President Donald Trump has accomplished more in four years in Washington, D.C. than Biden has accomplished in 47 years. But don’t take our word for it, former president Barrack Obama makes the case for us. In a speech last week in Philadelphia, widely praised by the media as a “scathing takedown of Trump,” Obama didn’t name a single accomplishment of his former vice president. In 32 minutes, Obama couldn’t name a single Biden accomplishment. Not one. That is a scathing takedown of Biden, not Trump.
A side-by-side comparison of Trump vs. Biden makes it clear that Trump gets it right. Biden gets it wrong. Trump succeeds. Biden fails. Again. And Again. And Again.
