President Trump just announced that he will be rescinding Hong Kong's privileges in response to China's authoritarian takeover of the island nation. No more favored nation status. No more special trading status.

Good move.

The favored nation status, a gift from Biden to the Chinese communist party, allowed them to pollute with impunity and overtake American and other nations' industries.

Trump is now speaking out in favor of the Yellowjackets in France, which was a revolt against France's attempt to raise taxes in accordance with the Paris climate accord that hurts farmers and workers in favor of the eco-conscious woke wealthy.

Trump is going in hard against Biden for allowing China to ruin American manufacturing and steal technology and secrets.

The President has largely undone or prevented further damage through tariffs and restrictions on China.

Congress wants to defund the military, right as China is on America's heels.

"Bombers, hope we don't have to use them. We have the most incredible military."

"China was taking us to the cleaners."

Trump points out that Biden allowed China to do everything it wanted. He also points out that Biden called him xenophobic for the travel ban to prevent COVID from arriving on American shores, and backtracked a month later.

"We saved tens of thousands of lives. But we actually saved potentially millions of lives by closing up. Two to three million lives. Millions of people dead from this curse."

"If we had listened to Joe Biden hundreds of thousands of additional lives would've been lost."

Trump points out that Biden completely dropped the ball on the Swine flu, how they didn't even bother testing anyone for cases during that pandemic.

Fact check: True.

Because Trump is testing for the coronavirus it's always in the headlines. "It's fodder for the fake news to report cases."

"They don't talk about deaths being cut down to a level that's actually tenfold. Cut tenfold. But they don't talk a bout that. They talk about cases."

Trump praises Mike Pence for working around the clock to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. "He did a great job."

He points out that the federal government did everything to support the governors, who didn't use those resources and instead sent sick people into nursing homes.

There are a lot of different promising vaccines in development.

"We are ready to distribute the vaccines when we get it. Taking an economic risk preparing for delivery, but logistically we have our military ready to go."

Many countries are working with the US to do so.

Trump just called Biden "bizarre" in Biden's comments praising China.

"Now he takes it all back, now he wants to be Mr. Tough Guy."

Hunter Biden walked out with 1.5 billion dollars from the Bank of China.

"Where is Hunter, by the way?"

Hunter Biden earned $83,000 a month when he worked for Burisma.

"But nothing happens, nobody cares. And he was unemployed as you know. Unfortunately forced to leave the military, didn't have a job, and all of a sudden he has a job."

"Biden sides with China time and time again. On the 4th of July he said American history is no fairy tale, and he blindly celebrates China saying few nations in history have come so far, and so fast. He's so proud of them. Now he's pushing a platform demolishing the US economy."

America is rebuilding the economy. The stonks are up 500 points today. "Our economy is coming back."

Biden wants to kill American energy with a "hard left crusade" with an entry into the Paris climate accord at the expense of Americans and many other nations.

It's does nothing for the environment but cripple the American industry with energy taxes. It only helps China.

Trump says Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is "not talented in many ways," whom Biden wants to put in charge of his energy plan and the environment--essentially, her and Bernie Sanders who ran for President lots of times but never made it.

Trump highlights Biden's platform: no more detention of illegal immigrants, no more deportations of anyone--including MS-13 gang members who "rape, murder, lots of other things," and even prosecution of illegal border crossers. Incentivization of illegal alien child smuggling.

Biden wants to cancel all asylum agreements with other countries, which require that countries like Honduras take back criminals and never send them back to the US. Biden would welcome rapists and murderers in, and then pay for their lawyers through tax dollars.

Biden would provide taxpayer subsidies and welfare for people who enter the country illegally. Free government healthcare, federal student aid and free community college. This is insanity.

A Biden presidency would not only bankrupt America, it would destroy it.

Biden would sign up all new immigrants for welfare immediately. End requirements for skills or self-efficiency, just "maximize welfare" for every who pours into America illegally.

That's uh... yep.

Biden would end all travel bans, including those from all jihadist regions. That's absolutely wild. A platform more extreme than Bernie's.

Biden would grant mass amnesty. Everyone gets amnesty. A roadmap to citizenship for massive numbers of every illegal immigrant. Not DACA, mind you. Literally everyone.

Trump will be handling DACA with a new immigration action, "very very big, merit-based immigration action."

Biden wants to "vastly expand low-skill immigration." What would this do for American jobs?

Biden wants to increase refugee admissions by 700% percent. No, that isn't a math error. 700%.

Biden would also abolish law enforcement "as we know it."

Perfectly terrible.

Biden would end cash bail nationwide and release dangerous criminals. Just look at New York City and Chicago. You get arrested, you get booked, you get released. That's it. Welcome to Escape from NY.

Biden also plans to appoint "social justice prosecutors" to free violent criminals, end mandatory minimums that currently empower judges to determine appropriate sentences. Incredible.

Biden is unbelievably terrible. Most of these proposals weren't even on Bernie's platform.

Biden not only wants to rejoin the Paris climate accord but also seek out an even higher level of restrictions. Make it worse than it is. Mandate net zero carbon emissions for all homes and businesses. That means no windows. Guess you'll live in a cube.

Most countries that joined the climate accord don't even have it at net zero carbon emissions. It's impossible without destroying all American manufacturing.

Biden wants to end school choice. Good god.

Biden wants to abolish all charter schools. Ban funding for charter schools in poor neighborhoods. Abolish educational standards. In the suburbs, enforce regulation that strips neighborhoods of their own zoning laws and put them under federal control and ruin suburbs.

Trump doesn't even need to highlight his own great plans to rebuild American infrastructure (which he does!). All he has to do slam Biden is to point out every aspect of Biden's god-awful platform.
