Statement on Trump Speaking at Business Roundtable
Workers and Businesses Can’t Trust Con Man Donald Trump
Today, as Donald Trump is set to speak to the Business Roundtable, a few quick reminders:
Donald Trump is a failed businessman and a failed president.
He failed as a casino owner, filing for bankruptcy six times. He failed as an airline, university and hotel owner. He failed as a steak, water, and vodka salesman. He failed at a board game and a magazine. He failed to pay his taxes.
Donald Trump’s record is clear: He was the worst jobs president in modern American history.
He broke promises and failed states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Trump’s plans for a second term are even worse:
Experts say his agenda for the economy will “raise costs for consumers,” “increase the inflation rate,” and even spur a “recession”
Will hurt the US economy by accelerating inflation, killing jobs, depressing growth, and spooking investors
Will cost the economy nearly 700,000 jobs and increase the unemployment rate
Will increase Americans’ costs by $500 billion a year and $1,700 per family
Will send inflation skyrocketing and raise costs for American families and businesses
Will raise costs on food
Will cut Social Security and Medicare
Will repeal the Affordable Care Act, increasing health care costs
Joe Biden is leading America out of the mess Donald Trump left us in.
America under Joe Biden has:
The strongest economy in the world: Joe Biden’s investments in America have created high economic growth, the unemployment rate is at historic lows, household wealth has surged, and wages are rising faster than costs, especially for the working class
Helped to create over 15 million new jobs, built new factories, protected American workers, and spawned a startup boom
Unemployment sits at or below 4% for the more than two years – the longest continuous stretch since the 1960s
Stock market highs – across every major index
Rising incomes across every income level – and outpacing inflation
Inflation is easing
Food and gas prices down
Shrunk the wage gap between Black and white workers – and between those with and without a college degree
Hit all time highs in energy production
Violent crime is down
The following is a statement from Biden-Harris 2024 spokesperson James Singer on Donald Trump’s speaking at the Business Roundtable:
“Donald Trump couldn’t run a lemonade stand, let alone our country. He is a fraud, a crook, and a failed businessman and president who left America in economic ruin.
“Donald Trump’s chaos hurt workers, small businesses, and families across America.
“The choice is clear: Joe Biden has created a booming economy for all Americans, with rising wages, more than 15 million new jobs, and stock market highs, and is building an economy for the future.”
