Biden’s price hikes are killing the American Dream…Crooked Joe and his cronies are getting rich while you’re struggling to get by…

Video transcript 2:50

It was just announced last month, inflation surged once again and surged very badly. Joe Biden's inflation tax continues to take away 30 to 50 percent of every dollar you have. It's a 50 percent tax. That's what it is. Joe Biden, without any tax hikes, which he's going to give the biggest ever, has already tax-hyped you 50 percent. It's like a sales tax, but much bigger, more painful, and more destructive, because all of the money goes to pay for Joe Biden's wasteful inflation spending like the Green News scam. And that's what it is. It's a scam. Not one thing is cheaper under Crooked Joe's food, gasoline, cars, trucks, rent, and mortgages. They're all through the roof. The whole country's going to hell because of this guy. He's got a 50 percent tax, and nobody ever talks about it, and nobody wants to hear about it. But that's what it is. It's called an inflation tax. Biden's price hikes are killing the American dream. Perhaps most tragically of all, the 50 percent Biden inflation tax hits working Americans and young Americans are artists. It also hits African Americans and Hispanic Americans like as hard as they've ever been hit. It's a massive wealth confiscation from the people who need it most and from people also that produce our jobs. Crooked Joe and his cronies are getting rich while you're struggling to get by. If you're a young person, Joe Biden has completely pulled the rug out from under you. There is no longer an American dream. He's made it impossible for you to save to buy a house or to have a wedding while simultaneously driving up the price of everything for which you want to save. The month I left office, the 30 year mortgage rate was 2.65 percent. Now it's almost 8 percent. Joe Biden is the worst president for young people in American history. The Biden inflation tax is also crushing corner stores, restaurants and small businesses of all kinds, including those owned by millions and millions of African Americans and Hispanic Americans. They're the ones that are taking this the hardest. They're the ones that have just told Joe Biden we don't want you anymore. Look at the poll numbers. The Hispanic Americans, African Americans don't want Joe Biden anymore. He's destroying their dream. One thing is very clear. Whether you're young or old, black or white, you can't afford four more years of Crooked Joe Biden, the worst ever. I will end this nightmare and we will once again have the greatest economy in history, the history of the world. Thank you.

A brief, aide-authored campaign post accompanying a video drop, timed to business hours (5:26 PM EDT) during one of the most consequential days of Trump's Manhattan criminal trial — when Michael Cohen was testifying that Trump personally directed hush-money payments. The psychological function is displacement: by redirecting audience attention to Biden's economic record, the campaign apparatus manages a damaging news cycle without Trump directly engaging his own legal jeopardy. The content itself is formulaic populist attack copy — 'Crooked Joe,' 'killing the American Dream,' cronies-vs.-the-people — consistent with campaign media strategy rather than authentic impulsive posting. Projection is present in the 'cronies getting rich' framing, which mirrors accusations made against Trump's own financial arrangements. Danger level is none; this post contains no eliminationist language, dehumanization, or stochastic terrorism indicators. Factually, the core claim — 'Biden's price hikes' — attributes a complex post-pandemic global inflationary event to a single actor's deliberate policy, which is mostly false as causal framing, though inflation did measurably rise during Biden's term. The post is clinically unremarkable in isolation; its significance lies entirely in the trial context it is designed to displace.

Fact Checks (2)
"Biden's price hikes are killing the American Dream"
Mostly False

U.S. CPI peaked at 9.1% in June 2022 — a real inflationary surge — but it was driven by global supply-chain disruptions, post-pandemic demand recovery, energy market shocks from Russia-Ukraine war, and prior-period monetary stimulus. 'Biden's price hikes' implies deliberate executive pricing action, which is not factually accurate. By May 2024 inflation had declined significantly to ~3.4%.

"Crooked Joe and his cronies are getting rich"
Unverifiable

Vague assertion without specific claims. Biden's reported net worth is modest for a career politician (~$10M). The 'cronies getting rich' framing is a rhetorical device, not a specific verifiable claim.
