Joe Biden has falsely claimed that he used to drive 18 wheeler trucks. Fox News. Biden said he had driven the trucks while at a Mack Truck factory in Pennsylvania. The White House struggled to explain the claim saying that Biden had ridden in a truck during a delivery Ohio. They also said that Biden drove a school bus as a summer job.

My Comment:

Just a quick silly story. I am not sure if Biden was lying here, confused or just having another senior moment but it's pretty clear that Biden has not driven an 18 wheeler. It's not a big deal really, but I did want to point out the media bias here. It's very possible that Biden just misspoke. After all if he had said that he had rode in an 18 wheeler he would have told the truth. 

The only networks and websites that covered this gaff are conservative leaning ones like Fox News and the Daily Mail. Mainstream media are silent on this story. Normally I would excuse this as just it being a minor story but you just know if it was President Trump back in the day saying this it would be front page news from here until eternity. 

 As for Biden himself, I still don't think he is in good mental health. He always put his foot in his mouth throughout his career, but his gaffes are getting more and more frequent. The man is not well and I think it's possible that he will not be able to complete his four year term.
