About
Oh God, Biden Just Confused X and Y! is a phrasal template that was popularized on Twitter / X in mid-July 2024 after a press conference held by President Joe Biden in which he called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "President Vladimir Putin" and called Kamala Harris "Vice President Trump." The snowclone jokes and memes about Biden confusing similarly named products or media came amid calls for him to drop out of the 2024 election.
Origin
On July 11th, 2024, President Joe Biden appeared at two different press conferences during the NATO summit, each of which saw him stumble over his words, confusing Zelenskyy and Putin and misnaming Kamala Harris Vice President Trump (clip shown below).

As discourse swirled online about the error-filled performance, Twitter users began to joke about the errors by jesting that Biden made more common errors. That day, Twitter user @paynushurts[1] tweeted, "Nahhh Joe Biden just called the teacher mom," gaining over 2,900 retweets and 46,000 likes in one day (shown below).
