President Joe Biden has displayed a remarkable lack of shame when it comes to spreading falsehoods. His tendency to lie extends from personal matters such as his son’s death and academic achievements to professional aspects of his life. Even in the midst of a crucial election, Biden continues to rewrite history, leaving even his supporters taken aback by the audacity of his fabrications.
A recent video shared on X by RNC Research captures the 81-year-old president delivering false statements during a campaign event at the North American Building Trades Union conference in Washington, D.C.

BIDEN: "I cut the national debt so far!"
No, Biden has not cut the $34 trillion national debt — he has ADDED to it. pic.twitter.com/ciTzPWfAVd

In the video, Biden shouted that “I cut the national debt so far!”
While the clapping seals in the audience dutifully applauded Biden’s absurd statement, there was a man named Brandon Bishop, the secretary-treasurer of NABTU, seated just behind him. His facial expressions revealed a completely different thought process.
At first, Bishop appeared to agree with Biden’s words, but then he seemed perplexed. In the next moment, his eyes darted around suspiciously, as if questioning whether anyone else had noticed the falsehood. Eventually, he stopped applauding altogether. As the applause subsided, Biden’s speech became less coherent. He uttered something along the lines of, “And still got all of this other things did.” This might explain the confusion on Bishop’s face as well.
It was evident that Bishop had been paying close attention because none of Biden’s statements were even remotely true. According to a report by The Visual Capitalist on April 16, the United States’ debt payments have soared to $1 trillion, accumulating at a staggering rate of $2 billion per day. The actual national debt has reached a colossal amount of $34 trillion.
In fact, Biden has significantly increased the national debt from $27.7 trillion in 2020 to $34 trillion in just four years. Not only that, but CNBC reports that under Biden’s administration, the debt has been growing by $1 trillion every 100 days and is projected to reach $35 trillion soon.
