In a rambling address that was light on specifics, Trump claimed his Democratic rival would spark another Great Depression if elected and pledged that he would instead send wages soaring and ‘make America affordable again’.
ASHEVILLE - Donald Trump tore into the Biden administration's economic record Wednesday, just days before Kamala Harris unveils her plan for tackling living costs in her first major policy speech as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee.
"Her radical liberal policies have caused horrific inflation, decimated the middle class and gutted the finances of millions and millions of American families." Marginally more Americans trust Harris to handle the economy than Trump, according to one new University of Michigan poll, and she leads or ties the Republican in every battleground state except Nevada, according to the influential Cook Political Report.The vice president replaced President Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket last month and has since been riding a tidal wave of enthusiasm, speaking to packed arenas and eclipsing Trump's polling leads, leaving him scrambling to reset.
Large sections of Trump's speeches on the campaign stump have been untethered to reality, and there was a familiar feel to many of his fantastical claims in Asheville, including that that there was zero inflation when he left office and that he passed the largest tax cuts in history. "Vote Trump and your incomes will soar, your savings will grow, young people will be able to afford a home," he said."And we will bring back the American dream, bigger, better and stronger than ever before."
