Joe Biden Storms Pittsburgh And Hits Trump Right Between the Eyes

https://www.politicususa.com/2019/04/29/joe-biden-storms-pittsburgh-and-wrecks-trumps-fake-great-economy.html

"SNIP....

At his first rally in Pittsburgh, PA, former vice president Joe Biden went after Trump’s economic record and talked to the people who are being left behind.

Biden went after Trump on the economy

Biden said, “The stock market is roaring, but did you feel it? There was $2 trillion tax cut last year, did you feel it? Did you get anything from it? Of course, not. Of course, not. All of it went to the folks at the top and corporations that pay no taxes. The number of corporations that pay no taxes now has doubled since that tax cut. Look, guys, this is not good. What’s happened here has happened for a lot of different reasons. But for me one of them stands the basic bargain that used to exist, the Republicans and Democrats used to agree to has been broken. You contribute to the enterprise that you work for, you got to share in the benefits and the profits. If the enterprise had a hard time, everyone took a hit. But that bargain has broken. Now the only people benefitting when a company does well are the CEOs and shareholders. The people at the top. And the only people that get hurt when the company has hard times is the workers. It’s a one-way street.”

.....SNIP"

that he's hitting the right notes. Trump will consistently be perceived as a pathetic deranged fool who keeps saying the same b.s. over and over. A one trick pony with no second act! His so-called rallys are a perfect example. Likin Joe!

He sounded just like Jim Jones who killed over 900 people with koolaide. Trump had that same cadence, it was chilling.
