1. If Biden were President
Tue Feb 24, 2026, 08:29 AM

If Joe Biden were President right now, the media would be holding a vigil in front of the White House 24/7 covering the mob of people calling for him to resign over the economy.

Trump inherited a booming economy that was beginning to reverse the haves and the have nots. He completely destroyed the job market, which Joe Biden made into the greatest in history and was responsible for working people actually seeing significant real income gains for the first time in generations. GDP growth is lower. And the stock market he brags about actually saw below average returns compared to the previous 30 years. DOW up 9.2% in 13 months, 30 year average is 10.4% per year. So the one thing they keep pointing to isn't even really a positive.

Trump and his pointless trade war and his anti worker policies have destroyed the booming Biden economy. It never got covered and even a lot of DUers are unaware of the miracle economy Biden created. Biden's economy actually reversed the paradigm that I have lived my who life with, that "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer." That literally reversed under Joe Biden where the bottom 20%, and the bottom 50% saw more income gains than the top 10%. It was a literal miracle and no one reported on it because of inflation that was the result of Covid and was totally out of Biden's control.
