Debunking Crooked Joe Biden’s Exit Interview

January 08, 2025

Mercifully, President Trump will soon restore dignity to the Oval Office.

 

Crooked Joe Biden sat down with USA TODAY for an exit interview before he leaves office in disgrace.

 

It was part delusion, part fabrication — and all incoherent.

 

Let's set the record straight:

 

CLAIM: "That's why I worked so damn hard to get Japan and the Quad worked out with India, Japan, Australia, the United States."

FACT: The Quad was re-established in 2017 under President Trump.

 

CLAIM: "The interest rate was 9% when we came into office in the beginning. It was down to 2.34% now. So I would argue that inflation was worldwide."

FACT: Biden is talking about inflation, not interest rates, but he's still wrong — and it's a lie he has repeatedly told. Inflation was 1.4% when Biden took office.

 

CLAIM: "I diminished the direct conflict with major adversaries."

FACT: Biden's disastrous foreign policy led to escalated conflict and instability around the world — and ushering in the conditions for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the October 7th attack on Israel, and an unprecedented number of U.S. embassy evacuations worldwide. It wouldn't have happened under Trump.

 

CLAIM: "We increased employment by 16 million people."

FACT: The majority of the jobs Biden "created" were jobs from President Trump's first term that were recovered from the pandemic. After revisions, Biden has only created about 6.1 million jobs.

 

CLAIM: "I knew how much inflation was affecting their lives..."

FACT: Biden repeatedly, and falsely, insisted inflation was "transitory" — until it was far too late. Meanwhile, economists (including a former Obama-Biden treasury secretary) blame the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan as inflation's "original sin."

 

CLAIM: "I think yes, based on the polling that [I would have won the election]."

FACT: That isn't even close to what the polling said, which showed Biden was on track to lose in an historic landslide.

 

CLAIM: "I think if he moves on the tax cuts of $5 trillion, I think if he moves on dealing with increasing tariffs across the board, all they are is increasing cost of consumers in America."

FACT: If President Trump's successful tax cuts are not re-authorized, 207 million American taxpayers will see an average tax hike of 22% — while President Trump's tariffs will protect the American worker.

 

CLAIM: "Wages are up."

FACT: Real average weekly earnings are down 3% since Biden took office.

 

CLAIM: "It has attracted over 11, excuse me, a trillion dollars in private sector investment."

FACT: It's not $1 trillion — and those aren't actual investments.

 

CLAIM: "Yet the president comes along...and says, 'It's clear. It's an invasion from the South. All these immigrants are causing all this problem.'"

FACT: An unprecedented number of terrorists and criminals have entered the country through Biden's open border as the terrorists worldwide have become increasingly emboldened following Biden's disastrous foreign policy.

 

CLAIM: "I work like hell."

FACT: Biden has taken more vacation than any president in modern history, spending nearly 40% of his entire presidency on vacation.
