Biden raises eyebrows with claim he 'used to drive' 18-wheeler truck
Fox News ^ | July 29, 2021 | Houston Keene

Forty-eight-year political veteran President Biden raised eyebrows on Wednesday when he claimed to have driven an 18-wheeler truck — a claim the White House struggled to defend.

Biden was visiting a Mack Truck facility in Pennsylvania when he made the claim to have driven the massive trucks before, which require a special kind of license.

"I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man," Biden said on Wednesday in a video posted to Twitter. "I got to."

There is scant evidence that Biden has ever driven an 18-wheeler truck.

When asked if the president had ever driven such a truck, a White House spokesperson pointed to a December 1973 article from the Wilmington Evening Journal that showed Biden rode in an 18-wheeler on a 536-mile haul to Ohio.

Fox News pressed the spokesperson about the president’s claim – noting that riding in a truck is not the same as driving one – at which point the president's spokesperson pointed to a United Federation of Teachers post that touched on Biden driving a school bus in the past as a summer job.

The majority of school buses, on average, "have two axles, with the bigger models having two wheels on the front axle and four wheels on the dual axle, for a total of six wheels," according to SchoolBusFleet.com.

Fox News pressed again about the president’s claim, pointing out that a school bus is not the same as an 18-wheeler truck, but did not receive a response by publishing time.

OK well, can everyone just agree that he DROVE A VEHICLE at least once in the past, and why are people being so hard on him as to the details?

But he also knows the media won’t call him on it.

You're right, corrupt press toadies are owned by the democrat party... The Washington Post boys will gush admiration Biden's sooooo tough. "Oh oh, can we touch it?"...

The rest of us will feel we want to vomit.

That’s not even his dementia talking. He’s always been the lying boaster type.

“The majority of school buses, on average, “have two axles, with the bigger models having two wheels on the front axle and four wheels on the dual axle, for a total of six wheels,” according to SchoolBusFleet.com.”

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round…

The fact that the President of the United States is a liar is not unprecedented, that he is serving while suffering dementia is.

One could argue that Reagan was the first president with dementia.

But one would also have to note that Reagan's worst day of dementia in the White House was better than biden's best day.

And biden's capacity to barely function goes bye-bye day-by-day a little more...

But on all other topics?

...another sign of dementia, conflating and embellishing memories.

Maybe he meant he was “a teen feeler” when he drove a school bus.

I drove a Mack truck for several weeks in the early 1980s.

“Built like a Mack truck” was still a common expression in those days.

Wow!

You literally had to stand up in your seat to get the clutch all the way down.

The gear shift and steering wheel were so tight you started sweating within a couple minutes if you were in city traffic.

The engineering was indestructible.

Folks,I'm with Biden on this one. Biden knows he can say anything and do anything and the Press,Music Industry,other world leaders,Hollywood,Federal workers,Congress,and half the country will stick up for him. Why not? Biden has been saying anything he feels like saying for the last 50 years and it made him and his family rich,and put him in the White House. He has felt up little girls on camera and nothing has happened to him. Why should he stop now?

Certain world leaders are sticking up for Joe's senile antics purely for the entertainment value

He said he could see Biden driving a truck from the sky…

Was he successfully backing it into a narrow loading dock? Did it happen to be a dock where total bullsh*t is loaded?
