President Joe Biden appeared to take a swipe at Americans’ intelligence as he discussed the ongoing struggles relating to the nation’s supply chain.
A reporter asked Biden for comment today on criticism for Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger, who said, “Nobody elected him to be F.D.R., they elected him to be normal and stop the chaos.”
“I don’t intend to be anybody but Joe Biden, that’s who I am,” Biden responded. “What I’m trying to do is do the things I ran on to do, and look, people out there are ordinary, hard-working Americans [who have been] put through the ringer the last couple of years.”
“If we were all going out and having lunch together and I said let’s ask whoever’s in the next table, no matter what restaurant we’re in, have them explain the supply chain to us. Do you think they’d understand what we’re talking about?” Biden asked.
Biden then said that he will take it upon himself to “explain to the American people” how the supply chain works and the issues it currently faces, adding that he hasn’t seen reporters “explain supply chain very well.”
Biden’s comments come as the United States is enmeshed in an historic supply chain mess, with dozens of cargo ships stranded off the US coast and prices of consumer goods skyrocket.

He is, actually, entirely correct.
Most people, probably 95%, havent a clue how a supply chain works, or what can be done to fix it.
Whoever likes Biden will blame it on circumstances, whoever dislikes him? will blame HIM.
The truth? well how’m I supposed to know? and really WHO CARES!?!
(please note, the last comment is meant in irony, thank you moral warriors)
P.S. The real joke is that Biden thinks HE can explain it…
Besides MASKS and MANDATES there’s precious little Biden knows. His intelligence is that of a 3 year old…. Oops..sorry.. Didn’t mean to insult any 3 year old. His (lack of) intelligence is directly correlated to the puppeteers pulling his strings.
Headline entirely misleading.
This article is complete bilge. He didn’t mock anyone. Sorry, I want to see the Donald as much as the next guy, but this article is stupidity.
The last guy in office would insult people right and left. And those were outright insults. Here, Biden, just points out a factual thing that most people don’t understand the nature or complexity of the supply chain issues (e.g. you can’t find two articles that agree on what is going on in the ports… One says the operators are working too slow, the other says they are moving record amounts of containers). You want to be insulted, than fine. Don’t think any insult was intended. That said, in life a lot of time fools get insulted about factual matters which they don’t understand.
Hmm, this isn’t rocket science.
Chinese factory makes goods.
Loads containers and drives to port.
Ships at port load with containers and sail to USA.
In USA, containers offloaded and goods trucked or trained to warehouses .
Warehouse offloads and drives truck to stores.
In every step of this manufacturing trip, due to Covid and other factors , major issues arose causing slowness and delays.
But it’s all Biden’s fault and Trump could solve it all.
LETS GO BRANDON!
Given that the American people elected him, it would seem he has a point.
