Watch: Joe Biden Forgets Who He’s Talking To — Calls Australian PM ‘That Fella Down Under’
U.S. President Joe Biden appeared to forget who he was talking to Wednesday night when he looked away from his prepared notes for just a few seconds and addressed Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison as “that fella down under.”
The verbal fumble came during an exchange between the two leaders and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson detailing a defence deal struck by the long standing allies to help Australia acquire nuclear-powered submarines.
“Thank you Boris (Johnson) and I want to thank uh… that fella Down Under,” Biden said as he turned to the large screen Morrison was on.
“Thank you very much pal… appreciate it prime minister.”
The Australian leader simply smiled back politely and gave a thumbs up.
Social media users cringed at the exchange before describing Biden as “hopeless,” “embarrassing” and not up to the demands of the job.
The Twitter hashtag #THATFELLOWDOWNUNDER was quick to follow as various news outlets first digested the consequences:
As Breitbart News reported, the press conference was called to make public the new three-nation security pact – called AUKUS – involving Australia, the U.S. and the UK.
The new a new trilateral security partnership will see both the UK and U.S. combine to help Australia build a new fleet of nuclear submarines.
Morrison said the next 18 months would include “an intense examination of what we need to do to exercise our nuclear stewardship responsibilities here in Australia.”
AFP reports nuclear power has been highly controversial in Australia and Canberra formally banned the use of nuclear energy in 1998, though the country has rich deposits of uranium.

Morrison insisted Australia was “not seeking to establish nuclear weapons or establish a civil nuclear capability.”
“And we will continue to meet all of our nuclear non-proliferation obligations,” he added.
In a series of secret phone calls ahead of the public announcement, AFP reports Morrison reassured regional allies the decision was based on ensuring “security and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific.”
Neighbouring New Zealand however was quick to show its displeasure, with left-wing leader Jacinda Ardern saying the nuclear submarines would never be welcome in its national waters.

When asked, “Is Joe Biden really doing the job of president, or are others making decisions for him behind the scenes?” Only 39 percent said “Joe Biden is really doing the job of president,” while a majority of 51 percent said, “others are making decisions for him.”
So Joe Biden is increasingly seen as a president not up to the job and a president who is not really making the decisions he was elected to make.

White House Evasive when Asked Why Biden Keeps Coughing Through Speeches
White House press secretary Jen Psaki refused to say Thursday why President Joe Biden struggled with a heavy cough during recent speeches.
“It’s not a concern,” Psaki replied, when asked about the cough.
On Thursday, Biden struggled to get through a speech on the economy at the White House, coughing several times as he tried to speak. Biden also struggled to get through a ten minute campaign speech in support of Gov. Gavin Newsom during a trip to California.
Psaki responded to questions about Biden’s cough by reminding reporters that the president routinely traveled with a doctor.
When asked about why Biden was struggling with a cough, Psaki remained evasive.
“I think there are a range of reasons why we may need to clear our throat or we may have a little light cold and that’s certainly something that presidents, elected officials, reporters, spokespeople can confront,” she said. “But it’s not an area where we have a medical concern.”
