President Joe Biden faced widespread mockery and criticism on social media Sunday after his campaign released a video in which he blamed companies for reducing the size and portion of their products while maintaining the same price.

The “shrinkflation” video appears to have been shot in the White House movie theater, and in some scenes, the president is surrounded by packages of snacks.

“If you’re like me, you like to be around a snack or two while watching the big game,” Biden said to open the video.

“As an ice cream lover, what makes me the most angry is that ice cream cartons have actually shrunk in size but not in price,” Biden remarked. “I’ve had enough of what they call shrinkflation; it’s a rip-off.”

“The American public is tired of being played for suckers,” Biden added.

Numerous social media users criticized Biden for his inflationary economic policies, implying that these policies were forcing companies to make adjustments in order to stay afloat and retain American jobs.

“Joe Biden, whose economic policies created the highest inflation in 40 years, blamed companies for shrinking the size of their products,” Outkick’s Clay Travis wrote. “This is the video he chose to make instead of doing a Super Bowl interview.”

“Typical communist tactic: Don’t blame the poor economic policies, blame the companies for adjusting to the poor economic policies (so they can stay afloat and keep Americans employed). If you don’t hate communists yet, you’re not paying attention,” another account noted in a post containing the video.

“How is this worthy of the office of the president, particularly when POTUS’s fiscal policy was a big driver of inflation?” wrote investor Bill Ackman, who was instrumental in exposing the plagiarism accusations that led to the resignation of disgraced former Harvard University president Claudine Gay.

Steve Cortes, who advised former President Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020, also noted the heavy editing involved in making the video, as Biden still appeared feeble in many shots.

The video was “highly produced, and he still comes across as SO feeble, I can’t believe they’re posted it,” he wrote, adding that borrowing or printing money “causes Inflation, not food companies. Biden inflicts incredible harm upon American buying power.”

Harmeet Dhillon, who challenged Ronna McDaniel for the Republican National Committee Chair position last year, wrote: “How stupid do Obama’s advisors think we are? This is the least of our worries.”
