Trump blasts Harris as an 'economy wrecker' and 'country destroyer'

Former President Donald Trump on Monday warned that a victory for Vice President Kamala Harris in November would have adverse consequences for the U.S., calling her an "economy wrecker" and a "country destroyer."

Trump made the remarks at an event in York, Pa., amid the Democratic National Convention.

"If Kamala gets in, the United States, will rapidly become a de-industrialized third world nation, like so many others have become," he warned. "She's running on socialist price controls, banning gas powered cars and trucks, and private health insurance policies are gone."

Harris proposed a federal ban on price-gouging, saying on Friday that "I will go after the bad actors, and I will work to pass the first ever federal ban on price-gouging on food. My plan will include new penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules, and we will support smaller food businesses that are trying to play by the rules and get ahead."

"She wants to defund the police. Abolish cash bail," he went on. "She wants to abolish [Immigration and Customs Enforcement]. Get rid of the incredible brave patriots of ICE who take MS-13 gang members... out, and they take them out bravely. They're strong, they're fierce, and they love our country."

"She wants to give free health care for millions of illegal aliens and give them all citizenship into the United States immediately," he insisted. "And she then wants to sign them up for Medicare and Social Security, and she wants them to vote illegally, if possible, any way they can vote. They don't care if it's legal or not. And they're signing people up as we speak."

Harris is expected to deliver her acceptance speech to the DNC on Thursday. The convention is running from Monday until then.
