President Biden left many scratching their heads Thursday when he boldly proposed to build a railroad crossing the Indian Ocean.

"We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean,” Biden said during a speech in Washington, D.C.

Biden said there are also plans to build "one of the largest solar plants in the world" in Africa. He would go on describing his dreams, but he would "get in trouble," he said.

"I can go on, but I’m not. I’m going off-script. I’m going to get in trouble," he said.

Biden's bold plan

It turns out that - surprise! - Biden misspoke.

Biden was apparently referencing plans for a trans-continental railroad in Africa connecting the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. It appears Biden mixed up the world's two largest oceans, making it sound like he wanted to construct an ocean-spanning railway from California to Africa.

He made the same error last week while hosting British prime minister Rishi Sunak.

“We’re talking about building — and I had my team putting together with other countries as well — to build a railroad from the Pacific Ocean — from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean”.

Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) spokeswoman Abigail Marone responded to Biden's moment by tweeting, "Put grandpa to bed."

"We're in trouble"

It says something about Biden's priorities that he is concerned with building railroads in Africa in the first place, with America's own infrastructure in disrepair as the country begins to resemble a Third World nation in more ways than one.

Biden also opined in his remarks that "climate change" is the "only truly existential threat" to the future generations. Not the crushing national debt, runaway inflation, or automation, but climate change.

"If we don’t meet the requirements that we are lookin’ at, we are in real trouble," he said.

We're in trouble, alright!

But that's not all. Biden ended a speech about gun control on Friday by cryptically blurting out, "God save the Queen." Queen Elizabeth II died in September and was succeeded by her son Charles III, although it's possible Biden is unaware because he did not attend Charles' coronation.

Democrats are now proceeding with a coronation of their own as they look to quash all intraparty dissent and give an 80-year-old vegetable the nomination for 2024. God help us.
