Biden vs. Trump
Here are the drawbacks to voting for these two candidates. As for people who think Biden’s age is a drawback, look at what he’s accomplished as president — and imagine what he could accomplish with a Democratic majority in the Senate and House.
Thanks to Keith Olbermann for helping me remember some of these.
| Biden | Trump |
| Supported Israel’s war on Gaza | Led an attempted insurrection against the US government, leading to 7 dead and many injured and his own vice president coming dangerously close to being hanged |
| Lied over and over about how the 2020 election was stolen | |
| Sexually assaulted at least one woman | |
| Defamed the woman he sexually assaulted, over and over until he was fined $83 million | |
| Stole classified documents from the White House and refused to give them back | |
| Revealed classified information to at least one foreign individual | |
| Encouraged people not to wear masks during the pandemic, leading to hundreds of thousands of more deaths in the US than otherwise would have occurred | |
| He and his team, failing to wear masks, spread Covid-19 wherever they went — Herman Cain died from it | |
| Waits until he sees the reaction to what he says and then decides whether to claim he was joking | |
| Headed a company that was so fraudulent his business license was taken away in New York and he was fined $354 million | |
| Shouldn’t even be on the ballot because if you read the 14th amendment it says you can’t be on the ballot if you supported an insurrection | |
| Scammed his followers out of millions by telling them he was investigating fraud in the 2020 election | |
| Historians ranked him 45th out of 45 presidents of the US | |
| Claimed that he had a health care plan when he didn’t | |
| Ordered transgendered people out of the military | |
| Violently disapproved of football players taking a knee | |
| Threatened to defund sanctuary cities | |
| Called the news media the enemy of the people | |
| Insisted a hurricane would hit a certain state when it wasn’t going to, and defaced an official map with a marker | |
| Blamed wildfires on not enough raking of the forest | |
| Ignored the Emoluments Clause, allowing himself and his business to benefit monetarily from his position as president | |
| Looked at the sun during a solar eclipse | |
| Claimed Obama was not born in the US | |
| Stated he couldn’t release his tax returns because he was being audited, which was a lie | |
| Threatened to nuke North Korea and Iran, on Twitter | |
| Revealed classified information to Russian individuals when no one else was in the room | |
| Talked privately to Putin, an enemy of democracy, a bunch of times | |
| Boasted about acing a test, even though that test is only given to people who might have dementia | |
| Sided with Russia when it was found that Russia interfered in the US election | |
| Lied about the Wall that he wanted to build between US and Mexico | |
| Attempted to deport Dreamers, people who were born in the US to undocumented parents | |
| Pulled out of the Paris Climate Change Agreement, which had 195 countries in it | |
| Attempted to withhold money to Ukraine until they did him a political favour | |
| Allowed people in his administration to use private email servers, even though he only won the election because Hillary Clinton did that and people were upset about it | |
| Insulted the memories of soldiers killed in battle | |
| Insulted and threatened protestors, for example the people protesting the murder of George Flloyd | |
| Sabotaged the US post office in an effort to reduce the number of mail-in ballots which favour Democrats | |
| Accused various Democratic politicians of treason, with no evidence | |
| Refused to say that he would accept the outcome of the 2016 election and the 2020 election | |
| Appointed justices to the Supreme Court who were not worthy, who lied during their hearings | |
| Got his Attorney General to create a summary of the Mueller Report that twisted its contents | |
| Put kids in cages, separated from their parents, at the border | |
| Inspired violence in his followers with his racist rhetoric | |
| Refused to denounce anyone, no matter how terrible, as long as they liked him — like David Duke, former leader of the KKK | |
| Attempted to intimidate judges and witnesses who were just doing their job and telling the truth | |
| Violated the Hatch Act by engaging in political activities throughout his presidency | |
| Failed to read the daily briefing that other presidents get, due to a lack of attention span and a lack of caring about the job | |
| Abused the pardon power, pardoning people that like him rather than people who deserve it | |
| Demanded loyalty oaths from people who worked in his administration — loyalty to him, not the country | |
| Only ran in 2016 to boost his visibility, and only ran in 2024 to avoid the legal consequences of his actions | |
| Appointed people who were unqualified to significant positions, including family members | |
| Lied about the crowd size for his inauguration, Obama’s was bigger | |
| Attempted to buy Greenland | |
| Cut corporate taxes to their lowest level since 1939, which didn’t do anything good for the economy | |
| Impeached twice, by people who had evidence that he committed high crimes and misdemeanors | |
| Presided over the longest government shutdown in history | |
| Managed to overturn Roe v. Wade with his Supreme Court picks, resulting in abortions being severely curtailed in many states | |
| Lied about being a self-made man, his father gave him $413 million | |
| Incapable of speaking at the level we expect presidents to speak at, look at any of the debates — compare how Trump speaks to how George W. Bush speaks, and we thought he was not so smart | |
| Claimed he had immunity from prosecution of any crimes he committed while president, with no evidence such a thing existed | |
| His own wife is unsupportive of his reelection efforts, she hasn’t been appearing at campaign events | |
| Has lost whatever competence he once had, he repeatedly makes mistakes about who’s president, the date of the election, and whether World War II has already happened | |
| Threatened retribution on his political enemies, even going as far as quoting Hitler |
