Things Trump never did but that Biden did:

1. Trump was the first president since Carter not to involve the US in a new war. Consequently, US military casualties were the lowest since Carter.

In contrast, Biden not only voted for the Iraq war as a senator, he stacked committee hearings he chaired with pro-war witnesses.

2. Trump never accused an innocent man of homicide as Biden did when he said the man who drove the car that hit his first wife and kids had been drinking his lunch instead of eating his lunch. The man was innocent. His wife ran a stop sign. To say that a man get drunk and killed an infant is to effectively call him a baby killer.

A thorough investigation cleared the man.

Biden repeated this accusation twice--not in the first months of grief but three decades later.

Things Trump and Biden have in common:

1. Biden is on record as voting for a border *fence" as a senator--which is not that much different than a border wall.

2. Both have a history of pawing women.

3. Both have a frightening "tough on crime" mentality that goes beyond deterrence and public safety and shades into cruelty. Biden's 1994 crime bill increased the number of crimes for which death was a possible penalty. Some crimes became death penalty-eligible even if no one had lost his life.

4. Biden is so pro-big business that he was nicknamed Senator Credit Card. Trump had a tax plan that benefited real estate developers.
