No shame in ignorance. We are all ignorant until we learn. Of course, there is willful ignorance, which is something else . . .

Sadly, this is willfully ignorant. The President surely has access to economic data. To not research is choosing to be willfully ignorant.

Personally, I expect more from a politician.

While you're talking about Biden lying about inflation...the Trump campaign posted a video about creating a "unified Reich" if he wins.

Yes, they say they did not create it and the staffer missed seeing "Reich" but at this point we have to assume it's intentional. I could care less about their excuses. By the way the Washington Post counted 30,000 lies told by Trump during his Administration. 21 a day....

Are you saying that is Trump's viewpoint, counselor?

If so, evidence is needed.

This is simple. Fire the putz that allowed this through. Find who sent this in and attribute it to them.

There is NO way that Trump would state such a faux pas.

(BTW, this reminds me of RickyP) You are above this.

Trump has a long track record of racist dogwhistles. I'm not buying this was an accident. Has the staffer been fired? No! This is on Trump. This is his campaign and if he didn't support this then there should have been consequences for this. I'm above this? Let me know when he disavows the video and the junior staffer who did it was fired and whoever let a junior staffer post a video without vetting is fired. What happens when Trump does nothing? Do you agree to blame him then? You really think a junior staffer can post that video without approval? There is always going to be plausible deniability but that doesn't mean we have to accept it.

Is anyone really surprised that POTUS pardoned his son of all federal crimes? Even after President Biden said he would not? This reminds me of President Clinton pardoning his brother Roger Clinton.

Are there any other presidents who have pardoned relatives? I can't think of any.

Shameless...

Trump pardoned his son-in-law's father.

And nominated him to Ambassador of France!

Just as shameful.

Perhaps we can all agree that both are shameless. I have been saying that for quite some time.

I don't think they are equally shameful. Biden promised again and again that he would not pardon Hunter whereas Trump did not make such a promise. Also, Biden's pardon is sweeping -- 11 years and for any crime he may have committed over that time period. Whereas I see the point on the gun charge, the pardon for tax fraud is quite distressing.

Biden has tarnished his legacy forever.
