President Joe Biden has been going viral recently for misspeaking and his most recent blunder has given X / Twitter a powerful meme. While addressing the recent attempt on Trump's life, Biden said "battle box" instead of "ballot box" and people are not willing to let it go. But what exactly are the memes all about and how has social media interpreted the idea of a "battle box?" Here's what you need to know.

What Is The 'Battle Box' Meme?

The day after the attempt on former president Donald Trump's life, President Joe Biden addressed the people of the United States about the incident. While his statement was generally well-received, there was one moment that went viral online. In that moment, Biden says what sounds like, "In America, we resolve our differences at the battle box."

He goes on to say again, "You know, that's how we do it, at the battle box." This had many people wondering what exactly a "battle box" is. As it turns out, Biden meant to say "ballot box" to convey the idea that Americans should vote to choose who they want to win or lose the presidency, rather than resort to violence. Unfortunately for Biden, the mis-pronunciation was just too funny and started going viral on social media.

How Is 'Battle Box' Used In Memes?

Ever since the clip went viral, social media has been making memes out of the idea of a "battle box." These memes imagine what exactly a "battle box" could be, with many interpreting it as a form of coliseum or arena. These memes play with the idea of Biden recommending people duke it out in a battle box to decide on who becomes the president.
