Is Biden Admitting Defeat? President Backtracks on Major Issues, Reverts to Following Trump's Plan

Throughout his campaign for president, and throughout the first several months of his time in office, President Joe Biden was never reluctant to hold back his criticism of former President Donald Trump and his policy prescriptions.

Biden largely campaigned on moving in a new direction, opposite of where Trump had taken the country.

Now, after only a few months in office, Biden appears to be backing off of many of his policy goals, often reverting back to many of the plans and policies Trump had already instituted.

One of President Biden's first executive orders - a good number of which were aimed at undoing the previous administration's immigration policies - was to immediately stop all border wall construction.

Biden started off his presidency with what was perhaps his administration's most controversial move thus far when he decided to kill the Keystone XL Pipeline on his very first day in office.

Upon entering office, Biden claimed to be taking America's foreign policy in a new direction.

The Biden administration may brand itself as wholly different from its predecessor, but these recent moves, among others, suggest that Biden may be realizing that many of Trump's policies were productive and necessary.
