Wow that was a lot of words. I guess they could be called statements, but not factual statements. Here we go:
Claim 1: Biden Benefited from Trump's Economy; Trump is Suffering from Biden's Economy
Analysis:
The economic performance of any president is influenced by multiple factors, including global events, monetary policy (Federal Reserve actions), and long-term structural changes.
Biden’s early economy: The U.S. was recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic when Biden took office. The economy grew significantly in 2021 due to the combination of stimulus packages (started under Trump, continued under Biden), the reopening of businesses, and vaccine rollouts.
Trump’s late economy: In 2020, the economy faced a severe contraction (-3.4% GDP) due to the pandemic. However, Trump’s administration also pushed for stimulus checks and PPP loans, which helped stabilize things temporarily.
Current Economy (2024): The U.S. economy grew by 3.3% in Q4 2023 (BEA report), with unemployment remaining low at 3.7%. However, inflation remains a concern, though it has cooled from its 2022 peak.
Verdict: While Trump’s policies played a role in early post-pandemic recovery, the economy was already in a volatile state when Biden took over. Recent economic strength (job growth, GDP) challenges the idea that Biden’s policies are causing an economic downturn.
Claim 2: BRICS Was Trying to Collapse the U.S. Economy
Analysis:
BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) has sought to reduce dependency on the U.S. dollar, but there’s no evidence that its goal was to “collapse” the U.S. economy.
The dollar still dominates global transactions: 88% of global forex trading involves the dollar (BIS).
China and Russia have tried to reduce U.S. financial influence, but their efforts haven’t significantly threatened the global dollar system.
Verdict: BRICS countries seek to diversify global finance but haven’t succeeded in seriously undermining the U.S. economy.
Claim 3: U.S. Allies Have Strengthened Under Biden (Italy, Argentina, Japan, Israel)
Analysis:
Italy: has not distanced from NATO or the U.S., despite prime ministers populist background.
Argentina: is pro-market and friendly to the U.S., but he also wants to strengthen ties with China.
Japan: Strengthened its alliance with the U.S. under Biden’s Indo-Pacific strategy.
Israel: U.S. support for Israel remains strong, though Biden, rightfully so, faced criticism over his handling of the Gaza conflict.
Verdict: The claim that Biden has weak alliances is misleading; in some cases (NATO, Japan, Indo-Pacific strategy), alliances have actually strengthened.
Claim 4: Biden Kept Trump's Tax Cuts, Preventing an Economic Collapse
Analysis:
Biden did not repeal the 2017 Trump tax cuts because Republicans control the House and Democrats don’t have 60 Senate votes.
Trump’s tax cuts disproportionately benefited corporations and high earners (Tax Policy Center), and Biden has proposed raising corporate taxes, though Congress has not passed it.
Verdict: The economy would not have “collapsed” if tax cuts were repealed, but their continuation has prevented major tax hikes.
Claim 5: "Border Invasion" Shows Instability
Analysis:
Border crossings have surged under Biden, reaching record highs.
However, Biden has also expanded deportations and kept Trump-era policies like Title 42 before it was ended in 2023.
Border security is a bipartisan failure—Congress has refused to pass bipartisan reform multiple times on Trump's request so he could use it as a campaign issue.
Verdict: The border situation is serious, but both parties have struggled with solutions. In fact a bi-partisan reform bill was killed BY Trump.
Claim 6: Climate Change is Mainly China and India’s Fault
Analysis:
China (30%) and India (7%) are the top CO₂ emitters, but the U.S. (14%) is still the second-largest contributor.
The U.S. has emitted more cumulative CO₂ than any other country in history (Our World in Data).
China has expanded renewable energy more than any other country, but it still builds coal plants.
verdict: China and India are major polluters today, but the U.S. has played a major role historically. Climate action must be global.
Claim 7: Biden’s Policies in Afghanistan, Ukraine, and BRICS Show Bad Leadership
Analysis:
Afghanistan withdrawal (2021): Initiated by Trump in 2020 (Doha Agreement), finalized by Biden. The chaotic exit was Biden’s failure, but Trump set the withdrawal deadline.
Ukraine: Biden’s support for Ukraine is controversial, but Putin invaded Crimea under Obama (2014) and launched a full invasion under Biden (2022).
BRICS: No major U.S. administration has treated BRICS as a serious threat.
Verdict: Afghanistan’s withdrawal was mishandled, but Trump also planned it. Ukraine policy has bipartisan backing.
Claim 8: USAID gave away billions to non-Citizens
Analysis:
USAID budget is like .79% of the US budget. It goes to literally save lives, and prevent diseases.
Verdict: There is no proof that USAID is "giving billions" to non-citizens improperly. Funds are appropriated by Congress.
Claim 9: Project 2025 Is a "Red Herring" Like the "Russia Hoax"
Analysis:
Project 2025 is a real policy agenda from the Heritage Foundation aiming to reshape government under a future Republican president (Project 2025 Website).
The Russia investigation (2016-2019) found real interference by Russia, confirmed by the GOP-led Senate (Senate Report).
Verdict: Project 2025 is a real policy plan, not a "hoax." Russia Hoax is not a hoax and was confirmed by a REPBULICAN Senate.
Claim 10: Democrats Have More Billionaire Support
Analysis:
Many billionaires donate to both parties. For example:
Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg tend to support Democrats. Although they appeared to kiss the ring for the inauguration so that may not be always the case.
Charles Koch, Elon Musk, and Peter Thiel support Republicans.
Wall Street tends to donate to whoever is in power.
Verdict: Both parties receive billionaire support; it’s not one-sided. I think Citizens United should be overturned and money should be out of politics.
Claim 11: The "Great Reset" Will Mainly Impact D.C.
Analysis:
"The Great Reset" is a conspiracy theory misinterpreting a World Economic Forum initiative focused on post-COVID economic policy.
There is no evidence that D.C. will be uniquely impacted by any “reset.”
Verdict: The "Great Reset" is a misinterpreted concept, not a specific economic event.
Final Takeaway
Your claims mix some real issues (border crisis, economic shifts, Afghanistan withdrawal problems) with misinformation (BRICS collapse theory, Social Security fraud, Project 2025 hoax claims).
