Trump Has a Bad Case of Biden on the Brain
Is there anyone who is still as obsessed with Joe Biden as Donald Trump? A year after the Democratic President was pushed out of his relection campaign by his own party, Trump hardly lets a day go by without bashing his predecessor. This week alone, he claimed that Biden was personally to blame for Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, or, as he calls it, Biden's war; that Biden was responsible for Jerome Powell, the Trump-installed chairman of the Federal Reserve who has since become another of his frequent targets; and that Biden's incapacity while in office was the biggest scandal in the history of the country. He also boasted of having ended Biden's war on clean, beautiful Pennsylvania coal, and insisted that the United States had the worst inflation in history under Biden - a favorite attack of his - though it is nowhere close to being true.
