“Jon Meacham, the presidential historian and biographer, has been helping to craft President-elect Joe Biden’s speeches, including writing the acceptance speech that Mr. Biden that he delivered Saturday night from Wilmington,” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Meacham is currently not expected to join the administration. But his role crafting Mr. Biden’s biggest addresses has shades of the presidential historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.’s relationship with President John F. Kennedy. Mr. Schlesinger had gone to work for Mr. Kennedy’s campaign and as a member of his White House staff.”

I love Jon Meacham, every time he is on tv, I stop whatever I am doing and listen to every word. To know he was helping to craft President-elect Biden's speeches makes me love him even more (if possible, lol).

The History Channel commentating and a lot of tRUMPanzees love to live in how things used to be in this country.

What tRUMP's stupid base does not understand is that tRUMP and Republican Party have really been the ones destroying how the United States became so GREAT in the 1900s with progressive policies.
