tax cut that overwhelmingly benefitted the wealthiest and biggest corporations and exploded the federal debt when he was president. Donald Trump added more to the national debt than any President of the United States in a term in all of American history — more to the national debt,” he said.
While Biden was careful about his verbiage in this speech, he has been fact-checked in the past for claiming that the tax cuts entirely benefited the wealthy and corporations. According to an analysis from the Joint Tax Committee and the Tax Policy Center in 2018, most taxpayers would see a tax benefit from Trump’s cuts.
During this speech, Biden also touted accusations that Trump made disparaging comments toward fallen service members in France. However, these claims lack substantial evidence to prove their validity. “I have to say, there are a lot of things that Donald Trump has said and done that I find extremely offensive. But one that offends me the most is when he refused, as president, to visit an American cemetery outside of Paris when he was president. Why? He said that those soldiers who gave their lives were, quote — it was his quote — “suckers” and “losers.” “Suckers” and “losers,” he said it,” Biden said.
