Biden can't recall recent Ireland visit, seems to forget Hunter's love child during Q&A with kids

[NYPOST] No wonder President Biden needs a cheat sheet while taking questions from adults.

The 80-year-old commander-in-chief had difficulty remembering his recent state visit to Ireland Thursday while being grilled by kids during a Take Your Child to Work event at the White House.

"The last country I’ve traveled, I’m trying to think of the last one I was in," Biden mused to the children of administration staffers and members of the media.

"I’ve been to, met with 89 heads of state so far. So, uh, trying to think where was the last place I was; it’s hard to keep track."

"Ireland," a child shouted out, jogging the president’s memory.

"Yeah, you’re right, Ireland. That’s where it was," he said good-naturedly.

"How’d you know that?"

Biden, with the help of first son Hunter, also took questions from children of US Embassy workers while in Ireland — but hosted no formal news conferences, frustrating members of the White House press corps.

The Ireland exchange was one of a handful Thursday that highlighted the president’s frequent memory lapses, most notably forgetting the death of Congresswoman Jackie Walorski and calling out the Indiana Republican’s name at an event last September.

#1 No wonder they give him cheat sheets! Biden struggles through CHILDREN's press conference - as he tries to remember the last country he visited and the name of Top Gun (before a kid puts him out of his misery and tells him to go back inside)

#2 I'm not absolutely that he's actually forgot, or just doesn't want to talk about it.

#4 It's the short term memory that goes first. He can remember the 89 heads of state because that was far enough in the past and reinforced often enough. But Ireland? Not so much.

#5 I look for him to start getting memory tattoos like Memento.
