For the second time in just five days, North Carolina played host to a president — and the two visits couldn’t have been more different. President Joe Biden visited North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro Thursday to discuss his plan to ‘build back America better.’… During Saturday’s visit, Trump sang his usual song: the United States has veered from its path to greatness, and only he can right it. He reprimanded schools for trying to replace ‘reading and math with pronouns and gender study’ and declared, hilariously, that he is the ‘most honest human being, perhaps, that God ever created.’ Biden, on the other hand, touted the results of his administration’s ‘economic vision,’ including new jobs and sharp declines in unemployment.
