It’s one of the boatload of flaws that make Trump completely unsuited to the presidency.
"I signed a bill that made the problem worse," Clinton told an audience at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's annual meeting in Philadelphia. "And I want to admit it."
I for one would like to see complete reform of the US prison system top to bottom.

Biden has been in politics for the best part of 50 years and is now seeking election to the highest political office in the land. So as a sign of what is to come, what exactly have been his "achievements" during his political career to justify this promotion? The 1994 Crime Bill is one of his "achievements". Next.

Only 6 in 10 Canadian's currently consider the US a friend, down from 9 in 10 during Obama's first term.
63% of Canadian's support Joe Biden.
But then when the US President is calling Canada a national security threat more than once, that tends not to make Canadian's happy.

I've just watched footage of Biden's recent poorly attended drive-in speech, titled: "Joe Biden Gives the Worst Speech Ever". Something fake media didn't show that this video does, is Biden did it with a teleprompter.

There certainly are predators on the streets who prey on the vulnerable, but he still didn't call them super-predators as per your claim...

The result of the 1994 crime bill that he helped form, was it devastated the black community. And then this year he has the arrogance and cheek to come out with his "you aint black" remark to those black voters who are unsure about whether to vote for him.

The former are more likely to be opportunists, the latter professionally skilled or experienced.

I can't remember the last time any media outlet showed the teleprompter that their newsreaders were using... And those people are professionals, so I'd absolutely expect politicians to use them where possible. Often, there's a lecturn for them to keep their notes on instead. If Trump actually used one, maybe he'd stay on-message for longer...

Trump on the other hand while publically appearing to be an argumentative buffoon, he is authentic, and has the interests of all Americans in his heart. He is a strong leader and does not yield to opponents such as China and Iran, he demands that everyone pull their weight to support world peace, and his is not a warmonger. And he believes in preserving the USA, the nation state, it's constitution, it's traditions and it's values.

re: President Elect Biden
The thing Trump is missing this time is an opponent as depraved as the last one, Biden comes across more as doddery and ineffective. Not the same level of motivation as Hillary engendered.
