Sorry, but the economy wasn't good.
It wasn't entirely his fault that it wasn't good, because of the
pandemic, but it clearly wasn't good.
So that part is definitely false.
Then onto "hyper-inflation" and "BAM" taken together.
Sure, inflation did get high for a while...
...because if disruptions to supply chains caused by the pandemic and
the recession it caused.
But "hyper-inflation" is a defined term in economics, and inflation
during the Biden administration never came close"
'a hyperinflationary episode as starting in the month that the monthly
inflation rate exceeds 50%, and as ending when the monthly inflation
rate drops below 50% and stays that way for at least a year'
As for gas prices being "higher than ever, they were higher for a
relatively short period in the middle of 2022 and were back to "normal"
(when normal tracks for the ordinary increase of prices due to normal
amounts of inflation) 6 months later.
