Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump hit Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris over the weekend after she rolled out her economic policy agenda that included price controls.

Harris received intense blowback over her agenda, including from CNN and The Washington Post Editorial Board, as one economic columnist noted that Harris was trying to pin the blame for inflation on big business instead of owning up to the fact that it was the Biden-Harris administration’s policies that sparked the inflation crisis.

“Kamala went full-communist. She went full-communist,” Trump said during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. “She wants to destroy our country. After causing catastrophic inflation, comrade Kamala announced that she wants to institute socialist price controls. You saw that, never worked before. Never ever worked. This is the Maduro plan, Venezuela, Maduro plan of the old Soviet Union. They tried it. How did the Soviet Union work out? It became Russia.”

“It will cause rationing, hunger, and skyrocketing prices, just like their Inflation Reduction Act caused one of the great scams of all time,” he continued. “They got it approved with a beautiful name, Inflation Reduction, because inflation under their system has been so bad, it’s gone up much more than 50%, you know they say 30%, 40%, 50% … people are being devastated. They’re being devastated, but it’s gone way up, way up.”

Trump later noted that Harris effectively admitted in a speech yesterday that everything had become more expensive during the Biden-Harris administration and that her speech writer will probably get fired as a result of including that admission in her remarks.
