You’ll notice that the same American state media who attacked President Biden relentlessly over his age refuse to report on the orange felon illegally stealing millions of taxpayer dollars to fund campaign ads. They continue to deliberately fail democracy.

Again, gas prices spiked in 2022-23 because Russia invaded Ukraine which caused a major disruption in global supply. Then they came down. Biden didn’t cause it. Gas prices rose in 2026 due solely to the stupidity of Trump who started a war in the Middle East.

Trump thinks that because he's changed the name of AI, now all concerns expressed about it previously are a hoax. The illogic is breathtaking. (Note that in this clip he's also lying about economic growth.)
