Former US president Donald Trump tore into the Biden administration’s economic record.
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.”
“Under Kamala Harris and crooked Joe Biden, the American Dream is dead. You don’t hear about the American Dream anymore – it’s dead,” Trump said in Asheville, a liberal enclave in the crucial swing state of North Carolina.
“Her radical liberal policies have caused horrific inflation, decimated the middle class and gutted the finances of millions and millions of American families.”
Trump conceded that inflation was “starting to maybe get under control” but also claimed that Harris “has crackled as the American economy has burned” – possibly meaning “cackled,” a word he has used to describe her laugh.
