President Joe Biden lambasted Donald Trump for comments casting the US as a “failing nation,” plugging his agenda in a Republican-leaning state he aims to pick up in November’s election. The president during a Thursday event in North Carolina hit Trump for predicting the economy will crater and hoping any stock market crash happens under Biden’s watch. “He doesn’t want to be the next Herbert Hoover. I told him: He’s already Hoover. He’s the only president to be president for four years and lose jobs, not gain jobs,” Biden said, referring to the president who was in office at the time of the 1929 market crash that triggered the Great Depression. Trump in office touted Wall Street’s performance as a gauge — however imperfect — of his economic stewardship. The S&P 500 Index gained about 70% during Trump’s tenure, compared with 24% for Biden. -------- Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://trib.al/KM4k5RA Subscribe to Bloomberg Originals: https://trib.al/dJv9Uw8 Bloomberg Quicktake brings you global social video spanning business, technology, politics and culture.
