
   In a yet another possible stumble, Biden reminisced about what he said   
   was a conversation with the late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, who died   
   in 1997 and is best-known for liberalizing China’s economy to introduce   
   elements of capitalism in the late 1970s and ’80s.   
      
   “I said this to Deng Xiaoping in the Himalayas and I’ve said this to   
   every world leader: It’s never, never, never been a good bet to bet   
   against the American people,” the president said.   
      
   The story resembled a frequently told Biden anecdote involving what he   
   claimed was a conversation with current Chinese President Xi Jinping   
   during their respective vice presidencies.   
      
   At another point in his speech, Biden claimed to have “cut the federal   
   deficit by over $7 billion” — likely a slipped-up telling of his more   
   frequent claim to have cut the deficit by $1.7 trillion, which at one   
   point was true but only when factoring in a blip in COVID-19 and   
   stimulus spending.   
      
   The national debt is currently more than $33.8 trillion — up more than   
   $6 trillion since Biden took office — and fiscal year 2023, which ended   
   Sept. 30, saw the highest non-pandemic deficit in US history at $1.7   
   trillion.   
      
   Biden’s nuclear football joke went viral Wednesday on social media   
   alongside his series of gaffes at the same stop.   
      
   Presidents are famously accompanied while traveling by a military aide   
   carrying a briefcase with items that can be used to authorize a nuclear   
   attack — including a card that contains authentication codes.   
      
   Although Biden’s defenders argue he’s simply gaffe-prone, fellow   
   Democrats have expressed alarm at his recent public errors.   
      
   David Axelrod, the former chief campaign strategist to President Barack   
   Obama, said this month that “in front of the camera, what he’s   
   projecting is causing people concerns, and that is worrisome.”   
      
   A New York Times poll released Nov. 7 found 71% of swing-state voters   
   say Biden is “too old to be an effective president,” while just 39% said   
   the same of Trump.   
      
   A Wall Street Journal poll released in September found that 73% of
