Trump vs. Biden - Policy ComparisonsThe American people can expect tremendous change in policies in a Biden administration.November 23, 2020There is so much to write about, think about, and if fate decrees a Biden administration, so much to worry about. It appears now the Democratic nominee will assume power and the reins of government, if the current investigations into voter fraud and tampering are not proven. The president’s lawyers are still reviewing legal actions and all possible factors that might have manipulated the count. Whatever your belief is of the accuracy and legitimacy of the election, a Biden presidency seems almost a certainty; the forces of deceit and their malefactors in the media, Silicon Valley, big business, Hollywood, and the cultural elite made sure of that. Thus far, as of this writing, the final results of the election for president are still to be determined, but from all indications and for purposes here, let us accept what seems to be inevitable and the will of a majority of the American people. One can only hope that the Biden voters were well informed and that they did their homework, and understood what the repercussions of the Democrat agenda will be. Having reviewed a number of sources, I have compiled a listing of issues, comparing President Trump's policies and Mr. Biden's. There are a number of issues they agree on, but for our purposes here let’s concentrate on the differences and the most significant issues, and what each candidate does or does not support: DOMESTIC POLICY * Abortion- Trump: No, Biden - Yes * Public funding of abortion: Trump - No, Biden - Yes * Additional abortion restrictions: Trump - Yes, Biden - No * Restrictions on late-term abortions: Trump - Yes, Biden - No * Raising the federal minimum wage to $15.00: Trump - No, Biden - Yes * Federal Reserve to operate independent of political pressure: Trump - No, Biden - Yes * Funding up to 12 weeks paid family leave: Trump - Limited, Biden - Yes * Cutting Social Security: Trump - No, Biden - No * 2017 tax cut: Trump - Yes, Biden - No * Increasing capital gains tax: Trump - No, Biden - Yes * Increasing Corporate Tax rate: Trump - No, Biden - Yes * Reparations for the descendants of slaves: Trump - No, Biden - Will study * Opportunity Zones in struggling communities: Trump - Yes, Biden - Reform * Supports Affordable Care Act: Trump - No, Biden - Yes * Pre-existing conditions: Trump - Yes, Biden - Yes * Lowering Medicare eligibility age: Trump - No, Biden - Yes * Undocumented immigrants get insurance through Medicaid/Public insurance: Trump - No, Biden - Yes * Defunding the police: Trump - No, Biden - No * Voting by mail: Trump - Absentee ballots, Biden - Yes * Voter ID laws: Trump - Yes, Biden - No * Death Penalty: Trump - Yes, Biden - No * Eliminate cash bail: Trump - No, Biden - Yes * Statehood for Washington D.C.: Trump - No, Biden - Yes * Sanctuary cities: Trump - No, Biden - Yes * Increasing defense spending: Trump - Yes, Biden - No * Space Force: Trump - Yes, Biden - Uncertain * Climate change is due to human activity: Trump - Uncertain, Biden - Yes * Keystone XL Pipeline: Trump - Yes, Biden - No CORONA VIRUS * Nationwide mask mandate: Trump - No, Biden - Yes * Lockdowns: Trump - No, Biden - Uncertain INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: * Withdraw from the World Health Organization: Trump - Yes, Biden - No * Tariffs on goods from China: Trump - Yes, Biden - Reevaluate * Trans-Pacific Partnership: Trump - No, Biden - Renegotiate * Importing drugs from Canada, where they’re less expensive: Trump - Yes, Biden - Uncertain * Moving U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem: Trump - Yes, Biden - Uncertain * Iran Nuclear Deal: Trump - No, Biden - Uncertain * Ending assistance for the Saudi-led war in Yemen: Trump - No, Biden - Yes * Direct talks with North Korean leader Un, without prior concessions: Trump - Yes, Biden - No *Current restrictions on U.S. Cuban relations: Trump - Yes, Biden - No * Rejoining the Paris Agreement: Trump - No, Biden - Yes
