Letter: Biden accomplished much more than Trump

So, we progressives don’t speak about President Joe Biden’s accomplishments (“Letter writers don’t get why people back Trump,” Star-Advertiser, Letters, Sept. 2)?

How about: the CHIPS and Science Act, bringing chips manufacturing home; the Inflation Reduction Act, combating global warming (please don’t give me head-in-the-sand thinking); the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, doing something Donald Trump only talked about? Those alone are more than anything Trump did. Biden also united the world and NATO against Russia (whom Trump admires).

As to Trump’s “accomplishments”: Strong borders to separate children from their parents, a strong economy just like Barack Obama before him and Biden after, and strong international standards in support of North Korea and Russia.

The simple fact is that Trump sits atop a cult that hates liberals because they’re liberals.
