Trump praised natural gas production, but could not resist and went back to his political opponents. The political colour of the President’s speech to workers at the plant was subjected to sharp criticism in the media. The problem is that the trip to the chemical plant was financed by the taxpayers, and the taxpayers ‘ money cannot be used for political purposes.
In such cases, presidents usually focus on issues of economic development and does not talk about politics. However, trump once again attacked Biden and Warren, said Democrats do not care about Pennsylvania and arrogated to themselves the credit of construction of the plant.
