Reviewing the nation’s challenges Thursday night in a speech to a Heritage Foundation audience, former President Donald Trump said America faces a historically rough period.
“You could take the five worst presidents in American history and put them together, and they would not have done the damage that Joe Biden has done in one year,” Trump said in remarks to Heritage’s Annual Leadership Conference, held on Amelia Island, Florida.

Among the problems the former president talked about were rising inflation, disruptions in the supply chain, a southern border overrun by “millions” of illegal immigrants, America’s lower standing in the world, and emboldened enemies.
Trump blasted Biden for the nation’s humiliating retreat from Afghanistan, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, efforts to reach a new nuclear deal with Iran, increased reliance on overseas oil, and other international developments.
