Biden Bashes 'Real Estate Developer' Trump For Not Building 'A Damn Thing'

President Joe Biden slammed former President Donald Trump for not building “a damn thing” during his presidency.

Biden’s handling of the economy is one concern many voters have as they consider whom to pick on the ballot next year. In a Labor Day speech on Monday to Sheet Metal Workers’ Local 19 in his native state of Pennsylvania, Biden sought to address that concern as he compared his presidency to Trump’s, referring to him multiple times as the “last guy.”

“Guess what? The great real estate builder, the last guy, he didn’t build a damn thing. Under my predecessor, infrastructure week became a punchline. On my watch, infrastructure has been a decade, and it’s a headline.”

(In November 2021, Biden signed a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure deal into law that funds projects for years to come.)

Without mentioning Trump by name, Biden has previously taken a jab at his predecessor for not building infrastructure.

“How many times have we heard, ‘This is Infrastructure Week,’ over the last four years?” Biden said in April 2021. “About every second week is ‘Infrastructure Week,’ but no infrastructure was built.”

Finally! Keep it up, Joe!

enough to put his putrid name on the front of some properties and other assssets (steaks, vodka, university, whatever.)

And everything that his name was on - rotted.
