CLAIM: President Joe Biden claimed during an interview with Yahoo Finance that inflation was nine percent when he took office in January 2021.

See? I said his statement about black people losing their health insurance due to Donald Trump’s Presidency can be believed if he gets away with lies time after time.

A luxury of having a 99% always on your side lapdog media.

He’s said this during interviews with the interviewer not pushing back or correcting, so it was the “truth” to those watching.

Narrative: Biden is just dealing with the mess Trump left him - it is getting better, but the mess was so huge that there much more work to do to fix it. And...Biden isn’t Hitler.

His aids are horrified each time he speaks in public. Without doubt they prep him on what to say and not what to say and not repeat prior lies. He does it anyway, because that is his reality and it is true in his mind. He does not even realize he is lying. It is his reality.

Who really has his finger on the nuclear button? Pray that it is not Joe.

Biden is correct...

Inflation was 9% immediately after he took office. It wasn’t 9% at any time during Trump’s time, but became 9% under Biden. So, it was 9% ‘when’ Biden took office and not before. Biden’s inflation-causing policies took effect almost immediately, and the inflation rate was also an immediate effect from those policies.

Besides, Biden has a poor memory and is totally unaware of what ‘when’ means.

John 8:44
New International Version
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

We really cannot blame Joe. He actually has been told that and believes it. He is a sick man. But we can blame the people who believe him.

You can’t change the memories of the demented. Only they can, and will, do that as their dementia continues.

If only he followed the statement up with two fingers spread just a skosh, in Maxwell Smart’s voice, “Missed it by that much.”

Biden’s problem is that US voters were alive when he took office and remember exactly what the economy was like compared with what it is now. He can say whatever he wants, but even with covid lockdowns, the economy under Trump was far better than any time under Biden.

Maybe he figures he can import enough illegal voters who weren’t here to know what it was like when he entered office and fool them into thinking things were worse back then.
