- Joe Biden gave a great energized State of the Union speech a few days ago. It should put to rest the false idea that Biden is too old to be president. It is now clear who are the presidential candidates running in the election in November 2024. Biden’s mind is still sharp. Joe is comfortable sparring with MAGA hecklers like Marjorie Taylor Greene and showing how silly she is. Joe has made significant accomplishments during his first term in office as president, including high employment and a good economy (the S & P 500 reported a 26.1% one year growth in US stocks in 2023 and a 91.9% growth in 5 years at the end of 2023).
- When Trump was in office, he tried to sweep the COVID pandemic under the rug by discouraging immunization which aggravated the problem and resulted in a bad economy as well as exposing the American people to disease and in some cases death. Trump was an incompetent president when he was in office, and when he was defeated by the votes of the American people, he thought he might remain in office by his infamous phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger to “find” more votes for Trump. When the election was over and Biden won, Trump encouraged his goons to violently attack the American Capitol to create a stupid failed insurrection against America. Trump opposes America’s allies and defends Vladimir Putin and his war against America’s ally Ukraine. He has pressured the thin majority of Republicans in the House of Representatives to deny aid to our ally Ukraine which is fighting our battle. Trump never says anything bad about America’s enemy Putin. Donald, what are you afraid of? What hold does Putin have on you? Did his intelligence service (KGB now with a different name) get you elected by attacking social media in your favor? Do you owe money to Putin? If Trump gets elected again with the help of Putin’s cyberspies and by gerrymandering America’s election, that could be the end of American democracy. You just have to listen to Trump’s rants to realize the harm he can do.
