A couple of weeks ago, President Biden told a crowd in Vegas that he spoke to French president Francois Mitterrand. Except Mitterrand has been dead for almost 30 years. He followed up that by mentioning German chancellor Helmut Kohl, who has also been dead for several years.
(But he's fine. Sharp as a tack. You're not a neurologist, so don't judge his mental acuity!)
So when Biden mentioned several heads of state want him to win, it begs the question: are they living or dead?

More from The Hill:
President Biden on Wednesday said that several foreign leaders have told him he has to beat former President Trump, the likely GOP nominee, in November.
“As I walk out of meetings, a head of state will find an excuse to come up close…and say ‘you’ve got to win,’” Biden recalled at a fundraiser in San Francisco.
“Not because I’m so special,” he added. “’You’ve got to win because my democracy is at stake if the other guy wins,’” the president said, quoting heads of state. “Nine heads of state have done that with me.”
The president bashed the GOP throughout his remarks at the fundraiser on Wednesday evening.
Ah, democracy is on the line, says the guy who tries to bar his opponents from ballots and ignores the Supreme Court like a dictator.
Got it.
Name them.

Funny how they didn't. Wonder why.
Thankfully, Twitter/X was full of suggestions.
They were:

Angela Merkel
Jacques Chirac
Haile Selassie
Commander Biden
King George the III
Ayatollah Khamenei
Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Egypt
Tsar Nicholas I
Barbar the Elephan
We laughed out loud.
Mitterrand
— Blue State Snooze (@BlueSnoozeBlue) February 22, 2024
Kohl
DeGaulle
Meir
Amin
Noriega
Sadat
Churchill
Castro
An even better list.
Also Biden: 138 astronauts said I was the best paper plane folder in space when I went to mars and back in 1987 in a spaceship the size of Kentucky.

Sounds exactly like something Biden would say.
Well we know Putin did.

Are those nine heads of state in the room with us now, Joe? https://t.co/EjuZJXPygX

Please, please, please someone in the media ask him.
He’s been a despicable, serial prevaricator his entire adult life. It’s who he is.

Every word he says is a lie, including “and” and “the”…. https://t.co/5B3m3z3sRg pic.twitter.com/VMQp3QRkl2
It's either another one of his 'embellishments' (lies) or dementia. Pick one, lefties.

Can you see them, Mr. President?
Those heads of state may be equally lacking in mental acuity as Joe. https://t.co/RRwP2UELNJ

If they think Biden can save democracy, yes they are.
Why would foreign powers want pudding head in charge for another 4 years? Real head scratcher. https://t.co/ULQSfjZSDR

Total mystery.
