President Donald Trump appeared to mix up his words during a speech at the formal welcome ceremony for King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the White House on Tuesday.
While speaking to a crowd of dignitaries just before King Charles was scheduled to speak before Congress, Trump appeared to confuse the word "address" and instead said "adrist."
The internet noticed the slip up and was quick to comment:
"He's a mess today. And whoever wrote this speech should be fired. It's beyond simplistic and inaccurate," user Critic Susan, a frequent political commentator, wrote on X.
"So bad. Shows he doesn’t even read the remarks prior to the event. The speech was embarrassing," user Jan B., who self-describes as an Air Force veteran, nurse and government employee, wrote on X.
"King Charles will want to cut out his ear drums soon, and all of America will empathize," liberal political commentator Sherry wrote on X.
"He’s very slow today. His meds must not have kicked in yet," user Lizzie, retired psychologist and LGBTQ+ advocate, wrote on X.
