President Joe Biden and reality are not friends. In fact, when listening to some of his interviews it appears they never met.

On Wednesday CNN anchor Erin Burnett interviewed the president in what was mainly a softball question extravaganza.

But she did ask him one legitimate question about the fact that Americans are concerned about the economy as inflation has hit massive numbers, but the president wants people to not believe their lying eyes.

“So when you talk about the economy, of course it is by far the most important issue for voters. It’s also true right now, Mr. President, that voters by a wide margin, trust Trump more on the economy. They say that in polls and part of the reason for that may be the numbers and you’re aware of many of these, of course, the cost of buying a home in the United States is double what it was when you look at your monthly costs from before the pandemic, real income, when you account for inflation is actually down since you took office, economic growth last week, far short of expectations, consumer confidence, maybe no surprise, is near a two-year low. With less than six months to go to election day are you worried that you’re running out of time to turn that around?” the anchor said.

“We’ve already turned it around. Look, you look at the Michigan survey (MCSI). For 65% of the American people think they’re in good shape economically, they think the nation is not in good shape. They are personally in good shape,” the president said.

“The polling data has been wrong all along. How — you guys do a poll at CNN. How many folks do you have to call to get one response? The idea that we’re in a situation where things are so bad — that folks — we’ve created more jobs, we’ve made a situation where people have access to good paying jobs and the last I saw the combination of the inflation, the cost of inflation, all the things that’s really worrisome to people with good reason. That’s why I’m working very hard to bring the cost of rentals down, to increase the number of homes that are available,” he said.

“Let me say it this way. When I started this administration, people were saying there is going to be a collapse in the economy. We have the strongest economy in the world. Let me say it again. In the world,” he said before the anchor corrected him.

“GDP last week was far short of expectations,” she said before the president denied reality again.

“Oh, it wasn’t. Look, GDP is still — look at the response of the markets, overwhelmingly positive. They’re overwhelmingly positive. And one of the reasons why people feel good about it, not being as strong as it was before, is they believe that the Fed is going to respond,” he said.

“They hope they’re gonna get a rate cut,” the anchor said sarcastically.

“Yeah. Well, so, but I mean no presidents had the run we’ve had in terms of creating jobs and bringing down inflation. It was 9% when I came into office. Look, people have a right to be concerned, ordinary people,”  the president said before shirking responsibility and blaming corporations.

“The idea that you bounce a check and you get $30 fee for bouncing the check. I’m going to change that, you can’t charge more than $8 for that. Or your credit card. Your late payment is $35. I mean, there’s corporate greed going on up there. And it’s got to be dealt with,” he said.
