Joe Biden is the 46th and current president of the United States and has been president since January 20, 2021. Previously, he had been vice president under Barack Obama. Before that, he represented the tax haven state of Delaware as a senator for 36 years.[1][2] As a senator, he claimed that desegregation would create a "racial jungle."[3] His anti-terrorism initiative classifies people who oppose capitalism as "anarchist violent extremists."[4]
Broken campaign promises
Biden promised to increase the national minimum wage to $15 per hour, although he admitted it would not actually happen.[5] He additionally promised to cancel "a minimum of $10,000" in student debt per borrower, however this has yet to come to fruition over two years later.[6]
War Crimes
On February 25, 2021, Biden bombed Syria, killing 22 people.[7]
