In recent days, Donald Trump said that both Kamala Harris and the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, his Democratic candidate for the November elections, are communists, however, now he went further and assured that If the current vice president wins, she will implement policies “of Venezuela or the Soviet Union (USSR)” in the United States.
Harris “is coming in with the (Nicolas) Maduro plan. We call it the Maduro plan, it’s something straight out of Venezuela or the Soviet Union,” Trump said at a press conference at his private golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, alluding to his rival’s “communist price control proposal.”
The United States is a “bankrupt nation” with a “bankrupt economy,” he said.. Harris “destroys everything she touches,” he then emphasized, while tediously reading off a piece of paper a series of data to accuse his rival in the upcoming presidential elections in November, while accusing her of “wanting to impose communist control over prices.”
Trump began his speech at the golf club with a speech focused on the country’s economic situation, and referred to the candidate’s proposal, put forward by her campaign today, on a federal ban on corporate speculation on food prices in her first 100 days as president.
“This announcement is an admission that their economic policies have utterly failed and have caused a catastrophe in our country and the world.“The conservative politician said of the Democratic Party and the administration of President Joe Biden, claiming that price controls “have the opposite impact.”
“He destroys everything he touches. If he takes office, our finances will suffer (…) Meanwhile, there are millions of immigrants coming across the border and we don’t even know who they are,” Trump added.
Days ago, during his interview on X with Elon Musk, Trump hinted that he could flee to Venezuela if he loses the elections this November.
“If something happens with these elections, something that would be a horror show, we will see each other next time in Venezuela,” Trump said about the Latin American country, believing that it would be much safer than in a US governed by Harris.
Following the Venezuelan presidential election, Trump said it was “neither free nor fair” and blamed his Democratic rival, Vice President Harris.
In a message on the social network Truth, Trump insulted the vice president, whom he called “crazy Kamala Harris” and accused her of having closed with Maduro “one of the worst agreements of all time.”
“Crazy Kamala helped lead the release of Maduro’s top money launderer and his two convicted drug-dealing nephews in exchange for an obviously false promise of free and fair elections for the people of Venezuela,” he opined at the time.
