An Italian television show has brutally mocked President Joe Biden's mental state in a Saturday Night Live-style skit aired on Saturday.

The skit portrayed an actor mimicking Biden, mumbling through a speech, wandering aimlessly, and confusing world leaders' names.

The skit also included the president singing in Italian and eventually pressing a nuclear launch button, claiming to have forgotten to take pills.

Aired by a European branch of Warner Brothers Discovery, it follows a 2022 (and then later 2023) Saudi Arabian TV show that mocked both Biden and Vice President Harris.

Users on X reacted to the skit and bemoaned how the US under Biden has become "the laughing stock of the world".

"Italian TV just aired this skit mocking Joe Biden and his cognitive decline," X user EndWokeness wrote.

Biden's mental acuity has faced international ridicule after special counsel Robert Hur in a recent report described him as an "elderly man with a poor memory".
