President Biden recently tried to express his optimism about the future of the United States, but unfortunately for him, he used a phrase that has been widely mocked. Biden said he has “never been more optimistic” about America’s future, using the phrase “my word as a Biden” to lend it credibility. Unfortunately, this statement was met with ridicule from both sides of the aisle on social media.
The Republican National Committee’s deputy communications director Nathan Brand and rapid response director Tommy Pigott pointed out multiple scandals during his administration thus far. They pointed out how there is an open border, real wages are down, energy costs are outrageously high and cartels are making billions smuggling fentanyl. It seems like Americans aren’t feeling very optimistic right now due to these issues and many more.
“My word as a Biden” doesn’t have the meaning he thinks it does… https://t.co/yHhtIiOL7b

In the past, Biden repeatedly gave his “word as a Biden” that Americans making under $400,000 per year would not pay another penny in higher taxes and that he was “going to make those at the top start to pay their share in taxes.” However, most Americans are still paying more in taxes due to Inflation Reduction Act which was signed by Biden in August. Senator Mike Crapo commented, “Nonpartisan analysts are confirming this bill raises taxes on the middle class and produces no meaningful deficit reduction when gimmicks are removed and the full cost is accounted for.”
Biden certainly doesn’t seem too popular right now with only 40% approving of him. This comes after two years of broken promises and a lack of progress on major issues facing America today such as the immigration crisis or border security issue.
It seems like Biden’s “word as a Biden” isn’t enough to restore people’s faith in him or motivate them into believing things will get better anytime soon – especially when what appears to be empty promises were made previously yet nothing has changed since then.
