How Biden’s ‘Christmas Nightmare’ Turned Into A Gift-Giving Miracle

THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT

So much for the empty shelves and delayed packages this shopping season.

After months of the media insisting consumers were terrified about the rising inflation rate, and that stores would be barren this season thanks to supply chain woes, shoppers snatched up everything in sight, sending holiday sales soaring to a 17-year high. Clothing sales jumped 47 percent compared to 2019 (pre-Covid), jewelry 32 percent, electronics 16 perc.

That runaway spending meant consumers had no problem finding products, despite months of dire media warnings and claims that it all meant terrible news for the White House.

Alternately hyped as a “ problem,’ a “ Christmas crisis,” and even a looming “ nightmare” for President Joe Biden, the holiday season supply chain issue took on Herculean importance for the political press corps, which until this year had never cared about the global trade issue.

At an October White House press briefing, CBS’s Ed O’Keefe actually demanded to know if the White House would guarantee that every holiday package would arrive on time this year.
