President Biden continued to brag about gas prices falling by a small amount on Twitter Monday morning, to the mockery of users.
"For American families looking for a little more breathing room, these savings matter," Biden’s presidential account tweeted.
The tweet also included a graphic informing followers that "At current prices, the average driver will spend $35 less per month for one peson [sic]" or "$70 less per month for a family with two cars than they would if gas prices stayed at their peak."
Washington Examiner and Daily Signal contributor Nicole Russell tweeted, "But I thought you had nothing to do with gas prices?"
Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy wrote, "In other words, Americans are paying over $100 more a month per ‘peson’ to fill up their gas tanks than when Biden took office."
Washington Examiner reporter Andrew Kerr noted, "The figures in Biden's tweet this morning assume the average ‘peson’ is consuming 50 gallons of gas a month per vehicle. 2 cars = 100 gallons of gas = $70 in ‘savings’ a month for the average American family, according to Biden's methodology."
"Now do prices compared to a year ago, snake oil salesman," Lone Conservative founder Kassy Dillon tweeted.
Biden had previously suggested that rising gas prices and inflation rates were caused by a "Putin Price Hike" due to the war in Ukraine. Since prices have fallen after their peak in June while the war rages on, the administration has started taken credit for the average price for a gallon of gas falling below $5. However, most states continue to pay more than $4 a gallon for gas, with the average price as of Monday at $4.36. When Biden took office on January 20, 2021, the average cost was $2.39 a gallon.
Many users also called out the blatant typo in the graphic, using "peson" instead of "person" in an official government tweet.

"For one 'peson'? That's great. I hate paying too much for a peson! Peson inflation is a bane on the nation's economy!" Washington Times reporter Mike Glenn tweeted.
Townhall.com editor Rebecca Downs wrote, "Who spellchecked this…? What is a ‘peson?’"
"How many people were involved in planning, designing, editing and sending this poster? Minimum of five, probably a lot more. Yet it still went out with a glaring typo. Tells you a lot about how this White House is staffed and run," tweeted Hans Mahncke, co-host of "Truth Over News" on EpochTV.

Before he left Washington in disgrace on January 20, 2021, Donald Trump vowed: "We will be back in some form." On this, at least, he was truthful.
The 45th President never really went away as his baleful influence lingers and his election lies fester with most Republican lawmakers still scared of his personality cult. And on Tuesday, Trump will return for the first time since he slunk out of a city traumatized by his coup attempt and ringed in steel to deter his insurrectionists.
While he's been exiled from Twitter and has been fuming away in his palace at Mar-a-Lago, Washington has spent almost every day since he left struggling with his legacy.
The eve of a visit that will encapsulate Trump's still vibrant threat to democracy as he fires up a 2024 campaign was no different. Revelations on Monday that a senior aide to ex-Vice President Mike Pence testified to a federal grand jury offered the first possible glimpse of a Justice Department probe into events surrounding the January 6, 2021, insurrection.

The House select committee investigating the attack released damning new evidence of Trump's dereliction of duty as his mob ransacked America's democratic citadel. And President Joe Biden fired off his most disdainful criticism yet of his predecessor over the "medieval hell" that Trump visited on police officers who fought his "Make America Great Again" rioters at the US Capitol.
Only now, after a summer of blockbuster televised hearings from the House select committee, is the full scale of Trump's political malfeasance becoming clear. And the 45th President is spoiling for more.
He is not returning to Washington on a ceremonial visit as a retired commander-in-chief claiming membership in the exclusive "President's club." That's one fraternity Trump would never want to join. And he wouldn't be welcome anyway. The 76-year-old former President is instead on the comeback trail. He will address the America First Agenda Summit, a gathering of former aides and officials from his administration who are trying to impose a coherent policy framework on the chaos of Trumpism.
Millions of Americans voted for Trump in 2016 because they rejected what they saw as remote political elites and global trade deals that cost them jobs and saw him as a guarantor of a mainly White, conservative American culture they saw threatened by rapid social change and a fast-diversifying nation. Yet Trump's presidency, and the manner of his leaving it, poses a question that goes beyond legitimate ideological struggles that have long divided Americans: What are the implications for the nation of a potential presidential candidate who was willing to destroy American democracy to stay in power and to crush the will of a majority of voters who wanted him gone?
Furthermore, Trump legitimized the use of violence to solve political disputes and to try to enforce the will of a minority -- an act contrary to the spirit of America's more-than-two-century-old political experiment. This is why the prospect of a new Trump campaign for the White House comes with such a grave undercurrent.
Trump is still dominating Washington
Ostensibly, Tuesday's appearance will give Trump the chance to begin fleshing out a policy agenda for the campaign that sources tell CNN he is desperate to launch any day, even if the GOP would prefer him to wait until after the midterms. But if recent experience is any guide, Trump's speech will be overtaken by his lies and self-obsession about his loss to Biden in 2020.
On the eve of his return, and even as the Biden White House battled to push back on the idea the US is plunging into a recession, Trump was at the center of great events in Washington that may still expose him to legal censure.
It emerged on Monday that Marc Short, Pence's ex-chief of staff, testified to a federal grand jury investigating what happened on January 6, 2021. Pence confirmed to CNN's Erin Burnett on Monday evening that he spoke under subpoena but said he couldn't say more, citing legal advice. The New York Times and Wall Street Journal reported Monday that a second top former Pence aide, Greg Jacob, was subpoenaed in the inquiry and testified before the federal grand jury.

The revelation that former senior White House officials went before the grand jury raised the possibility that a wide-ranging Justice Department probe is taking place that had not previously been visible -- in what would be a hugely significant development.
On another front, the House select committee released damning new evidence Monday that showed Trump was unwilling to forcibly condemn the rioters a day after their rampage through the Capitol. The then-President, whose handwriting was later identified under oath by his daughter Ivanka, removed references in a speech to the culprits deserving jail and not representing him.
Biden -- whose political legacy will rest on confining Trump to a single wrecking ball term in 2020 and may depend on his capacity to defeat him again -- once tried to ignore Trump. As he tried to move the country on and bring it together, he referred to his predecessor as "the other guy."
But on the eve of Trump's return to Washington, Biden launched one of his most strident attacks yet on his predecessor, prompted by the horrifying evidence amassed by the House committee.
The President was personal, disdainful and direct about Trump.
"We saw what happened: the Capitol Police, the DC Metropolitan Police, other law enforcement agencies were attacked and assaulted before our very eyes. Speared. Sprayed. Stomped on. Brutalized. Lives were lost," Biden said in virtual remarks to a conference of Black law enforcement officers in Florida.

"And for three hours, the defeated former President of the United States watched it all happen as he sat in the comfort of the private dining room next to the Oval Office," Biden said, describing police officers at the US Capitol as subject to "medieval hell for three hours, dripping in blood, surrounded by carnage."
"Face to face with a crazed mob that believed the lies of the defeated President, the police were heroes that day. Donald Trump lacked the courage to act," Biden said, praising law enforcement officers for saving America's democracy.
The President's comments sounded a lot like a preview of a potential campaign against Trump, should the former President go ahead with a candidacy and win the GOP nomination and if the current President makes good on his vow to run for reelection.

Biden -- whose political legacy will rest on confining Trump to a single wrecking ball term in 2020 and may depend on his capacity to defeat him again -- once tried to ignore Trump. As he tried to move the country on and bring it together, he referred to his predecessor as "the other guy."
But on the eve of Trump's return to Washington, Biden launched one of his most strident attacks yet on his predecessor, prompted by the horrifying evidence amassed by the House committee.
The President was personal, disdainful and direct about Trump.
"We saw what happened: the Capitol Police, the DC Metropolitan Police, other law enforcement agencies were attacked and assaulted before our very eyes. Speared. Sprayed. Stomped on. Brutalized. Lives were lost," Biden said in virtual remarks to a conference of Black law enforcement officers in Florida.

"And for three hours, the defeated former President of the United States watched it all happen as he sat in the comfort of the private dining room next to the Oval Office," Biden said, describing police officers at the US Capitol as subject to "medieval hell for three hours, dripping in blood, surrounded by carnage."
"Face to face with a crazed mob that believed the lies of the defeated President, the police were heroes that day. Donald Trump lacked the courage to act," Biden said, praising law enforcement officers for saving America's democracy.
The President's comments sounded a lot like a preview of a potential campaign against Trump, should the former President go ahead with a candidacy and win the GOP nomination and if the current President makes good on his vow to run for reelection.

President Biden continued to brag about gas prices falling by a small amount on Twitter Monday morning, to the mockery of users.
"For American families looking for a little more breathing room, these savings matter," Biden’s presidential account tweeted.
The tweet also included a graphic informing followers that "At current prices, the average driver will spend $35 less per month for one peson [sic]" or "$70 less per month for a family with two cars than they would if gas prices stayed at their peak."
Washington Examiner and Daily Signal contributor Nicole Russell tweeted, "But I thought you had nothing to do with gas prices?"
Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy wrote, "In other words, Americans are paying over $100 more a month per ‘peson’ to fill up their gas tanks than when Biden took office."
Washington Examiner reporter Andrew Kerr noted, "The figures in Biden's tweet this morning assume the average ‘peson’ is consuming 50 gallons of gas a month per vehicle. 2 cars = 100 gallons of gas = $70 in ‘savings’ a month for the average American family, according to Biden's methodology."
"Now do prices compared to a year ago, snake oil salesman," Lone Conservative founder Kassy Dillon tweeted.
Biden had previously suggested that rising gas prices and inflation rates were caused by a "Putin Price Hike" due to the war in Ukraine. Since prices have fallen after their peak in June while the war rages on, the administration has started taken credit for the average price for a gallon of gas falling below $5. However, most states continue to pay more than $4 a gallon for gas, with the average price as of Monday at $4.36. When Biden took office on January 20, 2021, the average cost was $2.39 a gallon.
Many users also called out the blatant typo in the graphic, using "peson" instead of "person" in an official government tweet.

"For one 'peson'? That's great. I hate paying too much for a peson! Peson inflation is a bane on the nation's economy!" Washington Times reporter Mike Glenn tweeted.
Townhall.com editor Rebecca Downs wrote, "Who spellchecked this…? What is a ‘peson?’"
"How many people were involved in planning, designing, editing and sending this poster? Minimum of five, probably a lot more. Yet it still went out with a glaring typo. Tells you a lot about how this White House is staffed and run," tweeted Hans Mahncke, co-host of "Truth Over News" on EpochTV.

Before he left Washington in disgrace on January 20, 2021, Donald Trump vowed: "We will be back in some form." On this, at least, he was truthful.
The 45th President never really went away as his baleful influence lingers and his election lies fester with most Republican lawmakers still scared of his personality cult. And on Tuesday, Trump will return for the first time since he slunk out of a city traumatized by his coup attempt and ringed in steel to deter his insurrectionists.
While he's been exiled from Twitter and has been fuming away in his palace at Mar-a-Lago, Washington has spent almost every day since he left struggling with his legacy.
The eve of a visit that will encapsulate Trump's still vibrant threat to democracy as he fires up a 2024 campaign was no different. Revelations on Monday that a senior aide to ex-Vice President Mike Pence testified to a federal grand jury offered the first possible glimpse of a Justice Department probe into events surrounding the January 6, 2021, insurrection.

The House select committee investigating the attack released damning new evidence of Trump's dereliction of duty as his mob ransacked America's democratic citadel. And President Joe Biden fired off his most disdainful criticism yet of his predecessor over the "medieval hell" that Trump visited on police officers who fought his "Make America Great Again" rioters at the US Capitol.
Only now, after a summer of blockbuster televised hearings from the House select committee, is the full scale of Trump's political malfeasance becoming clear. And the 45th President is spoiling for more.
He is not returning to Washington on a ceremonial visit as a retired commander-in-chief claiming membership in the exclusive "President's club." That's one fraternity Trump would never want to join. And he wouldn't be welcome anyway. The 76-year-old former President is instead on the comeback trail. He will address the America First Agenda Summit, a gathering of former aides and officials from his administration who are trying to impose a coherent policy framework on the chaos of Trumpism.
Millions of Americans voted for Trump in 2016 because they rejected what they saw as remote political elites and global trade deals that cost them jobs and saw him as a guarantor of a mainly White, conservative American culture they saw threatened by rapid social change and a fast-diversifying nation. Yet Trump's presidency, and the manner of his leaving it, poses a question that goes beyond legitimate ideological struggles that have long divided Americans: What are the implications for the nation of a potential presidential candidate who was willing to destroy American democracy to stay in power and to crush the will of a majority of voters who wanted him gone?
Furthermore, Trump legitimized the use of violence to solve political disputes and to try to enforce the will of a minority -- an act contrary to the spirit of America's more-than-two-century-old political experiment. This is why the prospect of a new Trump campaign for the White House comes with such a grave undercurrent.
Trump is still dominating Washington
Ostensibly, Tuesday's appearance will give Trump the chance to begin fleshing out a policy agenda for the campaign that sources tell CNN he is desperate to launch any day, even if the GOP would prefer him to wait until after the midterms. But if recent experience is any guide, Trump's speech will be overtaken by his lies and self-obsession about his loss to Biden in 2020.
On the eve of his return, and even as the Biden White House battled to push back on the idea the US is plunging into a recession, Trump was at the center of great events in Washington that may still expose him to legal censure.
It emerged on Monday that Marc Short, Pence's ex-chief of staff, testified to a federal grand jury investigating what happened on January 6, 2021. Pence confirmed to CNN's Erin Burnett on Monday evening that he spoke under subpoena but said he couldn't say more, citing legal advice. The New York Times and Wall Street Journal reported Monday that a second top former Pence aide, Greg Jacob, was subpoenaed in the inquiry and testified before the federal grand jury.

The revelation that former senior White House officials went before the grand jury raised the possibility that a wide-ranging Justice Department probe is taking place that had not previously been visible -- in what would be a hugely significant development.
On another front, the House select committee released damning new evidence Monday that showed Trump was unwilling to forcibly condemn the rioters a day after their rampage through the Capitol. The then-President, whose handwriting was later identified under oath by his daughter Ivanka, removed references in a speech to the culprits deserving jail and not representing him.

New video from January 6 committee reveals Trump crossed out lines in speech condemning lawbreakers
The revelation that former senior White House officials went before the grand jury raised the possibility that a wide-ranging Justice Department probe is taking place that had not previously been visible -- in what would be a hugely significant development.
On another front, the House select committee released damning new evidence Monday that showed Trump was unwilling to forcibly condemn the rioters a day after their rampage through the Capitol. The then-President, whose handwriting was later identified under oath by his daughter Ivanka, removed references in a speech to the culprits deserving jail and not representing him.
Biden -- whose political legacy will rest on confining Trump to a single wrecking ball term in 2020 and may depend on his capacity to defeat him again -- once tried to ignore Trump. As he tried to move the country on and bring it together, he referred to his predecessor as "the other guy."
But on the eve of Trump's return to Washington, Biden launched one of his most strident attacks yet on his predecessor, prompted by the horrifying evidence amassed by the House committee.
The President was personal, disdainful and direct about Trump.
"We saw what happened: the Capitol Police, the DC Metropolitan Police, other law enforcement agencies were attacked and assaulted before our very eyes. Speared. Sprayed. Stomped on. Brutalized. Lives were lost," Biden said in virtual remarks to a conference of Black law enforcement officers in Florida.

"And for three hours, the defeated former President of the United States watched it all happen as he sat in the comfort of the private dining room next to the Oval Office," Biden said, describing police officers at the US Capitol as subject to "medieval hell for three hours, dripping in blood, surrounded by carnage."
"Face to face with a crazed mob that believed the lies of the defeated President, the police were heroes that day. Donald Trump lacked the courage to act," Biden said, praising law enforcement officers for saving America's democracy.
The President's comments sounded a lot like a preview of a potential campaign against Trump, should the former President go ahead with a candidacy and win the GOP nomination and if the current President makes good on his vow to run for reelection.
