Summary

President Joe Biden highlighted his administration’s economic record, citing consistent job growth and a 2.7% inflation rate drop from its 2022 peak.

December’s jobs report showed 256,000 new jobs and declining unemployment, signaling steady economic growth.

However, inflation remains above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, and interest rates remain high, impacting homebuyers and businesses.

Public pessimism lingers on affordability as Biden passes a largely strong economy to his successor, Donald Trump.

    Brother, your source backs up my claim, but hey, here’s another just in case. In the DOJ investigation related to Jan 6th (not the classified documents case), Trump was specifically NOT a target. The scope expanded in 2022 to also include DJT and his inner circle.

    Meaning, of course, that for the first two years of Biden’s presidency, they were not actively investigating Trump’s role in inciting the mob that attacked the capitol, or his deliberate inaction when the situation became out of control and capitol police could not stop the mob from breaking into the congressional chambers.

      Here is your claim:

      Trump was not a target of the DOJ investigation until *after* Jack Smith was brought on board

      Here is what even your sources states:

      the investigation had expanded to examine Donald Trump’s inner circle, with the Justice Department impaneling several federal grand juries to investigate to investigate the attempts to overturn the election. Later in 2022, a special counsel (Jack Smith) was appointed.

      Don’t you read your own sources?
