Did you catch Trump's recent high-profile name mishap?

It's been over a week since Donald Trump made a significant gaffe while speaking on the campaign trail, and it seems the entire country has already forgotten the former president's major on-stage blunder.

While speaking at a Turning Point Action convention in Detroit on June 15th, Trump said he thought Joe Biden should have to take a cognitive test just moments before bragging about the cognitive test he had taken. 

“He doesn’t even know what the word ‘inflation’ means,” the former president explained to his audience in Detroit, according to a report from The Washington Post. “I think he should take a cognitive test like I did.” 

Unfortunately for the former president, he immediately mixed up the name of the doctor who administered his cognitive test, referring to Texas Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson, who was the White House doctor for a part of Trump’s presidency, as "Ronny Johnson."

“Doc Ronny Johnson. Does everyone know Ronny Johnson, congressman from Texas? He was the White House doctor, and he said I was the healthiest president in history, so I liked him very much indeed immediately,” Trump said. 

Jackson was elected to represent Texas’ 13th District in 2021 and he has been a major supporter of the former president. However, Trump's big faux pas during his speech led many media outlets to comment on the irony of the situation. 

“The gaffe underlines age concerns about both candidates among voters,” reported The Hill’s Nick Robertson, who also noted that Biden or Trump will be the oldest person ever elected to the presidency and both have faced attacks regarding their memory. 

The Biden campaign was quick to comment on the former president’s mixup and posted a clip of Trump’s comments on social media correcting his mistake. This wasn’t the first time that Trump has mixed up someone's name publicly.

According to NBC News, In January 2024, Trump confused his then-GOP primary rival Nikki Haley with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi while he was speaking about the January 6th Capitol Attack. 

The former president also reportedly accidentally said Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was the leader of Turkey and has repeatedly mixed up Biden’s name with Barack Obama’s while on the campaign trail. 

Trump underwent a cognitive assessment in 2018 at his own request, it was a test that The Washington Post reported Ronny Jackson revealed to the media and one designed to “detect early signs of memory loss and other mild cognitive impairment.”
