Question: Amidst the roughly 99 percent negative media reports on President Donald Trump, how many would have been able to identify the far left platforms of Democrat poll-supported Joe Biden read out in his July 14 Rose Garden press conference? (White House, July 14, 2020)
Mainstream and social media were lightning-quick to criticize Trump for dissing Biden at the presser.
Trump advisor, Fox News contributor Karl Rove stepped up to say that the president shouldn’t be talking about Biden out on the campaign trail.“Cavuto said, “I do want to clarify a couple of things he said, that no president in history has cut regulations as much as he has. That is true. I think he might have mischaracterized the regulations that were added under Barack Obama — they were largely financial related. You might recall we had this little thing called the financial meltdown, and much of those regulations were geared to preventing banks from ever investing in things like risky mortgage securities, pooling them, selling them off.”
“He continued, “The unemployment rate did, under Barack Obama, go down from a high of 10% to around 4.7%. President Trump, of course, sent that even lower, eventually getting us down to a 3.5% unemployment rate. But I didn’t want to leave you with the impression that during those eight years when Obama first came into office, and we were bleeding about a million jobs a month that that was standard fare and that characterized the whole eight years.” “He added, “It was not a disaster under Barack Obama. Not only did the Dow essentially triple during his tenure, but whether you want to call the increase regulations and other things that police financial companies, as a bane to our existence, those companies did very well. Americans did very, very well. So I just want to put that in some context here.”Wonder why Cavuto didn’t “fact check” the Rose Garden speech where Trump outlined the Biden campaign platform with all of its far left socialist dictates? Question: Is Donald Trump the first president whose message is being almost totally stifled by a gang up of the Democrats, media and entertainment celebrities? It certainly looks that way.
