Summary

President Joe Biden touted his administration’s economic recovery efforts, citing job growth, reduced inflation, and infrastructure investments, as he prepares to hand off a strong economy to Donald Trump.

Biden criticized Trump’s proposed steep tariffs on imports, warning they could harm the economy and reintroduce inflation.

Trump plans tariffs against China, Mexico, and Canada, raising concerns about trade disruptions similar to those seen during his first term.

Economists caution that such policies could quickly reverse recent economic gains and weaken the U.S. economy.

    The “will of the people” was Joe Biden, who won the Democratic primary quite handily. However, the Joe Biden people thought they were voting for wasn’t the Joe Biden we actually had, as there was a very deliberate effort to hide his declining health by the party leadership. Hence the whole reason they had to change candidates, once it became too obvious that Biden wasn’t fit to serve another term as president.

    So while the Democratic party still followed their processes and guidelines by ultimately putting forth Kamala Harris as their candidate, it’s not like they had to do it because Biden withdrew due to some freak accident or something like that. You can’t really sanction what they did when the whole thing is rooted in the party leadership deliberately deceiving people.
