Today I’m pleased to share the thoughts of one of our readers who, in response to a friend who is rabidly anti-Trump, outlined the contrast between the two (quoted verbatim and in full with Editor’s additional notes italicized):
“I prefer “You are what you do, not what you say” so this is an abbreviated list of what Trump and Biden have done in public life:
Trump in 48 months:
- Seated 150+ conservative judges as well as 2 and probably 3 Supreme Court Justices who are devotedly pro-life (Editor’s note: and adherents of the Constitution as written, not as the Left would like it to “evolve”.)
- Best economy pre-covid, especially for blacks, Hispanics and women (Editor’s note: historically greater gains for low income earners than the wealthy)
- Passed “Right to try” legislation for terminal patients
- Passed tax reform (Editor’s note: directly impacting middle income families and causing economic growth to soar compared to anemic recovery under Obama/Biden.)
- Criminal justice reform and enterprise zones and financial assistance to black colleges
- Defeated ISIS (Editor’s note: killed its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi)
- (Editor’s note: killed the most dangerous terrorist in the world, Iran’s Qasem Soleimani)
- Brokered a peace accord in the Middle East which continues to expand
- Moved US embassy to Jerusalem
- (Editor’s note: removed us from the absurd and dangerous Iran Nuclear Deal)
- (Editor’s note: removed us from the extremely unfavorable Trans Pacific Partnership)
- (Editor’s note: removed us from the ridiculous and punitive Paris Climate Accord)
- Enhanced veterans benefits and strengthened the VA
- Rebuilt our military (decimated by 8 years of Obama/Biden)
- Created Space Force, the new arm of the military
- Signed trade deals with Mex./Can, Korea, China, Japan
- Protected our border from ILLEGAL immigration
- Created operation warp speed to bring vaccines/therapeutics to treat covid to market as quickly as possible.
- Donated Presidential salary to charity
- (Editor’s note: achieved U.S. energy independence with attendant benefits for ALL Americans)
(Editor’s note: and accomplished all of the above while under direct and vicious serial attacks by the Left.)
Biden in 47 years
- Wrong on every foreign policy decision as VP (per Gates the Sec of DOD during his tenure) (Editor’s note: including opposing going after Bin Laden)
- Started the partisan rancor over supreme court nominees with his trashing of Robert Bork
- Sponsored the most discriminatory crime bills in history
- Chose the most liberal senator (even left of Bernie Sanders) as a running mate
- Gives cover to Antifa and BLM, left wing anarchist organizations
- Sets his son up for influence peddling with Ukraine, China and Russia while responsible for relations with these countries and taking a cut of it
- (Editor’s note: has flip-flopped for political expediency on the single most critical component of U.S. energy independence: fracking)
Not much positive to add here.
The democratic party is not the party you knew 20 years ago and has only gotten worse. Remember Ronald Reagan’s famous line “I didn’t leave the democratic party, it left me”. It’s done the same to lots of former democrats.
So on the merits I’ll take a man of action (albeit one who should keep his mouth shut more often). This country can’t afford any further slide to socialism.”
(Editor’s note: Thank you Bob! I’ll add that if ever there were a case of words versus action on display, Trump vs. Biden is it! Biden has run his mouth off for years and years promising everything and accomplishing little to nothing. Trump has run his mouth off for four years, accomplishing much more than he promised, all of it beneficial for the entire nation!)
