Biden's 'Zero' Inflation Claim Sparks Outrage, Critics Call It Gaslighting

The Biden administration is under fire for spreading misinformation about inflation rates, as critics accuse them of trying to gaslight the public.
On Thursday, the official Twitter account of President Joe Biden claimed that there was "zero" inflation in May. However, this statement has been widely disputed by economists and financial experts, who point out that inflation was actually 3.4% in May.
This means that prices are still rising, albeit at a slower rate than in previous months. However, the overall inflation rate since Biden took office has been around 20%, which is significantly higher than the rate under his predecessor, Donald Trump.
Critics have accused the Biden administration of trying to deceive the public by claiming that inflation is not a problem. Many people have taken to social media to express their frustration and anger at the administration's dishonesty.
"Lying is the only thing they do," tweeted one user. "So you're saying that the overall inflation rate since your term as president began has leveled out at around 20%. Got it."
Others pointed out that the "zero" inflation rate in May simply means that prices did not rise any further than they already had. This does not mean that prices are dropping or that inflation is no longer a problem.
"The zero just means it didn’t get any worse from the months upon months of compounding inflation leading up to now," tweeted another user. "U reek of dishonesty."
The Biden administration has been widely criticized for its handling of the economy, with many people blaming the president's policies for the high inflation rates and rising prices. This latest incident is likely to further erode public trust in the administration and fuel calls for a change in direction.
As one commentator put it, "It's entirely possible the Biden White House hires staffers who they know will go by the philosophy 'It's not a lie if you believe it.'"
Only time will tell whether the Biden administration will be able to turn things around and restore confidence in its ability to manage the economy. In the meantime, the public will continue to demand honesty and transparency from their leaders.
