- President Joe Biden paused while eating an ice cream cone to brag that the United States economy was “strong as hell” — even though the inflation rate for the sweet dairy treat alone is 13.6 percent over last year.
- “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?”
- “I’m not concerned about the strength of the dollar; I’m concerned about the rest of the world,” Biden replied as he attempted to chew. “Does that make sense?”
