Biden, however, received support for his Twitter post from a surprising source —Chinese state-affiliated media.

“Now U.S. President finally realized that capitalism is all about exploitation. He didn’t believe this before,” Editor-in-Chief for the Chinese state-run China Daily newspaper Chen Weihua wrote.

Chen also shared a screenshot of a previous tweet where he responded to Biden saying “capitalism without competition” is “exploitation” by writing, “Capitalism is all about exploitation. Period.”

Biden’s Saturday post on Twitter was not the president’s first attempt to blame others for an economic crisis aggravated by his administration’s mishandling of the nation’s macroeconomy.

As the nation experiences record-high Inflation and soaring Gas Prices, Biden has scapegoated Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and big corporations for the country’s economic woes.

Biden’s Saturday tweet came as the national average price for gas stood at $4.812, according to the AAA.

Bezos has previously criticized Biden on Twitter for blame-shifting on economic issues. In May, the billionaire slammed Biden for blaming large corporations for the financial troubles by saying they were not paying their supposed fair share.

Bezos wrote, “they understandably want to muddy the topic. They know Inflation hurts the neediest the most. But unions aren’t causing Inflation and neither are wealthy people.”
