Robert Kiyosaki Of 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' Says, 'The Only Thing Coming Down In Price Is Fentanyl' And Compares Biden To A Drug Dealer

“Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki voiced strong criticism of economic policies under President Joe Biden's economic policies, calling the term Bidenomics a joke in an April 8 post on X. 

Kiyosaki, known for his financial advice and warnings about impending economic downturns, did not hold back in his critique. He stated, “BIDENOMICS is a joke. INFLATION eating American families alive. The only product coming down in price is FENTANYL. Thank you, Mr. President. When I was a kid we called people like you ‘Pusher Man’ not ‘President.'”

Kiyosaki has warned of a looming recession and the devaluation of the dollar, advising people to invest in gold, silver and Bitcoin. He attributes his wealth to being $1.2 billion in debt, using this leverage to acquire assets that generate income, such as his ownership of 12,000 properties. His perspective on the economy and investment strategies has made him a controversial figure, praised by some for his bold strategies while criticized by others for his sometimes alarmist views.
