So-called “President” Biden gave his State of the Union speech a couple weeks ago. The SOTU has basically devolved into an elaborate campaign ad, regardless of which Party is giving it. Presidents routinely get a bump in popularity after giving their annual rah-rah speech. Not so for President Poopy Pants. Sleazy Joe’s approval numbers remain stuck in the mid to upper 30s… basically the territory where only rabid Democrat partisans still support him.
Biden insanely used his SOTU to brag about how great things have gone so far. And promised more of the same in the future… more spending, more bureaucracy, more regulation, and less energy (cuz wind and solar are bullshit pipe dreams.) Which means less freedom, less prosperity, and a reduced standard of living for regular Americans. And yet, Ole Crusty Shorts tried to gaslight the American people into thinking things are going just swimmingly. Biden boasted that he had the “highest rate of job growth on record.” The truth is America is still down millions of jobs from the pre-covid levels of 2019. The government destroyed 10’s of millions of jobs during the covid panic. When you are starting from such a deep chasm, even a partial rebound will look like “amazing growth” on paper. Biden also bragged about wages going up. Yet inflation has eaten up all of those meager wage gains and much, much more. People actually feel poorer under the Democrats. Because they are.
The lack of any bump in his poll numbers suggest Biden’s pathetic attempt to gaslight the people failed miserably. Just add it to the ever-growing list of Biden Miserable Failures™. Another data point comes from this University of Michigan poll of consumer confidence. According to the chart, the Biden “Presidency” is on a par with 9/11 and the bursting of the Housing Bubble in it’s effect on how consumers view the economy. A 3rd quarter recession is looking like a real possibility. Let’s go, Brandon!!!
Biden’s failure to gaslight the American people is totally unsurprising. They are feeling the effects of his incompetence in a very direct way on a daily basis. He can’t hide from the empty shelves, skyrocketing prices, unstaffed businesses, and $4.50/gallon gas. Dems will try to blame Putin, corporations, Trump, COVID, and anything else they can think of for the abject failures of this administration. It won’t work. Come November, they will own this mess.
