President Joe Biden paused while eating an ice cream cone to brag that the United States economy was “strong as hell” — despite the fact that the inflation rate for the sweet dairy treat alone is 13.6% over last year.
Biden, who often stops for a cone while he’s out and about, explained over the weekend that he was not worried about the American economy so much as he was about economies around the world.
“Just one more economic question,” a reporter pressed the president as he began to eat his ice cream. “Are you concerned about the strength of the dollar right now?”
