Biden's 'Ocean Train' Gaffe Sparks Social Media Frenzy

Created: JANUARY 20, 2025

President Biden's recent remarks about constructing a railroad across the Indian Ocean have ignited a whirlwind of amusement and disbelief on social media platforms. During the League of Conservation Voters' annual dinner in Washington, D.C., the President stated, "We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean." He quickly added, "I'm going off script. I'm going to get in trouble," seemingly acknowledging the unusual nature of his statement.

The comment quickly became a trending topic, with many users expressing their bewilderment. One Twitter user dubbed the concept an "ocean train," while others questioned the logistical feasibility of such a project. Former GOP Congressman Jason Chaffetz sarcastically tweeted, "Bold initiative, Mr. President." GOP consultant Matt Whitlock echoed the sentiment, tweeting, "That is going to be a heck of a railroad." Abigail Marone, press secretary for Missouri GOP Sen. Josh Hawley, simply posted, "Put Grandpa to bed."

This incident adds to a series of verbal missteps by the President that have drawn attention throughout the winter season. At the same event, Biden secured endorsements from the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund, NextGen PAC, NRDC Action Fund, and the Sierra Club for his re-election campaign. He expressed gratitude for their support and reiterated his commitment to addressing climate change, calling it an "existential threat." He also praised his administration's efforts as the "most ambitious climate and environmental justice campaign in American history."
