Based on his irritation at the criminal charges he is facing, former President Donald Trump made headlines on Thursday defending his personal comments targeted against Vice President Kamala Harris. Leveraging the chance offered by a news conference at his New Jersey golf course, Trump positioned Harris in line with the financial challenges of President Joe Biden’s presidency.
Declaring his displeasure, Trump added, “I’m quite furious at Hillary for what she’s done to the nation. She would weaponize the legal system against me and others, hence I am quite enraged with her. I feel I have authorization to attack personally.” Declaring, “I don’t have a lot of respect for her intelligence and I think she’ll be a terrible president,” he questioned Harris’s possible presidency and further attacked her intelligence.
A rehearsed economic message and known narratives
Against great resistance, Trump read from prepared notes, closely following his economic talking points for more than half an hour. Surrounded by tables stocked with regular supermarket items including instant coffee, sugary cereal, and pastries, his presentation took place at his New Jersey golf club. This display aimed to draw attention to the rising cost of daily needs. Still, Trump sometimes veered into well-known narratives he tells at his rallies, displaying a mix of intentional message and spontaneous remarks. This conference followed a speech the campaign had planned as a significant policy speech the day before, in which Trump battled to deliver a targeted message on his economic policies.
During his speech, Trump dubbed Harris as a “radical California liberal who broke the economy, broke the border and broke the world, honestly”. Although current statistics reflect a drop in inflation rates, this narrative fits Trump’s bigger scheme to blame his opponent for the economic woes. The Labor Department also said that the year-over-year inflation in July had plummeted to its lowest level in more than three years, so signifying a reversal in the severe price hikes over the past four decades. Still, Trump’s campaign is energizing voter support by leveraging consumer residual economic anger.
Harris’s Future Economic Address
Unlike Trump’s aggressive attitude, Vice President Harris is expected to deliver her economic strategy speech in North Carolina. She wants to advocate a national ban on grocery price gouging, therefore addressing one of the key concerns affecting consumers. This proposed measure reflects the efforts of the government to minimize the financial load on American households and challenge the narrative presented by Trump and his team. The political environment becomes hot, and both sides continuously changing their strategies to appeal to voters on salient issues, so creating the foundation for a strong election campaign.
