'Freudian slip?' RNC chair says America is better off under Biden than Trump

The Republican National Committee's new chair Friday gave a resounding "No" to a question he asked himself on nationally broadcast television: Was the nation better off under former President Donald Trump?

Whoops.

Michael Whatley appeared on Fox News to promote the presumptive Republican nominee and the RNC's co-chair Lara Trump's father-in-law in his bid to reclaim the White House in 2024.

MAGA Republicans such as the RNC co-chair and Rep. Elise Stefanik recently have taken to asking Americans this favorite question of former President Ronald Reagan's, despite the many reminders they've received that four years ago the nation was in the middle of a global pandemic that would claim more than 1 million lives.

But while Stefanik and Lara Trump answered no to the question if Americans were better off today than four years ago, Whatley swapped his question around — with results catastrophic to his sound bite.

"At the end of the day, this comes down to a very simple contrast between President Trump and President Biden," Whatley said Friday. "Were you better off four years ago than you are today? The answer for this entire country is no."

He then tried to correct himself, but again stumbled: "I mean, yeah, we are better off today."

Viewers who saw the video on X agreed.

"Did anyone catch the slip here?" asked Rubberband Girl. "The Biden team should make this an ad. LOL."

"Freudian slip?" suggested Carrie Sweet. "But I agree. I wasn't better off four years ago than I am today."

"Run this in an ad on a loop in every swing state split screen with what was happening in March of 2020," suggested @KathMandu513. "Thanks Mr. Chairman!"
