Biden is awarded a Bottomless Pinocchio for statements regarding his relationship with Chinese President Xi.

A Bottomless Pinocchio is significant because it means a statement has been rated as a 3- or greater Pinocchio statement and the person in question continues to repeat it at least 20 times.

So, in this case, Biden has made a claim, it was shown to be unverifiable,
and he has kept repeating it at multiple high-profile speeches, even after
the White House also admitted it was not accurate. At least 21 times by
the Washington Post's count last week.

After the White House admission, Biden doubled-down by increasing the "distance" of the lie, from 17,000 travel miles to "17-18,000," for the
21st repetition.

There are some other "errors of fact" are interesting and are ones that have either been repeated by Biden or his supporters since he said them. The one where he takes credit for Social Security checks going up is very telling... for it to be true, he also has to be taking credit for the rate of inflation. The checks are inflation adjusted BY LAW and will go up 8.7% because inflation has "soared" to that level.

Even more interesting is that, after Biden made the Social Security claim, the White House Twitter account made a very similar, and equally misleading, claim that this increase was due to "President Biden's leadership..." That Tweet was later deleted after Twitter flagged it (fact-checked it) for "lacking context."

Depending on how you look at it, the tweet may also be true, but not for any reason to brag about.
