‘All She Has Is Bullshit’: Trump Campaign Attacks Kamala Harris After Rolling Out Economic Plan
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign accused Vice President Kamala Harris of making empty promises before and after she unveiled an economic agenda in North Carolina on Friday, going as far as to claim her speech proposals were “bullshit.”
Harris addressed supporters in Raleigh during remarks in which she blamed high food costs on “price gouging” and vowed to rein in corporate greed. Harris also promised to bolster the child tax credit to $6,000 for the first year of a child’s life and to offer tax relief to 100 million Americans.
The Trump campaign spent much of Friday morning preemptively hitting the vice president as a “communist.” Two of the campaign’s social media accounts monikered her “Comrade Kamala” after it was announced she would support a bill that would permit the Federal Trade Commission to fine companies it deemed guilty of “price gouging.”
They’re not wrong.#ComradeKamala Economic Plan:
— Soviet Price Controls
— Abolish private healthcare
— Raise taxes as high as 80%
— Ban fracking and gas-powered cars
— 25K checks for illegals to buy houses https://t.co/Ov0UBgS5BA— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) August 16, 2024
#ComradeKamala says her plan is going to be to bring down prices—then WHY DIDN’T YOU DO IT? WHY AREN’T YOU DOING IT NOW?

After Harris spoke on the high cost of groceries, the verified Trump War Room X (formerly Twitter) account accused her of pitching “bullshit” to voters – among other attacks.
Kamala Harris admits the American Dream is “out of reach for far too many Americans” since she and Biden took office — so she’s asking for four more years.

Kamala inexplicably rails against President Trump’s successful tax cuts, which lowered taxes for 91% of Americans in EVERY income bracket.
She wants to ELIMINATE those tax cuts — and raise taxes by trillions more.

KAMALA HARRIS: “Now is the time to chart a new way forward.”
Does Comrade Kamala not realize she is CURRENTLY IN OFFICE — or does she just think Americans are stupid? pic.twitter.com/qMc3BXCYJb

Kamala’s economic speech in review: “The past four years with me in power have resulted in prices becoming too high, food becoming too expensive, and home ownership becoming completely out of reach, but you should vote to make me president anyway.”

In Raleigh, Harris said of her plan to lower food prices, “I will work to pass the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food. My plan will include new penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules, and we will support smaller food businesses that are trying to play by the rules and get ahead.”
Harris also promised to lower the federal deficit and accused Trump of working on behalf of corporations and the wealthiest of Americans.
