After chowing down on some wings and tackling a bag of chips during the Super Bowl, President Joe Biden put on his serious face and took to social media to blast big companies for what he’s calling “shrinkflation.” That’s right, folks – according to the president, those sneaky companies are downsizing your snacks while keeping the prices the same! The nerve of these snack moguls, am I right?

In his video, Biden, a self-proclaimed ice cream aficionado, blew off some steam about how his beloved ice cream cartons have been shrinking without any sympathy for his wallet. “I’ve had enough of what they call shrinkflation. It’s a ripoff,” the president exclaimed. Now, if there’s one thing the president doesn’t mess around with, it’s his frozen treats.
But let’s get down to the real beef here (or should I say, chicken wings): This whole shrinkflation fiasco is just another symptom of the Bidenomics disaster. The prez has been trying to sell this idea that he’s making life more affordable for us regular folks, but the polls aren’t buying it. Only 35% of people seem to think the economy is doing well, and that’s not exactly a stellar report card for ol’ Biden.
And get this – a bunch of folks in a recent survey actually said they’d trust former President Donald Trump with the economy over Biden. I mean, come on, that’s like picking a ribeye over tofu! Trump might not have secured the GOP nomination, but he’s been racking up wins in the primaries. Looks like the voters are getting hungry for some good, old-fashioned leadership again.
But hang on a second – remember how the prez decided to skip doing a big interview during the Super Bowl for the second year in a row? According to White House press secretary Karine Jean Pierre, it’s because people “want to see the game.” Well, newsflash, Mr. President: People also want to see you score some points for our economy. But hey, what do I know? I’m just enjoying my snacks and hoping for a winning team – both on the field and in the White House.
