The comedy of errors that is Joe Biden’s botched presidency sputtered on during a rambling speech he gave on Tuesday while discussing inflation.
At one point, a confused Biden said the No. 1 “strength that we’ve built is inflation.”
The career politician spouted the gibberish during a speech discussing the nation’s flailing economy.
“The No. 1 threat is the strength — and that strength that we built is inflation,” the president declared.

His full quote, according to the official White House transcript: “I’ve built a strong ec- — we’ve built a strong economy with a strong job market. And I agree with what [Fed] Chairman [Jerome] Powell said last week that the number-one threat is the strength — and that strength that we built is inflation.”
While Biden likely meant to say “the No. 1 threat to the strength that we built is inflation,” he wasn’t wrong when he said he had built inflation.
As a reminder, in the first 12 months of his presidency, consumer prices rose 7.5 percent — the largest increase since 1982. Last month, inflation shot up 8.5 percent — also a 40-year high.
