The year in whoppers: Joe Biden’s STILL gaslighting on inflation, Zohran Mamdani’s flipping the Gaza script and more

A resurgence of Trump Derangement Syndrome, the rise of socialist antisemite Zohran Mamdani and woker-than-woke wackiness fueled some truly bizarre statements in 2025.

Below are some of the worst:

— Compiled by The Post Editorial Board

“We lowered the price of everything from health care to cost of college to junk fees in airline tickets and credit cards.” — Former President Joe Biden, Dec. 6

We say: Nearly a year out of office, Biden’s still gaslighting about prices during his watch, when inflation actually hit its highest level in 40 years. Of course, given his mental decline, maybe he thinks he really did lower prices.

“Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war.” — Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, Oct. 7

We say: Thousands of Hamas savages invaded Israel, killing 1,200 innocent Israelis, raping scores of others and kidnapping 251 — all in the hope of wiping out every one of the Jewish state’s inhabitants. Yet Mamdani claims Israel “launched a genocidal war”?

“The MAGA gang desperately [tried] to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.” — Jimmy Kimmel, Sept. 15

and

“From a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year. Tyranny is booming [in America].”

— Dec. 25

We say: Kimmel falsely claimed Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson was “MAGA,” despite no evidence at all to suggest that — and some evidence hinting the opposite. Then, on Christmas Day, he smeared the US political system as fascist and tyrannical. Why is he still on the air?

“There is nothing I dislike more than the politician that . . . lies to you.” — Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom, Nov. 2

We say: If that were true, Newsom would hate himself most of all. Yet he doesn’t — proving his statement false on its face.

---

“Hitler had a large ball room [too] . . .” — Mia Farrow, Oct. 21

We say: Classic Hollywood reasoning: President Trump and Hitler both like big ball rooms. Ergo, Trump must be Hitler. Come to think of it, that wouldn’t even work in a movie.

“That’s why I’m wearing this paper clip . . . When there was a Nazi occupation, [teachers in Norway] started wearing paper clips.” — American Federation of Teachers boss Randi Weingarten, Sept. 29

We say: The only thing loonier than suggesting Trump is running a Nazi  government (the theme of Weingarten’s recent book) is wearing a paper clip to make the point. And this is the woman who leads the nation’s teachers? Pray for America’s kids.

“[Free buses work] because . . . if people are given a quality alternative they can afford, they’ll use it.”

— Former Bill de Blasio, Sept. 2

We say: The brilliance of the socialist mind: Give people something good, and free, and lo and behold they’ll take it  — proving the model works! Uh, Earth to socialists: Nothing is actually “free.”

---

“We don’t have cashless bail in New York.” — Gov. Kathy Hochul, Aug. 26

We say: What “New York” is she talking about? Unless a defendant has another case pending, judges in this New York must spring defendants without requiring cash bail for almost every possible crime except the most violent ones.

---

“We don’t censor anyone.” — UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, July  28

We say: No censorship in the UK? Tell that to the 12,000 people arrested there every year for speech-related “offenses.”

---

“We know how the age of colonialism worked on this planet.” — CBS news host Vlad Duthiers, Aug. 6

We say: Duthiers was warning about plans to colonize the moon. Apparently, someone needs to tell him there are no people on the moon to “colonize.”

---

“The No Kings protests appear to be a massive success.” — The Atlantic’s Jonathan Chait, June 14

We say: If the goal was to get purple-haired radicals, woke boomers and the TDS-afflicted to attend pointless parties, the No Kings “protests” were a smashing success. Yet as wags noted, America had the exact same number of kings after the event as before: zero.

“We are gonna continue to speak lies to [Trump’s] truth.” — Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.), March 4

We say: Kamlager-Dove likely mixed up the words “lies” and “truth.” But her inadvertent phrasing happens to come a whole lot closer to reality for her and her lefty ilk.
