President Biden delivered some remarks today and then took a few questions, and the alternate reality was big with this presser.
Katie Pavlich summed up the cavalcade of desperate spin and attempted gaslighting that took place:
Biden claims he did not tell U.S. troops they would be in Ukraine (he did). Biden says he didn't say the U.S. would respond "in kind" to a chemical weapons attack (he did). Biden says he didn't call for regime change (he did).

Biden was asked about the comment he made at the end of his speech in Poland that Putin “cannot remain in power.” Biden simply pretended he never said those words:

Also, Biden said “nobody believes we’re gonna take down Putin,” so you must have misunderstood him when he said Putin “cannot remain in power”:

How’s this for a flat-out denial of reality?
Doocy: "The big things you say on the world stage keep getting walked back."
Biden: "What's getting walked backed?"
Biden: You told troops they are going to Ukraine, the U.S. would use a chemical weapon, and called for regime change in Russia.
Biden: "None of the 3 occurred." pic.twitter.com/cwZPzANIoC

Wow.
Biden clearly didn’t want to talk about what he meant by “significant response” if Putin were to use chemical weapons:
DOOCY: "And when you said a chemical weapon use by Russia would trigger a response in kind?"
BIDEN: "It will trigger a significant response."
DOOCY: "What does that mean?"
BIDEN: "I'm not going to tell you. Why would I tell you?"
DOOCY: "…The world wants to know?" pic.twitter.com/IdBjoLFMj6

When it comes to inflation, just go ahead and turn off your BS detector because if you don’t it’ll explode because of this next claim:

That weird “lean in and whisper” thing Biden likes to do was also featured:
BIDEN: "A firefighter and a teacher pay more than double the tax rate that a billionaire pays."
*leans in and whispers*
"That's not right." pic.twitter.com/JteHqfPyjP

it is truly painful to watch Biden try and explain all his gaffes

Joe Biden made some obvious errors on his trip to Europe & is clearly frustrated that he's getting pressed for answers on it

All is well!
