White House chief of staff mocks Trump, says Biden is fulfilling promises the former president could not

The White House chief of staff mocked former President Donald Trump.

The Associated Press reported on Sunday that Biden was delivering on many of Trump's unfulfilled promises.

During his time in office, Trump made pledges to fix national infrastructure, bulk up American manufacturing and reduce the budget deficit.

Josh Boak wrote that after two years as president, it was Joe Biden who was acting on the promises.

The article poked fun at Trump's attempts to have an "infrastructure week" that didn't work, as well as Biden's plans to deliver an "infrastructure decade".

The bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act is being used to tackle China's dominance over manufacturing computer chips.

Trump tried to take on China's chip-manufacturing industry but his approach backfired and may have contributed to the current chip shortage.

Brian Deese, director of the White House National Economic Council, told the Associated Press that he wanted to avoid the idea that Joe Biden took Donald Trump's ideas and enacted them into law.

The campaign agenda that President Biden took and delivered on is what he had been campaigning on.

During his time in office, the global economy was disrupted and governments around the world were diverted from fighting the virus.

Trump and other Republicans have vastly different opinions on Biden's record.

They've been critical of the administration's handling of the economy, including blaming it for record inflation, declines in the stock market, and high gas prices.

The president's approval ratings have been low for more than a year despite the Biden administration's actions.

According to Biden's aides, he is fulfilling his own campaign pledges rather than intentionally honoring his predecessors.

The representative for Trump didn't reply immediately.
