Former President Donald Trump warned that things would be “100 times worse” if Vice President Kamala Harris was elected president, adding that she would “implement Soviet-style price controls.”
in post Trump noted in X that prices have risen under the Biden-Harris administration and would get even worse if Harris is elected. Trump added that Harris’ economic plan would include “implementing Soviet-style price controls” and “eliminating private health care.”
“If you think prices are high now, four years of Kamala as your president will make them 100 times higher,” Trump wrote. “Under her plan, Kamala will implement Soviet-style price controls. She will abolish private health care and make California’s ridiculous policies the law of the land. That means every American will be taxed up to 80% of their income! If you want more cash and less taxes, vote for Trump!!!”
If you think things are expensive now, four years of Kamala as president will make them 100 times more expensive. In her plan, Kamala would implement Soviet-style price controls. She would abolish private health care and make California’s ridiculous tax system the law of the land.
