US President Donald Trump speaks to reporters after walking off Air Force One on June 10, 2025 at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland.US President Donald Trump appeared to get a little confused on Tuesday as he attempted to lob an insult at his predecessor during a speech at Fort Bragg. “I’ve known this guy for a long time,” Trump said of former President Joe Biden. “He was never the sharpest bulb.” Trump also got in a second dig at Biden, saying that he was of sound mind only “a very long time ago.” But it was his confusion between “sharpest tool” and “brightest bulb” that lit up social media as the president’s critics fired back:He wasn't the brightest knife in the drawer either.
