US President Joe Biden has once again done something he has been consistently doing throughout his presidency – at once entertaining and embarrassing Americans with his bizarre gaffes during a public speech.

President Joe Biden left many on the internet totally stumped after appearing to hint at US plans to build a very ambitious railroad.

"We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean," Biden said, while addressing the annual dinner of the League of Conservation Voters in Washington, D.C.

The 80-year-old POTUS did not stop at that, adding:

"We have plans to build in Angola, one of the largest solar plants in the world. I could go on, but I'm not. I'm going off script. I'm going to get in trouble."

This "going off script" is never a wise move for Biden, with his impressive track history of blunders and word salad.

On this occasion, some internet users were embarrassed by Biden’s comment.

Others, however, seized upon an opportunity to mock the octogenarian. Former GOP congressman Jason Chaffetz tweeted to say that the train initiative seemed like a "bold" move.
