President Biden on Monday mocked former commander-in-chief Donald Trump as a “great real estate” developer who “didn’t build a damn thing.”
Biden ripped Trump — the head of a New York City real estate dynasty and architect of the country’s controversial border wall with Mexico — while touting himself as the US’s infrastructure king.
“Guess what? The great real estate builder, the last guy here, he didn’t build a damn thing,” the 80-year-old president said during a Labor Day rally in swing state Pennsylvania.
“Under my predecessor, ‘Infrastructure Week’ became a punch line,” Biden said, referring to the dayslong Trump initiative in which his administration touted its national development plans.
“On my watch, infrastructure means a decade, and it’s a headline,” the president said, adding that $10 billion was committed to Pennsylvania so far from the federal government’s 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law.
