President Joe Biden sent an open letter to Democrats on Monday that was filled with hallucinations and lies in a desperate effort to shore up his party’s declining help.
Following widespread condemnation for his poor primary debate effectiveness against former president Donald Trump last quarter, Biden reaffirmed his devotion to the Democrat nominee, citing both his track record and what he  suggested was his political strength in opposition to his Democrat opponent.  ,
Three insane lies are included in the text.
1. Trump May veer away from oil donors when large campaign donations are received.
Biden addressed his competitor’s energy policy, stating,” It was n’t an isolated moment for Trump to stand at Mar-A-Lago and tell the oil industry they should give him$ 1 billion and he will do whatever they want” . ,
According to The New York Times, two participants at an energy large table campaign event held at Mar-a-Lago heard the former president say that his policies may gain oil companies in May.  ,
There is not, however, proof that Trump did “do whatever they]the businesses ] want”, as Biden proposed in his email.  ,
The Times has also noted that Biden himself has not been hard on oil as he insists, U. S. oil production has supposedly reached an , all-time high , under the Biden administration,  , even as the production is n’t reflected in energy prices.  ,
” He]Biden ] has authorized an enormous$ 8 billion oil development in Alaska known as the Willow project”, The Times , wrote. Despite criticism from climate researchers and environmental organizations, he also granted a vital force for the Mountain Valley Pipeline, a task supported by West Virginia Democrat Senator Joe Manchin III.
According to reports, Trump’s campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt claimed that people who support him” share his vision of American energy dominance to protect our national security and lower the cost of living for all Americans.”
2. Trump intends to reduce Medicare and Social Security Benefits.
Biden continued to claim that the former president “wants ] another$ 5 trillion in tax cuts for wealthy people so they can reduce Social Security and Medicare.”
Trump has repeatedly stated that he does n’t intend to reduce Medicare or Social Security benefits for Americans.  ,
The Biden campaign has consistently peddled this lie, going back to , March , of this year.  ,
In an , interview , with CNBC’s Joe Kernen, Trump was asked about the rising national debt and his opinion on entitlements such as Medicare and Social Security, and specifically if cutting those entitlements would aid in lessening the national debt.  ,
” So first of all, there is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements in terms of cutting , and in terms of also the theft and the bad management of entitlements, tremendous bad management of entitlements”, Trump said. ” So I do n’t necessarily agree with the statement. I am aware that Social Security will ultimately be weakened by the weakening of the nation.
Trump made a clear statement that he disagrees with Kernen’s question and that fixing these entitlement programs ‘ poor management and waste could be a way forward. The Biden campaign ran with it, drawing unfair and inaccurate conclusions about Trump’s statement.  ,
The Biden camp continued to call out Trump on entitlement programs, to which the Trump campaign replied in a , post , on X,” If you losers did n’t cut his answer short, you would know President Trump was talking about cutting waste”, not the actual programs, as Biden insists.  ,
3. Americans are currently receiving lower costs from the Biden administration.
The president claimed that his policies are actively “lowering costs for families — from student debt to housing,” from health care to prescription drugs.
In reality, Biden’s policies have led to a 20 % cumulative inflation rate and prices that are rising more quickly than Americans ‘ incomes. Biden has n’t “lower]ed ] costs for families”. Rather, “grocery prices have increased by , nearly one-third , and gas has  , risen by 50 percent“, and “it now costs the average American family ,$ 12, 000 more , to maintain the same living standards as before Biden took office”.  ,
Inflation reached a peak of 9.1 percent in June 2022, almost halfway through Biden’s term. Even with inflation slowly decreasing, hitting just over 3 percent in May, prices are still sky-high. The cumulative 20 percent inflation figure represents the overall increase in inflation since the president’s inauguration, with pre-Biden era inflation ringing in at 1.4 percent, below the Federal Reserve’s goal of 2 percent.
A , Gallup poll , from May 2024 revealed that only 38 percent of Americans have confidence that Biden is doing the right thing for the economy. According to , Reuters, the economy has been the most important issue to Americans for over ten consecutive weeks.  ,
