The Biden campaign fiercely denounced Donald Trump following his caustic remarks aimed at immigrants Saturday, saying the former president “parroted Hitler.”
“Tonight Donald Trump channeled his role models as he parroted Adolf Hitler, praised Kim Jong Un, and quoted Vladimir Putin while running for president on a promise to rule as a dictator and threaten American democracy,” Biden-Harris 2024 spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement.
Trump on Saturday ratcheted up his already inflammatory rhetoric on immigrants at a rally in New Hampshire. “They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” the former president said. “They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world. Not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia.”
Feels don’t beat actual numbers. The economy is bouncing back strong from the pandemic. As another comment said, everyone is hiring. They haven’t all (yet) broken and increased wages enough to bring in enough talent but it’s slowly getting there. It’s been a few years now since wmt, tgt and others increased starting to like $15/hour. That’s not enough to retire on but it’s a start.
We also have the waves of unions going on strike. This will definitely have a negative impact on the economy (short lived) but then the higher wages these strikes make happen will be part of the next economic boom over the next decade or so. At least that’s what I see happening and hope I’m right about.
There is a place for nuanced discussions but letting feelings guide you is not the way forward and neither is letting perfect be the enemy of good.
