Here Are The Predictions Trump Got Right About Biden
Trump accurately warned voters that Biden’s policies would attack free speech and the Second Amendment, cause illegal immigrants to flood the southern border, and consumers would suffer high gas prices and a failing economy.

Biden’s Attacks On The Second Amendment
Trump warned that Biden’s administration would implement a “radical left agenda,” including attacks on the First and Second amendments.
“He’s following the radical left agenda: take away your guns, destroy your Second Amendment, no religion no anything, hurt the Bible, hurt God, he’s against God, he’s against guns, he’s against energy, our kind of energy,” Trump said in August 2020.
“If Joe Biden gets in, your Second Amendment is gone. It’s gone — either obliterated to a point of being gone or gone itself,” Trump told supporters on Sep. 8, 2020, in Florida. (RELATED: The Gun Control Legislation Will Strip You Of Rights — Then ‘Bankrupt’ You To Get Them Back)
The Trump campaign also released an ad that warned Biden “openly admitted his plan to violate our Second Amendment rights.”
“To gun owners out there who say, well, a Biden administration means they’re going to come for my guns. Bingo. You’re right,” Biden said in a clip from CNN the Trump campaign used in the ad.
FactCheck.org claimed Trump’s ad was nothing more than “an out-of-context video clip” of Biden.
Biden’s remarks at Cross Hall on gun violence reignited his calls for Congress to begin restricting the Second Amendment. He also claimed the Constitution does not give Second Amendment “absolute” protection.
“The Second Amendment, like all other rights, is not absolute. It was Justice Scalia who wrote … the rights granted by the Second Amendment are ‘not unlimited.’ Not unlimited. It never has been,” Biden said.
“We need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. And if we can’t ban assault weapons, then we should raise the age to purchase them from 18 to 21. Strengthen background checks. Enact safe storage laws and red-flag laws. Repeal the immunity that protects gun manufacturers from liability,” Biden continued.
Biden signed the first new gun control legislation in 28 years with the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act into law on June 25.
The bill includes millions of dollars in incentives for states that pass red-flag laws, expands federal background checks, increases waiting period before a sale can be approved and redefines who can register as a Federal Firearms Licensee.
Biden said the bill doesn’t go as far as his administration wanted, but “does include actions I’ve long called for that will save lives.”
