I wonder if wandering Joe will repeat the lie (he's told it twice in recent days) that inflation was at 9% when he took office?

Does he know that it's a lie, and is deliberately trying to mislead the public? That's pretty much what he's been doing nearly all of his political career.

Or does he misremember the rate when he took office? Special counsel Robert Hur concluded that Joe's memory is poor, and he's not alone. Surely someone on Joe's staff would have corrected him after the first time he said it, but did Joe already forget that?

It could be both. He has a history of making false statements, particularly when embellishing his career and "accomplishments." And he has demonstrated forgetfulness.
