Former President Donald J. Trump criticized Democratic candidate Kamala Harris after she presented economic proposals so extreme that some have compared them to communism.
In the first indication of how she'll govern if she's in the White House, the current vice president vowed to declare war on “price gouging” by imposing price controls on the grocery industry and freeing federal bureaucrats to enforce them, a sign that will drag the country even further to the left than Joe Biden has done.
“In her speech yesterday, Kamala went full communist. Did you hear that? She went full communist,” Trump told a raucous crowd at a rally in the critical state of Pennsylvania on Saturday.

“She wants to destroy our country. After causing catastrophic inflation, Comrade Kamala announced that she wants to institute socialist price controls,” Trump told supporters at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre.
“I've never worked before, I've never worked,” he said. “This is the Maduro plan, Venezuela, the Maduro plan like the old Soviet Union,” referring to Venezuela's socialist strongman Nicolas Maduro.
“They tried that, how did the Soviet Union work?” Trump asked. “It became Russia, smaller version, it was a smaller version. It will cause rationing, starvation and skyrocketing prices, just as his Inflation Reduction Act, one of the great scams of all time, caused.”
The Republican nominee was referring to the Orwellian-titled 2022 legislative package that further blocked the economic misery inflicted on America by the Biden-Harris administration.
“They passed it with a beautiful name, deflation, because the inflation in their system has been so bad, it's gone up well over 50 percent, you know they say 30, 40, 50, a lot more, people is being devastated,” he said.

Harris' promise to tackle inflation is more than the same gaslighting he pretends he hasn't been in power for the last three and a half years when Americans have been crushed and slowly bled dry by higher food costs, the 'energy, housing. , insurance and medical assistance.
“If you think things are expensive now, they will get 100 times worse if Kamala gets four years as president. According to his plan, Kamala will implement SOVIET-style price controls. He will abolish private health care and reverse the ridiculous tax policies of California in the law of the land, meaning ALL Americans will pay up to 80% of their income in taxes! If you want more CASH and less TAXES, VOTE TRUMP!!!” Trump said in a post on X, sharing a CNN clip criticizing “Comrade Kamala” and her proposed price controls.

“It is a communist system. … He promises to deliver things he cannot deliver. She's never going to approve them,” Trump said. “Like when she and Crooked Joe tried to deliver on student debt. How did that come out? Not too good.”
