Biden had his “deplorable unwashed Americans’ moment. With his agenda stalled, inflation out of control, and most Americans refusing to believe the White House narrative that it’s all Putin’s fault, President Joe Biden is now lashing out at the so-called ‘MAGA agenda.’
In Wednesday remarks prior to the Fed decision on rates, Biden suggested that GOP proposals are largely in-line with Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again ethos which champions lower taxes, America first trade policies, and border security.
During his speech, Biden sought to distance his own economic agenda from Trump’s, saying: “It’s a MAGA agenda. Meanwhile, millionaires and billionaires and corporations skate by,” pointing to a proposal by Florida GOP Senator Rick Scott, who chairs the Senate GOP campaign organization.
“Imagine that. Just imagine that. I think it is truly outrageous,” Biden continued, adding: “It’s extreme, as most MAGA things are.“
“This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in recent American history,” he added.
With inflation on everyone’s mind ahead of the fed meeting, Biden has been clinging to a promise to reduce the deficit – which Manchin and other moderate Democrats support, while blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine for everything from soaring grocery bills to pain at the pumps.
According to Biden, he can cut the deficit by over $1.5 trillion this year. At the same time, he’s asking Congress for $33 billion in additional Ukraine aid on top of the $22.5 billion he previously requested.
That’s a lot of fired Ukrainian prosecutors worth of aid!
Joe Biden Wednesday morning delivered remarks on his horrible economy.
The IHS Monthy GDP Index shows the US GDP has decreased from last October 2021’s high.
The US economy is decreasing, not growing.
A record 4.5 million Americans ‘quit’ their jobs in March, according to a report released by the Labor Department.
Job openings also surpassed unemployed workers by a record 5.6 million.
The GDP contracted 1.4% in the first quarter of 2022 amid record inflation rates.
But Joe Biden claims the economy is booming and Americans are thriving.
Biden started rambling about ‘abortion rights’ as he took questions from reporters and lashed out at Trump supporters.
“What are the next things that are going to be attacked?” Biden said claiming overturning Roe v Wade could lead to LGBT children no being allowed in school classrooms.
“This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in recent American history,” he added.

The president then clarified that he meant the most extreme political group in “recent” American history.
Biden repeatedly mispronounced “MAGA” as “mega” but corrected himself.
“The mega Republicans, the MAGA Republicans, excuse me, I don’t want to mispronounce it, the MAGA Republicans,” he said.
Biden answered a question from reporters about the possibility of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
“This is about a lot more than abortion,” he said.
The president warned that Republicans might pass a law preventing “LGTBQ children” from attending public school with other children.
“Let me tell you about this ultra-MAGA agenda, it’s extreme,” Biden said.
He also suggested that the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade could mean that government could regulate couples from using birth control.
Biden spoke about Republicans during a speech in the White House trumpeting his attempt to reduce the deficit, despite spending more than $3 trillion in his first year as president.
The president repeatedly referred to former President Donald Trump without using his name, choosing instead to focus on “MAGA Republicans.”
