“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”

Donald Trump has in the past ridiculed President Joe Biden for misspeaking, but on Saturday the former president became the one who was subject to mockery after making numerous verbal slip-ups at his Wisconsin rally.

Trump over the weekend spoke at a rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, where he at one point suggested that people in their 80s are too old to be able to be held accountable for documents they have signed. Trump is 78, and running for a four-year presidential term.

But it wasn't Trump's claim about age and its potential effects that caught the attention of most of his critics.

Instead, political observers flagged Trump's numerous "misfires" at the event.

In one instance, the ex-president was talking about Boeing when he said, "Leon's going to send up a rocket. He looks forward to it; that's all he thinks about is things like that." Trump was of course referring to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who has endorsed Trump.

After that slip, Trump was speaking about education when he failed to execute the word "eliminate," saying instead, "Ultimately, will li--- [garbled], and you know what we're doing here."

He added, "I say it all the time, I'm dying to get back to do this. We will ultimately eliminate the federal Department of Education."

Art Candee, a Chicago artist and Trump critic, responded with a laughing emoji and the words, "He couldn't say 'eliminate.'"
