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.

    Or what? What are we going to do about it if they field another pro-corporate candidate?

      The same thing people did this time – vote Republican or stay home. I think the outcome of the latest election makes it clear how ineffective the democrats are. By a lot of metrics, Donald Trump was not that successful of a presidency, and despite that, the democrats were not able to field anyone that could defeat him.
