Critics blasted President Biden on Wednesday after he posted a tweet boasting about the state of the US economy and referencing “one analyst” who touted him as having the “strongest first-year economic track record” in half a century.
“We’re ending 2021 with what one analyst described as the strongest first-year economic track record of any president in the last 50 years,” read the message from the @POTUS account. “Let’s keep the progress going.”
Biden did not name the analyst, causing many to question the president’s sourcing after a year marred by soaring inflation, an ongoing supply chain crisis and the coronavirus pandemic.
“I didn’t realize April Fools’ Day was in December this year,” wrote Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.).
