And that Joe Biden's America had the biggest inflation in the history of America, not true.
That it's now disappeared, not true.
That he has all these great...
economy.
Not true.
It actually reads as delusional when two-thirds of the country is upset at you for all the reasons that you claim don't exist.
And so if you were doing a kind of more objective analysis and you wanted to focus on the substance as opposed to the metal giving and the gilding, I think you would have to focus on
the untrue statements that were the underpinning of it, the lack of concrete policy proposals.
Again, just being quite neutral, whether you like the proposals or not, there weren't any.
In the olden days when we had news and we had substance, we had people who were accountable for that.
I can tell you the lead of the New York Times or the Washington Post, as someone who edited many of those stories, it would be the President of the United States went before Congress yesterday, just a few days after the Supreme Court
rejected the pillar of his economic policy and said that he would disregard the court's demand that he follow regular order and ask Congress to approve it.
He said he would continue with his policies anyways through means which may or may not be legal.
And he assured Congress, in fact, that they would not have to take a vote on the pillar of his economic policy.
At the same time, he failed to address concerns of nearly two thirds of Americans
that the cost of living is far too high, that the foundation of the American economy is weak.
And he offered no new substantive proposals to address that, despite his White House promising hours before that the entire speech would be focused on his, quote, case to the American people for how he is best positioned to handle the affordability crisis.
And that is a direct quote.
You can usually only screw that up.
Right.
