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.

    There’s value in good representation, but it’s just not going to help us win elections so it’s moot.

    The most ethical, constitutional, kind of loving candidate in the world is worth jack shit if they can’t win an election.

      Sorry, I would not prefer an unethical, unconstitutional, unloving candidate to win. Actually, I think that’s exactly what we did get.
