President Biden likes to complain that he can’t get his “message” out there in a way that the American public understands. Maybe this is why?
TODAY: @POTUS Biden addresses a @AFLCIO convention in Philly to tout US economic strength: low unemployment rates, states and cities being buoyed by American Rescue Plan and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. White House says he’ll reiterate fighting inflation “is his top priority.”

This is schizophrenic. On the one hand, Biden intends to tout the passage of the law that, per Morgan Stanley’s analysts, “turbocharged consumption and drove inflation to 40-year highs.” And then, having done that, he intends to talk about how worried he is about inflation, “his top priority.”
This is ridiculous — yet another sign that Biden simply cannot let go of his presumptions. It is incoherence on a grand scale — akin in nature to a man who talks fondly about blowing up skyscrapers and then pivots to worrying about terrorism. Not only has Biden offered no mea culpa for his past actions, he has steadfastly refused to change his future plans as well. His White House is still considering the illegal and inflationary policy of transferring billions in student debt to taxpayers, it still covets some form of Build Back Better, and it still wants to raise taxes on corporations. It is, in a word, irredeemable.
