It might come as some comfort that the Biden White House is working hand-in-hand with the economic advisers on Sesame Street to assign blame to the "shrinkflation" caused by corporate greed that's giving the false impression that "Bidenomics" sucks. Biden has even cited the Cookie Monster's comments, though in fairness that blue Muppet probably is a better economist than the ones advising Biden:

The level of desperation from the White House is off the charts, and there are many reasons:

Somebody at the White House decided that the Cookie Monster alone wouldn't be enough to help Biden out of this jam, so bring on the fictional presidents!
You may’ve heard I’ve got a big speech coming up.

So, I thought I would hear from some folks who have done the job before – sort of. pic.twitter.com/7wFYVQm7Xm

The White House Comms team is utterly inept.

Cookie Monster. Now this? https://t.co/dShJKNbW7N
Embarrassing, sure, but perhaps somewhat accurate:
Much like all of those people, Joe is also pretending to be president while reading a script written by people behind the scenes https://t.co/p9ego0Atu2

None of those pretend presidents ever fell down or made the country less secure, but there are definitely other similarities.

Imagine barely being able to pay for your groceries, having your town overrun with illegals, having your child killed by drugs that came through our border or being Laken Riley’s family after she was killed by an illegal and seeing President Biden doing this crap. Sick and evil. https://t.co/mVdCKZLYrp

This kind of crap from the White House has Obama written all over it.
But that shtick is of course designed to keep Biden's base engaged, and to that end it's working so far:
This is so great to see. Well done! https://t.co/WBKn940aOb

I just added that one because occasionally I see people wonder how Biden has any approval left whatsoever, but of course some would rather see the country go completely down the drain than ever admit they were wrong or vote for a Republican.
