Biden’s Mishap: Neil Armstrong’s Iconic Moon Landing Quote Mishandled
Only Biden Could Manage to Botch Neil Armstrong’s Famous Moon Landing Quote
President Joe Biden managed to botch one of the most famous historical quotes of them all, and he did so in front of a foreign leader.
On Wednesday, Biden welcomed Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to the White House. During his remarks, he tried to quote Neil Armstrong’s words after he landed on the moon, but ended up delivering one of his infamous gaffes.
“It’s an honor to welcome you all to the White House as we celebrate the enduring alliance between Australia and the United States — an alliance that’s marked by imagination, ingenuity and innovation,” Biden said.
Then he got to the Armstrong quote that he just didn’t get quite right.
“Nearly 55 years ago, American astronauts took humanity’s first step on the moon. They sent a message forever etched in history. Quote, ‘That’s one small step for man and one giant step for mankind.’”
Close, but no cigar, Mr. Biden.
The actual quote, as everybody knows, reads just a bit differently: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
Of course, Biden muffs speeches all the time, so this is nothing new. But messing up the words of “a message forever etched in history”? That’s pretty impressive.
The president is also known for getting history wrong — his own personal history, that is.
British commentator Piers Morgan has gotten so sick and tired of Biden’s constant stream of lies that he now calls our president “Pinocchio Joe.”
Morgan’s exasperation boiled over last month when Biden claimed that he was at Ground Zero the day after 9/11. In truth, he wasn’t there until nine days afterward, as even CNN pointed out.
Other examples of Biden’s prevarications about his life and experiences include, but are certainly not limited to, his claims that:
- He was once a truck driver.
- His first job offer was from an Idaho lumber company.
- He marched in the civil rights movement.
- He was arrested in apartheid South Africa while trying to meet Nelson Mandela in prison.
- He was in Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967.
- His son Beau was killed in Iraq.
- His first wife was killed by a drunk driver.
- He visited a Pittsburgh synagogue after a shooting there in 2018.
Compared to telling those whoppers, messing up the Neil Armstrong quote isn’t the biggest deal in the world. But it’s certainly not a good look, and it’s just another example of how bad Joe Biden is on the dais.

In what ways do President Biden’s frequent mistakes and misquotes raise concerns about his mental acuity and ability to govern effectively
S about not taking campaign funds from corporations.
These falsehoods and misremembered details may seem inconsequential, but they are indicative of a larger pattern of dishonesty and a lack of credibility. If Biden can’t correctly remember the words of a renowned historical figure or accurately recall his own life experiences, how can we trust him to lead our nation? The role of the president is not only to represent the American people but also to uphold the dignity and honor of the office. Misquoting Neil Armstrong’s iconic words is a clear demonstration of Biden’s lack of preparedness and attention to detail. Furthermore, these frequent mistakes raise concerns about Biden’s mental acuity and ability to effectively govern. If he consistently struggles to communicate accurately, it raises questions about his cognitive abilities and whether he can make sound decisions under pressure. Leadership requires a certain level of competence, integrity, and credibility. By botching Neil Armstrong’s famous moon landing quote, Biden undermines his own credibility and diminishes the respect of the office he holds. It is not merely a matter of misspeaking or making a small error. This is a significant lapse in judgment and understanding of an iconic moment in history. As President, Biden should strive for accuracy and precision in his speeches. His words carry weight and have the power to shape public perception and policy decisions. It is unacceptable for the leader of our nation to consistently make factual errors and misquote historical figures. While some may dismiss these mistakes as inconsequential, they reflect a larger issue of a lack of attention to detail and an inability to accurately represent historical facts. It is imperative that our president be well-informed and capable of accurately conveying information. In conclusion, President Biden’s misquoting of Neil Armstrong’s famous moon landing quote is not just a simple mistake. It is symptomatic of a larger pattern of falsehoods and inaccuracies in his speeches. These errors erode the trust and credibility of the office of the presidency and raise concerns about Biden’s ability to effectively lead our nation. As citizens, we should demand better from our elected leaders and hold them accountable for their words and actions.
