Joe Biden Sparks Confusion with Claim He ‘Used to Drive an 18-Wheeler’

President Joe Biden used a visit to a Mack Truck facility in Pennsylvania on Wednesday to roll up his sleeves and assert solidarity with the workers, telling them “I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man.” He offered no evidence to support the boast.

RNC Research shared the video of Biden and captioned it “Joe Biden, a career politician who has been in politics for 48 years, claims he “used to drive an 18 wheeler.”

RNC Director Zach Parkinson said there was “zero evidence that Biden used to drive an 18 wheeler.”

“The extent of Biden’s trucking experience is that he **rode in** a truck once, for one night in 1973 (he made sure to return home by plane though),” he tweeted.

Parkinson also shared an Associated Press article about Biden’s 1973 journey, which was headlined “Senator observes truckers’ woes.” That article said: “Biden takes 550-mile ride.”

Fox News later pressed the White House on Biden’s claim with a spokesperson observing the president “rode” in a truck back in 1973.

The spokesperson shared with Fox News a 1973 article from the Wilmington Evening Journal showing the president sitting in an 18-wheeler, not driving it.

The president’s spokesperson pointed to a United Federation of Teachers post that touched on Biden driving a school bus in the past as a summer job.

During his speech in Pennsylvania, Biden also joked about wanting to drive a truck.

“Well, I’m not going to say anything; I just came to drive a truck,” the president said. “And I’m not sure which one I want to drive. That one? There’s one back in the corner you can’t see. It’s the biggest damn pick-up truck you ever saw in your life.”

18 Wheeler? I flew an 18 Wheeler, the Boeing- 747-400.
The “wide body, Jumbo jet has 18 wheels to support the huge gross weight of the airplane. Two wheels on the nose gear and Four four wheel main landing gear. Max takeoff weight was 870,000 pounds.

Joe Biden is a dreamer who never passes up the opportunity to tell a lie. He may have had a ride in an “eighteen wheeler,” but I doubt that he “drove” it.
His lies are not amusing. They aren’t because of his dementia, the lies are habitual/pathological.

“I expect to see him eating on the front lawn of the White House any day.”

Did you mean to say, “eating the front lawn?”
“Chewing on the front lawn,” is even better! LOL

I’m sure truckers do not call them 18 wheelers.

The trouble is he’s lied so much for so long, most of his political career. You have to ask when did his dementia actually start? Its hard to tell !

Its time like this I like to thank the voters of Delaware. Voters who thought so little of the voting franchise that they had no trouble enabling this buffoon and his corrupt family for 36+ years !

Biden might have got some brief training and practice when he was young.

That ain’t the same as “used to drive” an 18 wheeler.

I got over Macho Grande. Not sure about the rest of the squad.

Good. I trust you to fly us home safely then.

Biden can’t remember 1973. And the Media dutifully repeats this asinine excuse for Biden’s latest dementia-related goof?!

If we had any late-night comedians they’d be having a field day over Biden’s gaffes.

Nothing to do with dementia, Biden has been a lying, plagiarizing, POS all his life lying about his accomplishments and believing every word that came out of his mouth. There is nothing new in Joes behavior as far as that goes. Otherwise yeah Joe is quite the demented one.

Joe loves the idea of destroying things.
When he was younger, Joe was impressed by the wanton destructiveness of the demented truck driver in the movie “Duel.”
