'That's why': Biden can't hide his annoyance when reporter confronts him about taking blame for inflation crisis - TheBlaze:
The narrative may be convenient for Biden, but it's simply not true.

Inflation began increasing in March 2021, ironically the same month that Biden signed his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 economic stimulus into law.

“Holy shit, Bob Mueller is not going to do it,” is how Dean Baquet, then the executive editor of the New York Times, described the moment his paper’s readers realized Mueller was not going to pursue Trump’s ouster.
Baquet, speaking to his colleagues in a town hall meeting soon after the testimony concluded, acknowledged the Times had been caught “a little tiny bit flat-footed” by the outcome of Mueller’s investigation.
That would prove to be more than an understatement.
- “I realized early on I had two jobs,” he (Trump) said. “The first was to run the country, and the second was survival. I had to survive: the stories were unbelievably fake.”
