Joe Biden’s wife Jill can be seen mouthing something quietly under her breath, most likely saying Trump’s name.
President Trump mocked Biden’s mixup Monday morning. “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!” he tweeted.
