    That’s because he doesn’t parade it to the world. And, frankly, he needs to because he’s up against a guy whose smallest achievement is touted as the greatest thing anyone has ever done.

        I’d say that’s less a small achievement and more a major shame considering how he reacted to the guy who said he had small hands.

        On the other hand, he says things like he invented the terms “fake news” and “priming the pump” and brags about it. He obviously didn’t even invent those terms.

        Meanwhile, Biden isn’t even saying that he literally gave millions of people (there are over 4 million federal employees) the largest raise in years. He barely touted the fact that he just pardoned thousands of people with criminal records for using cannabis on federal land and D.C. And he should be mentioning his infrastructure bill at every single opportunity.

        Instead he’s going for this “Bidenomics” nonsense. People don’t know what that means. “I gave millions of people raises and pardoned thousands of people whose only crime was smoking a joint?” People know what that means. People certainly know what “I created a shit ton of jobs with my infrastructure bill and also started fixing our broken infrastructure” means too.

      When he takes credit for the economic growth nobody thought could happen and avoiding a recession etc he gets the “REAL people aren’t feeling it” dismissal.

      When Trump takes credit for the economic growth everyone expected to continue after Obama, and avoids blame for the recession that happened during his presidency because of Covid, everyone believes he did a great job.
