On the eve of when President Joe Biden is expected to announce he is running for reelection, former and potentially future President Joe Biden released a particularly long and damning statement about what the president has done in his slightly over two years in office so far.
"You could take the five worst presidents in American history, and put them together, and they would not have done the damage Joe Biden has done to our Nation in just a few short years. Not even close," Trump began his statement with.
Trump then listed off a host of specific issues and how Biden has handled them, or rather, mishandled them.
"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, which will be our greatest defeat in over 200 years. 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," Trump highlighted about Biden and the economy. "We have surrendered our energy independence, just like we surrendered in Afghanistan, which we had just a short time ago—and the price of gasoline just hit a 5-month high, and it’s going much higher than that," he wrote, also highlighting energy and foreign policy issues.
Trump goes on to devote nearly an entire paragraph to the border crisis, which also involves touting his own contrasting record. "Under my leadership, we had the most secure border in U.S. history, by far," Trump offered. "Never had a border like this. Under Biden, the Southern Border has been abolished—and millions of illegal aliens have been released into our communities. What’s happening now is beyond belief. They’re coming in from mental institutions and prisons. They are all being emptied. They are being dumped into the United States of America. Many of these people are very dangerous, they are being dumped. We are like a dumping ground," the statement continued.
"Our cities have been overrun with homelessness, drug addicts, and violent criminals, who are being released from jail in mass with no retribution whatsoever, while law enforcement is weaponized against law-abiding conservatives or Republicans, or people they just don’t like. Our children are being indoctrinated and mutilated by left-wing freaks and zealots. The senior ranks of our military have gone completely woke, and our military is suffering greatly," he writes still in that paragraph, airing his grievances about crime, the transgender movement targeting children, and how the military has been affected by wokeness.
That "law enforcement is weaponized against law-abiding conservatives or Republicans, or people they just don’t like" could sadly be referring to many groups of people, including parents at school board meetings who were falsely smeared as domestic terrorists, as well as pro-lifers who were arrested as their families looked on, traumatized.

Afghanistan is once again mentioned in the following paragraph, as are a host of Biden's other foreign policy failures. "Biden has totally humiliated our Nation on the world stage—starting with the Afghanistan disaster, perhaps the most embarrassing event in the history of our country. It meant so much to our enemies when they watched that horrible retreat. Russia is teaming up with China," Trump writes. "Iran is days away from a nuclear bomb—not even thinkable. Ukraine has been devastated by an invasion that would never, ever have happened if I was president—and Joe Biden has led us to the very brink of World War III. They say Trump was right about everything. Well, I’m not predicting World War III, but I will say this: we’re very close and they’re only talking about nuclear weapons."
While that part of the statement sounds so typically Trump when it comes to him applauding himself, polling from February of last year, after Ukraine was invaded does back up his point. A majority of registered voters believe that Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if Trump was in office.
His statement then references Biden's corruptness. "On top of it all, Biden is the most corrupt president in American history—and that’s not even close. Nobody can believe what’s going on, with again no retribution whatsoever."
It's worth noting, though, that some relief may come with Republicans back in control of the House, with Rep. James Comer (R-KY) in charge of the House Oversight Committee. He has been uncovering information about the Biden family on a regular basis, including but not merely Hunter Biden.

"With such a calamitous and failed presidency, it is almost inconceivable that Biden would even think of running for reelection," Trump's statement continues by mentioning. "You know what happened in the last election: they cheated, and they rigged the election. But I promise you this: when I stand on that debate stage and compare our records, it will be Radical Democrats’ worst nightmare because there’s never been a record as bad as they have, and our country has never been through so much. There has never been a greater contrast between two successive administrations in all of American history. Ours being greatness, and theirs being failure."
Trump's statement not only references his claims about the 2020 election results, but also goes deeper with the contrast of the two administrations, even more deeply setting up a rematch of the last presidential election.
The former and potentially future president closed his statement the same tone and tenor as he has done with many of his speeches for the past few years. "With your support in the election, we will defeat Joe Biden in 2024. We will rescue our economy. We will crush inflation. We will stop the invasion on our southern border. We will restore our Nation’s dignity. And we will prevent World War III from happening. Together, we will all Make America Great Again! Thank you."
According to polling averages from RealClearPolitics (RCP), Trump is leading the list of declared or potential Republican candidates by wide margins, with Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida--who has not yet declared--polling at a distant second. Polling from RCP also shows Trump ahead of Biden by +1.3.

About the five worst prexies not matching Brandon’s damage, Trump’s certainly right.
Until the past few years, nobody ever thought to turn the knob on American deliberate self-destruction up to eleven.
Well Trump is right.
Yeah, yeah sure. It should have been senile Sleepy Joe's "worst nightmare" during their 2020 debates! I distinctly recall the Biden/Trump Presidential debates in which elderly Sleepy Joe called U.S. President Trump a total "clown" to his face (in front of a huge global TV audience!). And President Trump just sat there and took it! He had no comeback. Unreal. Then Sleepy Joe called U.S. President Trump "so un-Presidential" to his face. Then, while President Trump was talking directly to Sleepy Joe and trying to ask him about what he would do about such-and-such, Sleepy Joe totally ignored him and instead looked into the camera and repetitively said, over and over again, "Voters, you're in voting now, Vote! Vote! Vote! You're in voting ... Vote! Vote! ..." (That was a sneaky way of implying to voters, Hey if you don't want that "clown" over there to get another 4 years, Vote for me now! And believe me, Sleepy Joe's political advisors had totally planned out everything senile Sleepy Joe said during the debates, just like all his speeches are totally written out for him on teleprompters - without them, senile Sleepy Joe would be totally lost.)
President Trump should have very, very easily walked all over senile Sleepy Joe during those debates. Sure, President Trump got in a bunch of great points but he should have totally wiped the floor with senile Sleepy Joe. Senile Sleepy Joe got under President Trump's skin several times and President Trump tried to ask Sleepy Joe another question about what he would do, but Sleepy Joe glared at President Trump and said "Keep yappin', man, keep yappin' ..." (Sleepy Joe even used his hand to mimic someone yapping.) Then senile Sleepy Joe said something like, You can bully other people but don't even think about trying to bully me because you've just run into the Wrong Guy at the Wrong Time!" (senile Sleepy Joe said with a smirk on his face). Again, President Trump had no comeback to a senile Sleepy Joe almost 80 years old. Amazing. All of that had the effect of making senile Sleepy Joe somehow seem like a potential tough President (which he's not -- he's the worst ever). But too late, we're stuck with him.
I don't completely blame President Trump for his unpreparedness in debating Sleepy Sen. Joe Biden (who was a do-nothing Senator for almost five decades). But President Trump should have known, and more importantly, his huge team of so-called "political advisors" (are you awake Jared & Ivanka?) should have warned President Trump that Sleepy Joe was a fast-talking do-nothing Senator for almost five decades. He also was in multiple U.S Vice Presidential debates. Although do-nothing Biden never actually accomplished anything, he did know how to continuously yap in debates. That's all do-nothing U.S. Senators do - yap all day and all night. Sleepy Joe also somehow managed to heckle President Trump and actually accused President Trump of mindlessly "yapping" during their debates. Unbelievable. Again, where were President Trump's supposed "political advisors" Jared & Ivanka?
Frankly, after what I saw in 2020, I have no faith that President Trump and his team of Republican so-called "political advisors" will have him prepared to debate the life-long yapping Democrat Washington insider politician (and liberal lawyer) Biden. To use President Trump's favorite word, that's Sad.
Senile Sleepy Joe's debate tactics didn't sway you or me but they must have fooled a lot of unthinking voters. And that was the Democrats' goal all along heading into those debates.
Nice to see Trump going after Biden instead of fellow conservatives.
OOPS!
Well, I’m sure Biden is quaking in his Depends. /s
Becky needs an editor.
One even got to the White House!
He spoke the PLAIN TRUTH. And there was NOTHING “savage” about it.
Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden meet the conventional definition of “old”, in that that both are well beyond the usual age of retirement, but Biden is rapidly crumbling to senility, while Trump will remain sharp and incisive to his final breath.
Jeff Dunham is a ventriloquist who actually is arguing with himself, through one of his characters, Walter. For whatever reason, Walter closely resembles Joe Biden, almost a caricature, but most of the time makes vastly more sense. And yet, Walter gets compared to Trump, a curious phenomenon, just because he DOES make more sense.
me but they must have fooled a lot of unthinking voters
WOW!! Fooled unthinking voters? Good Lord.
The man was losing and losing bad. And then out of nowhere….BAMMM…he wins
I’m thinking maybe you should Texas AG Paxton and ask him how they determined that there was a 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000 chance that Uncle Joe could have won Pa. I’d be interested in what he has to say
Trump's right. Plus the American people are sick of WOKE commie 'elites' running the Presidency behind the old man's back.
I only have two words to say — made in America. Bwahaha.
“Senile Sleepy Joe’s debate tactics didn’t sway you or me but they must have fooled a lot of unthinking voters”
Trump continuously had tens of thousands show up at his rallies. He was easily the most popular president ever in terms of voters who showed up to vote for him a second time.
Biden campaigned from his basement. Biden persuaded nobody.
The debates were staged to get Trump to follow his usual pattern of harsh criticism. The media was waiting like vultures to pounce. He didn’t give them anything to pounce on.
If you believe the debates gave any advantage to Biden you are very gullible and naive.
Yup, it’s about time.
Democrats are constantly politically kicking the Republicans’ butts and “winning” elections they should clearly lose and yet all Republican politicians are totally ineffective in doing anything about it. Why is it that Democrats are getting one political win after another and the Washington Republicans continue sitting on their hands? Fox News now has to pay Dominion Voting Systems $3/4 Billion in a gigantic settlement regarding the 2020 Presidential Election. President Trump was arrested and indicted on 34 felony criminal charges and must appear for his upcoming felony criminal hearing in December (in the middle of the Presidential Election season). Fox News fires Tucker Carlson. President Trump’s personal attorney tossed in jail. It’s just one thing after another. When will Republican so-called “leaders” ever wake up and get off their hands and finally do something? Yes, Democrats are damaging the country but Republicans get blame, too, for doing little or nothing about it. I’m basically fed up with do-nothing Republican politicians.
