“Today I’m pleased to announce we’re working with Congress to invest $40 billion in our Pacific Islands Infrastructure Initiative,” he said. “We call it the P, PI — anyways, doesn’t matter what we call it but that’s what it is.”

This is hardly the first time Biden has messed up during a speech. As OK! previously reported, the politician recalled a story about the 2017 riots in Charlottesville, Va.

"You remember those folks walking out of the fields literally carrying torches, with Nazi swastikas, holding them forward, singing the same vicious, antisemitic bile — the same exact bile — bile that was sung in — in Germany in the early '30s," Biden said to the crowd. "And a young woman was killed. A young woman was killed."

And a young woman was killed in the process," he reiterated to the audience.

"And my predecessor, as I said, was asked what he thought. He said, 'There are some very fine people on both sides.' Well, that kept ringing in my head," he noted. "And so, I couldn't, quite frankly, remain silent any longer. So, I decided I would run. And it became — I ran because I thought everything this country stood for was up for grabs for the first time in my career."

Joe Biden insists he's all there mentally.

Even though some are concerned if Biden is all there mentally, he made it clear he's up for the job.

“I tell you what, someone said, ‘You know what? That Biden, he’s getting old, man. I tell you what,'” he said to members of the Sheet Metal Workers union on Monday, September 4. “Well, guess what? Guess what? You know, the only thing that comes with age is a little bit of wisdom. I’ve been doing this longer than anybody, and guess what? I’m going to continue to do it, with your help.”
