President Joe Biden returned to his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania on Tuesday to tell workers why they should trust his economic policies over former President Donald Trump’s.

Biden told voters that “where you come from matters.”

And characterized Trump, his Republican rival in 2024, as a man who both squandered his own money and supported policies to help the rich, not the working class.

‘When I look at the economy, I don’t see it through the eyes of Mar-a-Lago. I see it through Scranton’s eyes,’ Biden said.

Trump, he said, ‘has learned very different lessons.’

“He learned that the best way to get rich is to inherit it,” the president said. “Not in a bad way,” he added as the crowd laughed.

“He learned that paying taxes is something that people who work for a living did, not him,” the president continued.

Trump has never voluntarily released his tax returns when running for office or as president, although a New York Times report from 2020 found that he paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and in 2017. Trump also paid no federal income taxes in 10 of the previous 15 years due to losing so much money from his business connections.

“He learned that telling people ‘you’re fired’ was a laughing matter,” Biden continued, using Trump’s famous Apprentice line.

“I guess that’s the way you look at the world when you’re Park Avenue and Mar-a-Lago,” the president added.

Growing up in Scranton, Biden said, ‘nobody gave you anything.’

‘You have paid your taxes. You made sure that being told ‘you’re fired’ wasn’t entertainment, it was a nightmare that people cared about,” he said.

Biden slightly glossed over his words, noting that “all I knew about the people like Trump who looked down on us … they wouldn’t welcome us into our homes or their clubs.”

Biden then made a few cracks about Trump’s current financial woes.

The president repeated his pledge to never raise taxes on Americans making less than $400,000 annually.

‘If Trump’s stock in Truth Social, his company, went any lower, he might do better under my tax plan than his. Is it possible.’

Biden then repeated a joke he has told behind closed doors.

‘You know, I’ve already delivered real results in a financially responsible way. But I know that not everyone feels that way,’ he began. “The other day a guy who looks defeated came up to me and asked if I could help. He was drowning in debt.’

“I said, I’m sorry Donald, but I can’t help you,” the president laughed.
