Biden compares Trump to Hoover in Philadelphia speech – By Haisten Willis (Washington Examiner) / June 14, 2022
President Joe Biden on Tuesday compared former President Donald Trump to President Herbert Hoover as the only two presidents to leave office with fewer jobs than when they started.
The comparison between Trump and Hoover, who is infamously linked to the Great Depression that led to the rise of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, came during a speech to union members in Philadelphia.
“We’ve come a long way in a short time,” he said before members of the AFL-CIO. “Can you remember what our economy looked like before we took office? Three thousand Americans were dying every day from COVID. Twenty million Americans had lost their jobs under the last guy.”
Biden then made the comparison with Hoover, who was swept out of office after a single term in 1932 with the country in the throes of a worldwide economic depression.
