Biden Criticizes Trump in Labor Day Address
During his Labor Day speech in Philadelphia, President Joe Biden indirectly criticized former President Donald Trump’s record on jobs, pensions, and infrastructure. He stated that Trump “didn’t build a damn thing” during his administration and highlighted the decline of the US infrastructure ranking. The Trump campaign responded, accusing Biden of destroying American jobs and contributing to inflation. They emphasized Trump’s accomplishments in tax relief, job creation, and economic recovery. Biden also mentioned job creation during his administration and job loss during Trump’s, but did not acknowledge the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and government lockdowns. Additionally, Biden mentioned Herbert Hoover, the only other president to leave office with fewer jobs than when he started, as a comparison to Trump.
