President Biden was in Arizona this week. Was the trip in order to visit the border and see the mess that this administration has created? LOL — of course not. Biden went to Arizona to “highlight jobs”:
President Joe Biden on Tuesday visited the site for a new computer chip plant in Arizona, using it as a chance to emphasize how his policies are fostering job growth in what could be a challenge to the incoming Republican House majority.
Biden has staked his legacy in large part on major investments in technology and infrastructure that were approved by Congress along bipartisan lines. The Democratic president maintains that the factory jobs fostered by $52 billion in semiconductor investments and another $200 billion for scientific research will help to revive the U.S. middle class.
“What I’m most excited about is people are starting to feel a sense of optimism as they see the impact of the achievements in their own lives,” Biden said Tuesday.
Serious question: Do you know anybody who genuinely feels a sense of economic optimism? It’s not an easy thing to do for anybody who buys groceries for their family and has to fill up their car’s gas tank (no matter how much Biden brags about gas prices coming down, a gallon of gas is still far higher than when he took office).
During the Arizona trip, the POTUS account tweeted a photo of Biden with workers:
When Americans see the big picture in their hometowns — cranes going up, shovels in the ground, workers with hard hats — I want you to feel what I feel: pride. pic.twitter.com/MOamIAXuPo

Obivously that photo is totally authentic. But just in case it was not authentic, there are reasons people might think that.
Oh look – the cleanest construction workers in history – not a spec of dirt on that new safety gear. Almost like it's just another staged photo op. https://t.co/7mYU62qUXi

31 years as a PM for a large construction company and I have never seen well groomed tradesmen with a brand new hardhat and safety gear on a job. Another staged photo op https://t.co/Yjvui9sfm5

I’m not sure of course but what are the odds those people are actually union heads at some level?
No way that lady made it into this fake selfie. 😂 Also, no way Biden even knows how to take a selfie.

Is it just me, or does anyone also believe this may have never taken a selfie in his life?

The “feel” of that photo is a bit like when Kamala Harris and Kirsten Gillibrand had cooking photos while wearing aprons that still had fold lines as if they were just taken out of the package brand new.
The cleanest construction 🦺 workers I’ve ever seen. Their gear (PPE) personal protective equipment, is spotless, fresh out of a box. What else you got that’s a big lie Joe 10% ? #TenPercentJoe https://t.co/ohNpmvyhtD

Maybe the cleanest construction crew in the history of constructions crews…. https://t.co/EiTKfA5yxP

I think Biden’s encounter with workers when he was campaigning for president seemed much more authentic than the manufactured pic above:
“You’re full of s**t.” Now there’s the “uniter” we’re all used to!
