Donald Trump attacks the vice president Kamal Harris. And he does so during a conference at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Trump, known for his direct and sometimes polemical approach, has launched heavy accusations against the management of the economy under the Biden administration, particularly pointing the finger at Harris and calling her part of a “far left“. But above all, he announced that he will put an end to the “green shift” on cars imposed by President Biden.
Trump’s Attack on Kamala Harris
Trump’s statements have targeted the economic policies supported by the vice president, labeling them as disastrous and guilty of bringing the country to ruin. This attack is intended to depreciate the work of the current administration, linking Harris to what he considers a dark period for the United States. “I have the right to attack Kamal Harris – he told reporters – she called me `bizarre’ and `I don’t have much respect for her, I don’t have respect for her intelligence’. More. According to the tycoon, the Democratic candidate “wants to transform a country based on free enterprise into a communist-style country” where there will be “communist price controls” and “the Maduro plan”.
Goodbye to the electric car
Among Trump’s electoral promises is the desire to end the so-called “war on energy” undertaken by Harris and to dismantle the Green New Dealwhich he called a “scam”. That is, a fraud. He also criticized the obligations on the use of electric vehicles promoted by the current administration: despite the support received from Elon Musk, who is the inventor of Tesla, he announced that if he returns to the White House he will end “the mandates for electric vehicles”. The motto is simple: “End the EV mandate“. Which means reviewing the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 signed by Biden with its tax credits of up to $7,500 to buy battery-powered cars and commercial vehicles. The plan also includes a $3 billion government intervention over 5 years to electrify the U.S. Postal Service’s fleet.
In recent days the former president had slightly revised his positions, always very critical on electric vehicles. After Musk’s endorsement, during a rally in Atlanta he said he was “in favor” of these vehicles, which however continue to present enormous problems. First, they are “aimed at a small portion” of the population. And then there remain enormous problems with the charging stations which in the US are enormously few.
“I, a miracle from God”
The former president’s safety remains a top priority, especially after a recent attempted attack. The Secret Service has taken extra measures, including installing bulletproof glass at public events, a precaution rarely seen for presidential candidates. “It was a miracle and God had something to do with it: He had something in store for us, and maybe it’s because we want to save the world,” Trump said of the Butler attack where a sniper grazed him and injured his ear.
The War in Israel
On the international front, while Ukraine advances into Russia and the war in Gaza does not subside, Trump promises that once he returns to power “I will restore peace and stability in the world”. “I told Netanyahu to achieve victory quickly” because “the killing must stop,” the tycoon later revealed. Trump and the Israeli prime minister met last month. But the former president denies having asked Tel Aviv to accept a ceasefire agreement with Hamas.
