In President Biden’s first year in office, his administration has implemented an industrial strategy to revitalize domestic manufacturing, create good-paying American jobs, strengthen American supply chains, and accelerate the industries of the future.
These policies have spurred an historic recovery in manufacturing, adding 642,000 manufacturing jobs since 2021. Companies are investing in America again, bringing good-paying manufacturing jobs back home. The construction of new manufacturing facilities has increased 116 percent over last year.
President Biden signed into law the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, which will build on this progress, making historic investments that will poise U.S. workers, communities, and businesses to win the race for the 21st century. It will strengthen American manufacturing, supply chains, and national security, and invest in research and development, science and technology, and the workforce of the future to keep the US the leader in the industries of tomorrow, including nanotechnology, clean energy, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence. The CHIPS and Science Act makes the smart investments so that Americans can compete in and win the future.
UnderBiden, US oil production is poised to break Trump-era records. On Biden's watch, US oil production is poised to ShatterAll-time records set during the Trump administration.
US oil output is now projected to rise to an average of 12.8 million barrels per day this year for the first time ever.
For context, that’s about half a million barrels per day more than the prior annual record set in 2019. It’s also more oil than any other country on the planet produces.
Today's jobs report shows that our economy continues to lead the world, With the numbers from March in, we have officially crossed 15 million jobs created under President Biden. That is more jobs created in a single term than any president in history. Thanks to the investments passed by Democrats in Congress and signed into law by President Biden, the American economy has comeback from thePandemic stronger than ever..
Let us not forget how the jobs record of PresidentBiden compares to that of his predecessor. Trump lost 2.7 million jobs over the course of his presidency — more than any President since Herbert Hoover at the outset of the GreatDepression. While Trump wasted time tweeting ConspiracyTheories and playing political games, President Biden took action to rescue our economy and protect American families. Our economy has made a miraculous comeback.
The PACT Act, which President Biden signed into law in August 2022, is the most significant expansion of benefits and services for toxin-exposed veterans in over three decades. The the PACT Act aims to deliver timely benefits and services to veterans across all generations who have been impacted by toxic exposures during their military service.
Despite its overwhelming support amongst the American people, getting the PACT Act passed in Congress proved to be an uphill battle. Republicans in CongressLied repeatedly about the law and voted against it, before the pressure ramped up against them.

Trump told Stormy that she reminded him of his daughter. That's right. Trump told the woman he had an affair with, that she reminds him of his daughter. Evangelicals love this stuff!!! 😂🤣
In September 1994, a little less than a year after Tiffany was born to Trump and his second wife, Marla, the couple appeared on an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. “Donald, what does Tiffany have of yours and what does Tiffany have of Marla’s?” asked host Robin Leach.
“She’s a very beautiful baby,” Trump replied. “She’s got Marla’s legs. We don’t know whether or not”—he put his hands to his chest to indicate her bra size—”she’s got this part yet, but time will tell.”
While Trump was on The View in March 2006, he was asked what he would do if Ivanka was on the cover of P-boy magazine, Trump said it depended on what was inside the magazine and added, “Although she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said that if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps, I would be dating her.”
In a February 2013 appearance on The Wendy Williams Show, during a question and answer game, Williams asked Trump and Ivanka, "What's the favorite thing you have in common with your father?" Ivanka answered, "Either real estate or golf" while Trump added, "Well, I was going to say 5ex."

"There is beauty in truth, even if it's painful. Those who lie, twist life so that it looks tasty to the lazy, brilliant to the ignorant, and powerful to the weak. But lies only strengthen our defects. They don't teach anything, help anything, fix anything or cure anything. Nor do they develop one's character, one's mind, one's heart or one's soul."
--José N. Harris
Trump is a successful liar because he refuses to remember. Not only that: He refuses to anticipate that he will remember the current moment in the future. If you live mainly in the current moment, then the future consequences of your lies will not matter to you. And if you have lived your entire life this way, and to great acclaim and success, why would you ever want to change?
Trump was annoyed when Dr. Fauci stole the spotlight by throwing out the first pitch for Major League Baseball’s opening game. In response, he falsely claimed that the Yankees invited him to throw out the first pitch. His lie was roundly refuted a short time later. The incident recalls Trump’s false boast that the crowd attending his 2017 inaugural address was the largest in history. Objective photographic evidence decisively refuted that lie.
And yet Trump never pulls back on blatantly false statements — lies that are so obvious that they often defy the laws of physics, chemistry and common sense.
The key to Trump’s psychology is that he moves through life as “the episodic man.” For Trump, each day is a temporary moment of time. Psychological research shows that nearly all adults develop stories in their minds about their own lives.
These stories — what psychologists call “narrative identities” — reconstruct the past and imagine the future. As you make daily decisions, you implicitly remember how you have come to be who you are, and you anticipate where your life may be going. You live within narrative time.
But the episodic man does not live that way. Instead, he immerses himself in the angry, combative moment, striving desperately to win the moment. But the episodes do not add up. They do not form a narrative arc. In Trump’s case, it is as if he wakes up each morning nearly oblivious to what happened the day before. What he said and did yesterday, in order to win yesterday, no longer matters to him. And what he will do today, in order to win today, will not matter for tomorrow.
What is truth for the episodic man? Truth is whatever works to win the moment.
For most people, and every other president in the history of the US, an episodic life would be unsustainable in the long run. There is a primal authenticity in Trump. He tells you exactly what he feels in the moment. He lies straight to your face, without shame, without any concern for future consequences. It is the stark audacity of untruth.

In an interview, Tony Schwartz, the journalist who wrote Trump’s “The Art of the Deal,” said of Trump “Lying is second nature to him, more than anyone else I have ever met. Trump has the ability to convince himself that whatever he is saying at any given moment is true, or sort of true, or at least ought to be true."
Schwartz:, “He lied strategically. He had a complete lack of conscience about it.” Since most people are “constrained by the truth,” Trump’s indifference to it “gave him a strange advantage.”
Schwartz: " When challenged about the facts, Trump would often double down, repeat himself, and grow belligerent."
Schwartz described a man constitutionally incapable of logic, moral reasoning or self-reflection.

I think you just used whataboutism as a defense. 😅
Deflecting or changing the subject is called "what-aboutism" — a simple rhetorical tactic heavily used by the Soviet Union and, later, Russia. It's an attractive tactic for Putin, Trump, and Russian trolls. Whataboutism allows them to be vague, but appear straight-talking at the same time. What-aboutism is essentially a schoolyard taunt, brought to a national and global level.
The idea behind what-aboutism is simple: Party A accuses Party B of doing something bad. Party B responds by changing the subject and pointing out one of Party A's faults — "Yeah? Well WHAT ABOUT that bad thing you did?"
It's not a complicated tactic — any grade-schooler can master it. But it came to be associated with the USSR because of the Soviet Union's heavy reliance upon whataboutism throughout the Cold War and afterward, as Russia.
One big reason whataboutism is so attractive: it's a simple way to shrug off criticism or even responsibility for any wrongdoings..
Whataboutism flattens moral nuances into a black-and-white worldview. But in this worldview, it's very difficult to be the good guy; idealism is the ultimate naïveté, and anyone who dares to criticize another can be "unmasked" as a hypocrite. This creates a useful moral equivalency. If nobody is perfect, then it means that Trump and Putin should get a pass for any wrongdoings.

As White House counsel under Nixon from 1970 to 1973, John Dean was a key figure in the Watergate saga—participating in, and then helping to expose, the most iconic political scandal in modern U.S. history.
“The American presidency has never been at the whims of an authoritarian personality like Donald Trump. He is going to test our democracy as it has never been tested.”
--John Dean
He was not only convinced that Trump will be worse than Nixon in virtually every way—he thought Trump would probably get away with it.
“I don’t think Richard Nixon even comes close to the level of corruption we already know about Trump.”
--John Dean
“I used to have one-on-one conversations with Nixon where I’d see him checking his more authoritarian tendencies,” Dean recalled. “He’d say, ‘This is something I can’t say out loud...’ or, ‘That is something the president can’t do.’” To Dean, these moments suggested a functioning sense of shame in Nixon, something he was forced to wrestle with in his quest for power. Trump, by contrast, appears to Dean, unmolested by any such struggle."
--John Dean

Researchers say there are four main components to TIV:
Need for recognition – whereby individuals have a high level of need for theirVictimization to be seen and recognized by others
Moral elitism – seeing oneself as morally pure or "immaculate," and seeing those who oppose, criticize or victimizeOneself as completely and totally immoral and unjust
Lack of empathy – having little empathy or concern for the suffering of others, because your ownVictimhood is so much greater than the suffering of others. Also includes an entitlement to act selfishly or harmfully towards others, without recognizing their pain or experience
Rumination – a strong tendency to brood and remain extremely fixated on times, ways, and relationships where they experiencedVictimization and being taken advantage of.
A person who has TIV may be very vocal about theirVictim status whether it's caused by societal issues, a personal problem, or something they've fabricated. They believe their status affords them moral superiority to others and allows them to behave in ways that are unassailable.
People with TIV are also more likely to try to SeekRevenge on those who've aggrieved them.
This type of person is defined by, and clings to, their perceived trauma andWeaponizes it against others. Some people can even develop TIV without even experiencing severe trauma orVictimization."
