据《纽约邮报》报道，25日，拜登在参加一次线上竞选活动时把特朗普的名字叫成了乔治（George）。

“我们的国家会变成什么样子啊？如果乔治……乔治再干4年的话，我们会发现自己……如果特朗普当选的话，我们将会身处一个不同的世界。” 

“What kind of country we’re gonna be? Four more years of George, ah, George, we’re gonna find ourselves in a position where… If Trump gets elected we’re going to be in a different world.” 



拜登连说了两遍乔治，才意识到说错了，改口称是特朗普。

多数网友推测，拜登之所以口误，应该是因为美国前总统小布什（George W. Bush）。2008年小布什仍在任时，拜登正作为美国前总统奥巴马的竞选搭档参与竞选。

推特上，还有网友注意到了拜登身旁的妻子吉尔。当拜登说到乔治时，吉尔至少连续三次小声提醒拜登，看口型似乎是“特朗普”。

Joe Biden appeared to confuse US President Trump with George Bush during an online fundraising event Sunday and got an assist from his wife Jill Biden who was sitting next to him.

Jill Biden appears to twice say something to her husband after the “George” flubs, with some news outlets and commenters on social media, speculating she may have been saying “Trump” to prod her husband.

George W. Bush was in office in 2008 when Biden was on the presidential ticket with then-Sen. Barack Obama. 

拜登的口误，也立即被特朗普当成把柄……

26日，特朗普在宾夕法尼亚州举行竞选集会时当场嘲笑拜登，“他昨天叫我乔治，都不记得我名字了，我觉得被侮辱了。我都不知道是该高兴还是难过了”。

"He called me George yesterday. He didn't remember my name. I'm insulted by it. I didn't know was I supposed to be happy or I supposed to be sad. "



不过，其实特朗普本人也经常叫错别人的名字。最让网友印象深刻的一次，是去年特朗普曾在白宫举行的一次会议上，当着苹果公司CEO蒂姆·库克（Tim Cook）的面，把他叫成了蒂姆·苹果（Tim Apple）……
