During his live speech on Sunday evening, President Joe Biden sought to calm the political climate in the country following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. However, his address was marred by verbal errors and gaffes.
“In America, we resolve our differences at the Battle Box,” Biden could be heard saying at one point. “Now, that’s how we do it, at the Battle Box. Not with bullets.”

“The power to change America should always rest in the hands of the people, not in the hands of a would-be assassin,” Biden added. “You know the path forward through competing visions of the campaign should always be resolved peacefully, not through acts of violence. We are blessed to live in the greatest country on earth, and I believe that with every soul, every power of my being.”
“Tonight, I’m asking every American to recommit to make America so….make America….well, think about it, what’s made America so special,” Biden continued, appearing to stumble on trying to find a way to say, “make America Great Again” without using those words.
