(Patriot.Buzz) – Labeling the move a “Communist price control” that will harm the economy, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump slammed Kamala Harris’ proposal for a federal ban on corporate price gouging on groceries.
Trump spoke out against the proposal during a news conference at his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, which was broadcast live and simultaneously streamed online.
This event marked Trump’s increased efforts to engage with the media, unlike Harris, who has not yet held a similar informal press event or given a media interview since becoming the presumptive Democrat nominee.
“Now, Kamala is reportedly proposing Communist price controls,” Trump said while stating his opposition to such measures.
Standing beside a display of various consumer goods and a chart illustrating their price increases under Harris’ tenure, he argued that such controls do not achieve their intended outcomes.
“And if they worked, I’d go along with it, too. But they don’t work. They actually have the exact opposite impact and effect, but it leads to food shortages. Rationing, hunger, dramatically more inflation,” Trump explained.
Trump further criticized Harris’ economic strategies: “This announcement is an admission that her economic policies have totally failed and caused, really, a catastrophe for our country.”
“People don’t respect her in the economy. Economists are laughing. They can’t even believe this is happening to our country. And she wants to change a free-enterprise type country into a Communist-type country,” Trump expressed.
“That’s what she knows. She’s considered far more radical than Bernie Sanders. That’s all you have to know. Far more radical. And she picked somebody that’s far more radical than Bernie Sanders,” he added.
Trump also painted a bleak picture of the implications of Harris’ policies: “She is in favor of the death of the American Dream because everything she does really stops.”
He stated, “Any one of these items stops the American Dream…We have all these young people that are coming out of schools, colleges, everything else, and they’re not going to have the American Dream. They don’t even think about the American Dream right now. They just think about survival.”
When questioned about whether the federal government should be responsible for setting food prices, Trump replied, “Well, not only responsible, they probably can’t do it legally, and that will drive up prices.”
