CNN fact checking of Trump's speech. Probably take less time to report what he didn't lie about. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/20...ip-where-he-lists-almost-two-dozen-Trump-lies
Trumps speech was a bunch of fanciful narratives complicit with alternate facts. When Obama/Biden left, the economy was on a upwards trend. There was no recession in sight. Trump actually enjoyed the benefits of Obama's economy hjs first few years in office. Trump did not create the greatest economy ever. Not only did he destroy our global economy by casting aside our friends and creating trade wars with China, he destroyed our national economy by giving the largest ever tax breaks to the rich, further dividing the wealth gap in America. The rich got richer, the poor got poorer. While millions lost jobs and were left to get evicted and go hungry, Jeff Bezos gained $200 billion in worth and became the richest man in the world. Most other rich people have seen their wealth rise too.
There are facts and there are alternate facts. Kind of a stupid thing to come up with and yet there are idiots who go for it just because of the source.
Bezos started the year with a "mere" $87 billion. So while tens of millions list jobs, thousands of small businesses closed, 180,000 died, 20 percent of parents worry about feeding their children he more than doubled his wealth. Bezos would have to lose 90 percent of his wealth to be as "poor" as Paul Allen.
To be fair, he would have to lose 100% of his life as well, but let's not dwell on this. The issue here tho is not Bezos, it is the absurdity of the stock market.

does this use of aborted fetal tissue in the regeneron anti body cocktail developement and research that the president just took conflict with your pro life stance? i know it does for many others. So far, the administration has not budged on its rules around the use of fetal tissue, and while anti-abortion legislators have urged the president to similarly discontinue the use of embryonic stem cell research, under the pretense that an embryo is basically a fetus, that research venue remains intact. Regeneron’s public position is that it uses a “wide variety of research tools,” including stem cells, to develop its products, which it has noted “adheres to federal and state laws and regulations.” But it also, according to supplementary material released by researchers in Science, “briefly” used a derivative of a common cell line called HEK 293 in the development of the therapy that would eventually be administered to Trump—cells originally cultured from an aborted fetus in the ‘70s in the Netherlands. HEK 293 has been used widely for decades in research and industry and enjoys the occasional controversy when, for instance, the Christian media discovers it might have been used in the development of a candy bar or diet soda. Most recently, it has become a focal point for pro-life opposition to some coronavirus vaccines.
I'm against abortion. Period. Let's discuss stem cell research vs. late-stage abortion, which Biden appears to support. https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/09/biden-harris-abortions-late-in-pregnancy/
so not conflicted at all? it was an aborted fetus that cells were harvested from during research and developement. HEK293 – The HEK293 line is the original line established from a primary embryonic human kidney and transformed with sheared human adenovirus type 5 DNA. The E1A adenovirus gene is expressed in these cells and participates in transactivation of some viral promoters, allowing these cells to produce very high levels of protein.2 https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol...T – HEK293T is a HEK293,of the SV40 T antigen.
Why discuss one vs. the other? That seems like a deflection from an honest question to let's post an article that makes speculative jumps and assumptions instead of any sort of journalistic work, and then say I don't like killing babies! Line in the sand!
