President Joe Biden's strange anecdote about reaching 1.5 million miles on Amtrak has come under scrutiny after key inconsistencies emerged that make it impossible to have occurred as he told it. On Friday, delivering a speech in Philadelphia commemorating the 50th anniversary of Amtrak, Biden launched into the tale of a certain conductor congratulating him on reaching the milestone as he traveled to visit his sick mother. Biden said the incident occurred in his 'fourth or fifth year as vice president', or around 2014-2015, at which time the conductor he named had been retired for 20 years and his mother had passed away,

He just makes up stories, or tells a real story with a 20X increase. Visited his Mom three times, probably, and in his mind made that into a 1000 times. Flips off a guy at the pool and doesn't get beat up....and the Corn Pop chain fight fantasy is invented.
A legend in his own mind. The only two things that he is really good at are lying and stupidity.

I wonder if an American newspaper will pick up this story.

In this instance, he is not actually lying, strictly speaking. Elderly sufferers from senile dementia (early manifestation of Alzheimer's spectrum) frequently have reveries in which they conflate past events that have no temporal connection, or with imagined embellishments of real memories. Combined with Biden's well-documented difficulties verbalizing it is clear this man suffers from serious mental problems, yet he is allegedly sufficiently compos mentis to discharge the responsibilities of the Executive Office. God help us.

#7 is correct. Some dementia patients are fabulists. They lie, but believe their own lies.If Biden were subjected to a polygraph exam, and asked about the Amtrak story, he would pas the test.
We could call it the George Costanza effect.

I doubt that this is due to his dementia. He’s been doing this his entire career. A lot like Hillary’s made up stories, AOC weeping at a border fence that overlooked an empty parking lot, etc. Democrats freely use outright fiction to glorify themselves. It’s one of their many loveable traits.

Old Joe is full of these malarkey stories. In 2008 he claimed to be a frequent diner at Katie's Restaurant in Delaware. The place had become seedy long ago and closed down permanently in the early 1990s. That's our lovable Old Joe!

Back in the 90’s someone said this about Bill Clinton but it also applies to Xiden. (And every demonrat in a position of power)
He would climb a tree to tell a lie when it would be easier and more beneficial to stay on the ground and tell the truth.

If you can stand to listen closely to Biden these days you will find that he fires out bogus and misleading anecdotes and outright lies on almost every issue. Having been a corrupt liberal Democrat lawyer-politician for over 34 years in the US Senate, and 8 years as Obama’s Vice-President Biden has had a lot of practice doing that.
One of Biden’s latest dishonest stories is that less than one percent of high income taxpayers “who do not pay their fair share” but are fine people otherwise will merrily pay whatever increased taxes that Biden asks them to pay. What Biden never mentions is that those otherwise fine people have the wherewithal to hire the best lobbyists, accountants, tax lawyers, and to payoff corrupt politicians through campaign donations and other graft, to ensure that they end up paying the least amount of taxes possible and in reality are not about to step forward and pay for all of Biden’s proposed massive social and spending programs. When common sense and the history of Democrat tax increases will tell you that just as in the past, the actual taxpayers who are really going to have to pay the taxes to fund those socialist Democrat programs are members of the vast Middle Class, who are also known to the leftist and liberal Democrats as comprising most of the Republican “deplorable” voter base. So what will the wimpy Congressional Republicans actually do when those Democrat bills land on their congressional desks?
