President Joe Biden on Thursday appeared to forget meeting with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell as recently as two years ago.
“I’ve never once spoken to the chairman of the Fed since I became president,” Biden said, falsely, in a speech at the Economic Club of Washington.
Biden met with Powell as recently as May 2022 in the Oval Office. This was Powell’s third in-person meeting with President Biden, according to Bloomberg. Biden nominated Powell to a second term as chair of the Fed in November 2021.
Biden’s false statement was meant to contrast his approach to the Fed with that of Donald Trump, who publicly criticized Fed chairman Jerome Powell for raising interest rates in 2018. Although Trump was lambasted by leftwing political pundits, who claimed the criticism threatened to undermine the independence of the Fed, the Fed appeared to concede Trump’s point the following year when it began cutting interest rates.

He means he doesn’t remember ever meeting Powell.
He may have been physically present.
But, he wasn’t there.
Biden strikes me as a guy who says what he wants to at the moment regardless of whether it is true or false.
Remember that the next time the White House tries to take something that President Trump says out of context because Trump didn't finish a sentence or structure it in perfect grammar.

Back to the basement or the beach, Joe. I’m guessing his puppet masters shouldn’t have let him out even for that brief moment. His elderly abuse wife must have been elsewhere.
Finishing strong...
Stated “without evidence”! He has enough brain cells left to know the fairy tale that the Fed is independent of the administration must be maintained, but not enough to fashion a credible lie about communications
At this point, who cares what Joey says?
For that matter, at this point, WHY should anyone care what Joey says?
“At this point, who cares what Joey says?”
Probably someone could create an AI version of Hillary actually saying that.
“he wasn’t there.”
For a long time, Joe Biden has been absent when present!
In many cases he has not “been there” when he “took someone to the back of the gym.” Sure, Joe.
Biden’s lies indicate that he has very low self esteem and must make up what he imagines to be cool, rough, brave and smart.
Biden is none of the above. He is a lying loser.
He will die eventually and then Mount Rushmore will be adorned with the ass of a horse chiseled in stone.
END OF STORY!
We can call Biden a loser, but who lives in the White House, has SS protection, goes to the beach every week, owns a classic Corvette stored next to boxes of classified documents (for which he will never be prosecuted), gets 10% of his familiy’s graft and foreign influence peddling (on which no one pays any taxes)?
He’s trained his brain to remember lies it’s all he’s ever had to work with.
