Yesterday, President Biden marked the end of his first year in the White House with a super optimistic tweet that defies reality:
One year ago, we started to write an American story of hope, not fear.
Of unity, not division.
Of light, not darkness.An American story of decency and dignity.
Of love and of healing.
Of greatness and of goodness.May this be the story that continues to guide us forward.

Not to be outdone, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen also provided her assessment of the U.S. economy after one year of Joe Biden in the White House:
We’re experiencing a strong recovery right now, one of the strongest periods of economic growth in decades, but none of this was a given. It’s taken strategic action over the past year to make it happen.

Just when you think they couldn’t dial the gaslighting up higher than eleven…
Just when we thought you couldn't be less in tune with the poor and middle class

What world are you living in? Literally everything is more expensive, food and fuel especially. Families are hurting and struggling.

As usual, Americans are expected to believe claims from this administration over their lying eyes.
