While making an appearance Sunday during the “I Will Vote” concert, Joe Biden appeared to have confused President Donald J. Trump with George Bush.
The Commander in Chief reacted on Twitter Monday morning to Biden confusing him with George Bush, blasting the media for protecting the former vice president, saying in part, “The Fake News Cartel is working overtime to cover it up!”
“Four more years of George, uh, George uh– we’re gonna find ourselves in a position where uh, if Trump gets elected, uh, we’re gonna be, uh, we’re gonna be in a different world,” Biden said while sitting next to his wife, Jill.

It’s unclear, however, if Biden was about to refer to the 43rd President George W. Bush or the 41st President George H.W. Bush during the mix up.
President Trump responded in a tweet Monday morning, writing, “Joe Biden called me George yesterday. Couldn’t remember my name.”
“Got some help from the anchor to get him through the interview. The Fake News Cartel is working overtime to cover it up!” Trump proclaimed. Continued Below

In another tweet, President Trump also ripped the media for not reporting on the “tremendous progress” his administration is making in the fight against the coronavirus.
We have made tremendous progress with the China Virus, but the Fake News refuses to talk about it this close to the Election. COVID, COVID, COVID is being used by them, in total coordination, in order to change our great early election numbers.Should be an election law violation!

The president added of the “fake news media”:
Cases up because we TEST, TEST, TEST. A Fake News Media Conspiracy. Many young people who heal very fast. 99.9%. Corrupt Media conspiracy at all time high. On November 4th., topic will totally change. VOTE!
