Biden on Trump: He 'didn't build a damn thing' [View all]

President Joe Biden on Wednesday cast a major new investment in battleground Wisconsin as emblematic of the nation’s economic comeback.

But the main thrust of his address wasn’t so much to boast about the current climate as it was an attempt to contrast it with his predecessor’s record. Time and again, Biden took aim at former President Donald Trump, casting him as someone who talked but didn’t deliver.

Even the setting of the speech itself was meant to deliver the point: Biden was highlighting a new Microsoft data center that would be built on grounds where then-President Trump announced that Foxconn would build a $10 billion factory for making LCD panels. That plant was never built, even after the Taiwanese electronics manufacturer received millions in subsidies and bulldozed homes and farms to build the factory.

“He promised a $10 billion investment by Foxconn. He came with your senator, Ron Johnson, with a golden shovel and didn’t build a damn thing,” Biden said. “They dug a hole with those golden shovels and then they fell into it.”
