Biden administration's policies compared to Trump's
The Biden administration's approach includes unlocking six billion dollars in funding related to Iran, which is noted as the largest global funder of terrorism, contrasting sharply with Trump's imposition of sanctions that allegedly cost Iran over a trillion dollars. The discussion highlights that while Trump negotiated the Abraham Accords, marking a historic shift towards peace in the Middle East, Biden's insistence on funding foreign wars is critiqued. Regarding healthcare, the Biden administration is accused of reversing Trump’s $35 insulin copay policy, only to reintroduce a similar policy later while claiming credit for it. Economic measures are examined, revealing that middle class salaries purportedly increased by $4,000 under Trump, but declined by about $4,200 during the Biden-Harris administration. The border crisis is delineated, pointing to an increase in unaccompanied minors and rising crime rates, which are suggested to have worsened under Biden’s governance. Trump's tenure is described as divisive through aggressive political rhetoric, while Biden's proposed tax policies are framed as detrimental, intending to raise corporate taxes to the highest in the industrialized world and increase capital gains taxes significantly affecting American retirement portfolios. The stark contrast in abortion policies is discussed, critiquing the permissive approach taken by Minnesota's leadership compared to Trump's positions.
