Several people took to Twitter Friday evening to criticize President Biden after he tweeted that he had “never been more optimistic” about serving another two years in the White House.
“Two years in, and I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future,” Biden said on the two-year anniversary of his inauguration, which was on Jan. 20, 2021.
But, people who responded to the post did not share the president’s enthusiasm.
“Well, that makes one of us,” one user replied.
Comedian Tim Young chided: “Gas is up 40 cents from last month and eggs are $9.”
“You’re not even awake. Put the phone down, intern,” another Tweet said.
Another user commented: “Two years in, I’d say the only direction you have to go at this point, is up.”
“Jesus take the wheel,” said another.
Despite the president’s optimism, he remains widely unpopular in most opinion polls.
Biden’s public approval rating remains near the lowest level of his presidency, with only 40% approved of his performance, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
The president and the White House have said Biden will run for re-election in 2024, though he has not officially declared his candidacy for re-election. Such an announcement is expected and could come as early as next month.
At 80, Biden is the oldest person in U.S. history to serve as president.
