Summary

President Joe Biden touted his administration’s economic recovery efforts, citing job growth, reduced inflation, and infrastructure investments, as he prepares to hand off a strong economy to Donald Trump.

Biden criticized Trump’s proposed steep tariffs on imports, warning they could harm the economy and reintroduce inflation.

Trump plans tariffs against China, Mexico, and Canada, raising concerns about trade disruptions similar to those seen during his first term.

Economists caution that such policies could quickly reverse recent economic gains and weaken the U.S. economy.

    facts. all their candidates suck. Kamala Harris was an embarrassment and the people who still support her after such a catastrophic failure are the exact reason she lost: echo chamber. out of touch with reality. delusional.

      This is a false equivalency. Harris wouldn’t send migrants to concentration camps. She wouldn’t attack our allies. She wouldn’t cut social security and VA benefits. Instead she wanted to help normal people like you and me.

      Trump constantly praises dictators such as Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-Un and has a history of sexually assaulting people.

        She said she wanted to help “normal people”… yet she didn’t list a single useful policy prescription. In fact, when asked if she would do anything differently, she said she wouldn’t change anything from what Biden did… despite Biden NOT helping normal people like you and me.

      Honestly I liked her. I thought she’d make good decisions on the hot seat. But I think she let her advisors push her to the right, into a milquetoast corporate campaign. And that’s what killed it.
