After Biden’s speech announcing the release of the hostages, reporters asked him about his response to Trump’s claim that he could have reached a better deal than Biden on the release of the hostages. “Why didn’t he do that?” Yes. President?

For President Biden, this is a defining moment that will go down in history. This is what Donald Trump has failed to achieve as president.

This is the same concept as an infrastructure bill, and if these things are as easy to do as Donald Trump claims, why isn’t he doing them while he’s in office?

The answer is that these achievements do not come easily. Each of them requires a rare combination of intelligence and skill.

Despite Trump’s poor performance, President Biden continues to build on his great presidential legacy.
