Trial Balloon · Ep. 190: Trump Is Everywhere

Biden Gets Done What Trump Could Not

November 8, 2021 · 7:40 am ET · Leave a Comment

“President Biden entered office determined to rip to shreds most everything that his predecessor put in place. His advisers kept lists of President Donald Trump’s policies and how they could immediately and methodically undo as many of them as possible, and on his first day in office, he did just that,” the Washington Post reports.

“But there were also subtle areas of overlap, and over the past three months, Biden has demonstrated a willingness, and ability, to carry out some of the policies Trump could not.”

“First, he withdrew from Afghanistan, a chaotic and messy culmination of a two-decades-long war. He has pressed for the paid family leave benefits and prescription drug changes that Trump called for but never managed to implement.“

“And on Saturday, Biden beamed at his biggest legislative accomplishment, one that Trump had chased but never achieved.”
