Biden, however, may start to better understand Americans\u2019 economic woes when realizes that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/news.release\/cpi.htm\">his prized ice cream has gone up 9.6%<\/a> in price year-over-year.<\/p>\n<p>The report will undoubtedly cause more stress for the president as he struggles to stay afloat in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/poll\">polls<\/a>, but also because the self-described \u201cice cream guy\u201d will now have to pay more money for one of his favorite foods \u2014 like all Americans.<\/p>\n<p>On June 2, CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/06\/02\/politics\/joe-biden-messaging-struggles\/index.html\">reported<\/a> that Biden was grappling with how to be a president because, unlike when he was second-in-command under President Barack Obama, he simply cannot discuss \u201cserious\u201d topics while purchasing frozen dairy treats.<\/p>\n<p>CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/06\/02\/politics\/joe-biden-messaging-struggles\/index.html\">opined<\/a>: \u201cThe country is pulling itself apart, pandemic infections keep coming, inflation keeps rising, a new crisis on top of new crisis arrives daily and Biden can\u2019t see a way to address that while also being the looser, happier, more sympathetic, lovingly Onion-parody inspiring, aviator-wearing, vanilla chip cone-licking guy \u2014 an image that was the core of why he got elected in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It seems that the state of the union has been a bit of a downer for the president who was looking to leisurely enjoy his late 70s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has to speak to very serious things,\u201d one White House staffer told CNN, \u201cand you can\u2019t do that getting ice cream.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet \u2014 strangely enough \u2014 if Biden had spent more time getting ice cream in a store, then he would likely see the cost of his cone increasing with each trip.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe then he would begin to understand that rising costs are hurting the American people and forcing them to change their eating habits and other behaviors.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/americans-changing-the-way-they-buy-groceries-as-inflation-soars-study-finds\">reported<\/a> that a recent BMO Real Financial Progress Index, a quarterly survey from BMO and Ipsos, revealed that 42% of surveyed adults \u201care changing how they shop for groceries,\u201d including \u201copting for cheaper items, avoiding brand names and buying only the essentials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president has maintained that economic anxiety is occurring because \u2014 as he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-on-jimmy-kimmel-live-blaming-republicans-praising-himself-and-rambling-incoherently\">told<\/a> Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday \u2014 he has not been able to communicate all the wonderful policies that he has enacted for the American people.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear how Biden would like to be communicating, but it is reasonable to assume that he does not want to start calling small business managers smarta**es as he did in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>As vice president, Biden visited Kopp\u2019s Frozen Custard Shop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As the video below shows, he entered the store and yelled, \u201cWhere\u2019s the ice cream?\u201d After being reminded it was a frozen custard store, he said, \u201cOh, where\u2019s the custard?\u201d and began to help himself to the tasty product behind the counter.<\/p>\n<p>Upon checkout, Biden asked, \u201cHow much do I owe you?\u201d The store manager jokingly replied, \u201cLower our taxes, and we\u2019ll call it even.\u201d The vice president seemed rankled by the comment.<\/p>\n<p>Biden walked away but moments later returned, and said: \u201cWhy don\u2019t you say something nice instead of being such a smarta** all the time?\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>Interestingly enough, Biden also allegedly made a similar comment to White House reporters this past week. On Wednesday, Politico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/west-wing-playbook\/2022\/06\/08\/biden-to-media-be-better-00038244\">reported<\/a> that there \u201cis growing frustration by the president and his family that he is not receiving the kind of generally more positive coverage they believe he deserves.\u201d The outlet added that Biden took the time to blast reporters aboard Air Force One for not giving him more credit on his economic recovery efforts in an off-the-record meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Some of that credit includes his ability to feel the American people\u2019s pain, apparently. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2022\/06\/07\/white_houses_jean-pierre_the_economy_is_in_a_better_place_than_it_has_been_historically.html\">often repeats<\/a> that Biden \u201cunderstands very personally\u201d how rising prices can impact a family\u2019s budget. The president himself has <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1509590256462532615?s=20&#038;t=2NzGo7wlBTuyhWO2nKwLCg\">said<\/a> he \u201cgrew up in a family like many of you where the price of a gallon of gasoline went up, it was discussed at the kitchen table.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, gas prices were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearmarkets.com\/articles\/2022\/02\/22\/president_biden_just_told_a_monster_whopper_that_both_sides_missed_817680.html\">mostly flat during his childhood<\/a> and that time period in his life was more than 60 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>If he is looking to connect with the American people in a better way about inflation, perhaps he should start paying more attention to rising ice cream prices.<\/p>\n<p>Better yet, he can start enacting actual policies that shrink government spending and which will slow down inflation \u2014 including lowering taxes as requested by that Kopp\u2019s Custard manager.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I scream, you scream, we all scream \u2014 especially President Joe Biden \u2014 at the rising cost of ice cream.
