A comparison of Biden, Trump

2 min read

Did we have a tariff war when Joe Biden was president? No.

Did Biden have good relations with neighboring countries and allies? Yes.

Does President Donald Trump have these same good relations with other countries? No.

What was Trump's answer when he was told that his tariffs might cause a recession? "I don't care." In other words, he doesn't care if you lose your job, your savings, your home, etc.

Who elected Elon Musk to do Congress's job? No one.

Trump states he's trying to find fraud and to save the government money. So, how much has his golf outings cost the taxpayers since January? $26 million.

When Biden was president, who ran the military? Experienced generals. Who is running our military now? A former Fox newscaster, Pete Hegseth, who has been accused of sexual misconduct and excessive drinking on the job. Recently, he shared classified military information to a magazine reporter.

For those on Social Security, do you feel comfortable with Trump and Musk getting your private information, calling Social Security a Ponzi scheme and threatening your benefits? Probably not.

Have you heard from our local legislators, John Joyce and Glenn Thompson, disagreeing with Trump's destruction of the economy and our democracy? No and No.

Do you feel that Trump has empathy toward veterans? No. Trump called many veterans suckers and losers. And now, he's threatening veterans' jobs and benefits.

If you can, save this list for the next time you vote.
