Republican presidential candidate Trump campaigns in New Hampshire.
  • Trump appeared to imply that Barack Obama was still president at a campaign event in New Hampshire.
  • GOP nomination hopefuls, lagging far behind Trump, aim to make political capital over his repeated gaffes.
  • Biden's campaign wants to mirror questions about the president's mental fitness by spotlighting Trump's blunders.

Former US President Donald Trump mistakenly told supporters that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had recently called on Barack Obama to step down as president of the US. 

The gaffe occurred during Trump's speech at a campaign event in Claremont, New Hampshire, on Saturday, as he seeks the Republican nomination ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
