Trump Campaign Press Release - A HALF-CENTURY OF HORRIBLE JUDGEMENT: Joe Biden, Failed Career Politician

Barack Obama knows Biden is a failure.

Tonight the Democrat convention will argue that "leadership matters." That's true – so why are they nominating Joe Biden?

Biden spent nearly half a century in Washington as a career politician and all he has to show for it is a mountain of failures. Former Obama-Biden Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Biden has been "wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades."

Barack Obama knows Biden is a failure. That's why he talked him out of running for president in 2016 and tried to stop him again in 2019.

A review of Biden's nearly 50 years in Washington reveals a terrible record of abysmal job performance and poor judgement:

• Biden oversaw the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression while he was vice president.
  
• Biden voted for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), killing millions of jobs and gutting American manufacturing.
  
• Biden led the effort to give China "most favored nation" trade status, killing millions of American jobs.
  
• Biden supported the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal, which would have killed hundreds of thousands of jobs and shrunk America's economy.
  
• Biden failed to hold China accountable, and instead spent years bowing to Beijing.
  
• Biden oversaw the 2009 stimulus package, which failed to deliver the "shovel ready jobs" he promised.
  
• Biden "did every possible thing wrong" responding to the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic.
  
• Biden failed to replenish the nation's stockpile of N95 masks after the 2009 swine flu.
  
• Biden sided with credit card companies over Americans struggling to pay their bills, authoring a law that made it harder for consumers to declare bankruptcy and helped create the student debt crisis.
  
• Biden supported and defended the war in Iraq for years, and then lied about it.
  
• Biden opposed the raid to bring Osama bin Laden to justice, and then lied about it.
  
• Biden first suggested the failed "reset with Russia."
  
• Biden supported the Iran nuclear deal and sent pallets of cash to the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism.
  
• Biden claimed Iraq would be "one of the greatest achievements" of the Obama Administration just a few years before the rise of ISIS.
  
• Biden failed to provide lethal aide to Ukraine in the face of Russia's invasion of Crimea.
  
• Biden failed to effectively counter Russia's interference in the 2016 election, with even his fellow Democrats admitted the Obama-Biden Administration "choked."
  
• Biden failed to unite our country, with 69% of Americans – the all-time high – saying that race relations were mostly bad when Biden left office.
  
• Biden failed to stop illegal immigration, instead supporting mass amnesty and policies that encouraged more people to cross our borders illegally.
  
• Biden failed to address the opioid crisis. In fact, he made it worse.
  
• Biden helped pass a government takeover of healthcare, which led to skyrocketing premiums, higher deductibles, fewer choices. Millions of Americans had their health insurance plans canceled.
  
• Joe Biden was the architect of policies of mass incarceration policies that destroyed the lives of millions of Black Americans.
