总统乔·拜登抨击前总统唐纳德·特朗普周三，当他前往威斯康星州兜售新的数十亿美元微软在特朗普政府一个项目失败的同一地点进行投资。
2024年的事件选举白宫称“战场之州”是他作为总统的正式访问。拜登在全国各地加大竞选和官方访问力度之际，他的政治对手基本上被困在曼哈顿的一家法庭上。
“政府承诺由富士康投资10万亿美元建设新的制造基地，创造13，000个新的就业机会。事实上，他和你们的参议员罗恩·约翰逊一起来到这里，真的拿着一把金铲子，承诺建造世界第八大奇迹，”拜登说，他小心翼翼地没有使用特朗普的名字，只称他为“我的前任”。
相反，拜登宣布微软投资33亿美元在威斯康星州拉辛建立一个人工智能数据中心。该数据中心将位于特朗普计划在2018年为台湾科技公司富士康投资数十亿美元的同一地点。
该设施未能实现，即使在拜登政府表示地方和州政府投入5亿美元纳税人资金准备该网站之后。
“你在跟我开玩笑吗?看看发生了什么。他们用那些金铲子挖了一个洞，然后他们掉进了里面，”拜登继续说，并对特朗普进行了抨击。
拜登指的是特朗普和其他官员参加的2018年奠基仪式，他们都拿着金铲子。时任总统特朗普在建筑工地、拖拉机和一面巨大的美国国旗的背景下铲土。
拜登补充说:“他们浪费了数亿美元，你们的州和地方税收，并承诺了一个从未发生的项目。“事实证明，富士康只是一个骗局。“
拜登承诺提供数千个新工作岗位，他的言论旨在对比特朗普政府的经济政策和白宫目前的做法。在11月大选之前，他希望向美国人民推销他的经济成就，因此他继续倾向于这一信息。
“各位，在上届政府期间，我的前任做出了承诺，但他没有兑现承诺，并在像拉辛这样的社区留下了许多人。在我的监督下，我们许下承诺并信守承诺。我们不让任何人掉队，”拜登说。
在关键的摇摆州威斯康辛州的正式停留之后，将在该州举行竞选活动。
周三在威斯康星州的演讲只是拜登在重要选举州举行的最近一次官方活动。上周，他在北卡罗来纳州宣传新的资金，以帮助更换全州和全国的铅管。
他还经常去重要的摇摆州宾夕法尼亚州参加竞选和正式的总统活动。
Biden trolls Trump while touting new Microsoft project in 2024 battleground Wisconsin
PresidentJoe Bidentook shots at former PresidentDonald Trumpon Wednesday as he traveled toWisconsinto tout a new multi-billion dollarMicrosoftinvestment at the same site where a Trump administration project failed.
The event in the 2024electionbattleground state, billed by the White House as an official stop in his capacity as president, came as Biden ramps up both campaign and official visits across the country while his political rival is largely stuck in a Manhattan courtroom.
"The administration promised a $10 trillion investment by Foxconn to build new manufacturing complex, create 13,000 new jobs. In fact, he came here with your Senator Ron Johnson, literally holding a golden shovel, promising to build the eighth wonder of the world," Biden said, being careful not to use Trump's name, referring to him only as "my predecessor."
Biden instead announced a $3.3 billion investment by Microsoft to build an AI data center at the location in Racine, Wisconsin. The data center will be at the same site that Trump planned for the Taiwanese tech company Foxconn to invest billions of dollars in 2018.
That facility failed to materialize, even after the Biden administration said that local and state governments pumped $500 million in taxpayer dollars into preparing the site.
"Are you kidding me? Look what happened. They dug a hole with those golden shovels, and then they fell into it," Biden continued, trolling Trump.
Biden was referring to a 2018 groundbreaking ceremony that Trump participated in with other officials, all holding gold shovels. Then-President Trump shoveled dirt with the backdrop of the construction lot, tractors, and a large American flag.
"They wasted hundreds of millions of dollars, your state and local tax dollars, and promised a project that never happened," Biden added. "Foxconn turned out to be just that, a con."
Biden promised thousands of new jobs and his remarks were intended to draw a contrast between the Trump administration's economic policies and the current White House approach -- a message he's continued to lean into as he looks to sell his economic accomplishments to the American people ahead of the November election.
"Folks, during the previous administration, my predecessor made promises which he broke more than kept and left a lot of people behind in communities like Racine. On my watch, we make promises and we keep promises. And we leave no one behind," Biden said.
This official stop, in the critical swing state in Wisconsin, will be followed by a campaign event in the state.
Wednesday's Wisconsin speech is just the most recent official event Biden has held in important electoral states. Last week, he was in North Carolina touting new funding to help replace lead pipes across the state and country.
He has also frequented the important swing state of Pennsylvania, for both campaign and official presidential events.
