Former President Donald Trump slammed President Joe Biden’s Monday night speech at the Democratic National Convention, saying Biden appeared “angry” and spoke “lies.”
Trump made the comments alongside a short clip he posted of Biden’s address on Truth Social on Tuesday, highlighting a segment where the president had trouble saying the word “electoral.” Biden, 81, didn’t take the DNC stage until after 11:00 p.m. ET after the night’s events went longer than organizers anticipated. Throughout the speech, Biden exaggerated and made false statements on the economy, inflation, and the border while attacking Trump.
“An angry and ranting Speech full of LIES, Biden took credit for everything done during the Trump Administration, even continuing to say that he was better on Inflation and Jobs,” the Republican nominee wrote in response. “He never mentioned the Afghanistan Disaster and all the Wars he got us into, or the fact that far more people died from COVID during the Biden years than the Trump years. The Jobs Biden/Harris ‘created’ were almost 100% from Illegal Aliens pouring into our Country, which are destroying the lives of our Black and Hispanic population!”
During the speech, Biden said his administration has overseen “one of the most extraordinary four years of progress ever,” adding, “We got from economic crisis to the strongest economy in the entire world. A record 16 million new jobs, record small business growth, record-high stock market, record-high 401ks, wages up, and inflation down and continuing to go down.”
In a different social media post, Trump shot back at Biden’s claims on the economy and said the Democrat “did terribly on jobs.”
“Most new jobs under Biden went to illegal immigrants. Additionally, he got what is known as Covid Bounce-back jobs, standard for all countries after a pandemic,” Trump wrote. “He did terribly on jobs, and everything else!”
The 16 million jobs figure cited by Biden is skewed as many of those jobs came back naturally when businesses re-opened after the COVID lockdowns were lifted. Currently, the civilian unemployment rate under Biden is higher than what it was under Trump in the month before COVID hit the U.S.
Like most of the DNC’s speakers on Monday night, Biden’s speech primarily focused on attacking Trump. “Think of the message he sends around the world,” Biden told Democrats. “He talks about America being a failing nation. He says we’re losing. He’s the loser. He’s dead wrong.”
Biden also sought to blame Trump and Republicans for the record number of illegal border crossings that have occurred under the Biden-Harris administration.
“The result of the executive action I took, border encounters have dropped over 50%. In fact, there are fewer border crossings today than when Donald Trump left office,” he said.
In reality, border apprehensions and encounters hit all-time highs with Biden in office.
