Joe Biden announced his 2024 re-election bid in a video early this morning. I guess with a dementia patient, it’s better to have video you can edit or redo several times instead of attempting an in-person announcement for which Democrats would have to find people who actually want to attend. “Let’s finish the job,” the announcement said, which seems more like a threat than a slogan. Former President Donald Trump responded with a strong condemnation of Biden’s failed presidency.
Trump continued to list Biden’s economic failures. ”Real wages have been falling 24 months in a row. In other words, under Biden, workers have gotten a pay cut each and every month for two straight years.” That is, increases in wages have not kept up with inflation, meaning that even workers who are making more money can afford to buy less.
It is notable that, whereas Biden’s video was vague and aspirational and didn’t cite any specific accomplishments (what accomplishments are there to cite?) or policy goals, Trump’s video has a list of Biden’s many failures along with specific and measurable promises. Regardless of Trump’s mistakes or failures in the past, his video made a much stronger case than Biden’s did. Not that it’s hard to outdo one of the least popular presidents in recent history.
”You could take the five worst presidents in American history, and put them together, and they would not have done the damage that Joe Biden has done to our nation in just a few short years, not even close,” Trump began. “Thanks to Joe Biden’s socialist spending calamity, American families are being decimated by the worst inflation in half a century. Banks are failing, our currency is crashing, and the dollar will soon no longer be the world standard [currency] ”

all true.....yet somehow he thinks DeSantis is the problem...
Another day of pointing out the obvious.
Heard a speculative comment yesterday. branDUHn gets the nod, no mention of carmela ‘fweedumb’ hawiss so grabem gruesome gets the vp nod. Before actual (s)election day, branDUHn bows out due to health issues and grabem uses the tried and true sympathy line of “Let’s win this for Joe!”. 100 million votes for the democommies. Stick a fork in us! 😵💫
Would have been nice if he’d spent the last two years working at the state level to reform election laws.
This is feeling more and more like a vanity campaign.
Selling the destruction of America, her freedoms and prosperity, as though this is something to be desired.....
It is worse than Pharaoh not getting the message, even after the 10 plagues.
Joe and his supporters are blind to the truth, no matter the consequence.
The corrupt pervert clown king phoned it in. Most popularly elected president in US history.
More popular than JFK.
And as usual Trump is correct
But “Orange Man bad”
Precisely
Oh so you want Trump to do YOUR job too?
Good question.
