Biden's Economic Policies Have Reduced Inflation SHARE
... while creating 15.6 million jobs
and 57,000 projects to repair aging infrastructure; returning or increasing
manufacturing in 600 US towns; and lowering the violent crime rate. It’s raised
the national debt by half of what it’s rising because of Trump. He will eliminate
Trump’s tax breaks for those making more than $400,000 a year. Biden’s 57,000
rebuilding projects are accomplishing what Trump could not. So, contrary to
Trump’s repeated fib claiming Biden is “destroying America,” Biden is actually Making
America Great Again—not Trump.

to it.
Trump's self-serving Foundation actions come to light. SHARE
Trump
got people (several of whom won't talk about it) to give money to the Trump
Foundation, which then distributed it and Trump took personal credit for the
donation. (cc) Donald put none of his own money into the Foundation after 2008,
claimed contributions that were not made, and made illegal expenditures to
benefit himself from the Foundation.
"Twenty-Plus Errors, Fabrications, And Distortions In Peter Schweizer's Clinton Cash;" SHARE
