Donald Trump on Saturday ripped Vice President Kamala Harris’ plan to slap socialist price controls on groceries, saying she’s gone “full Communist.”
The Republican presidential nominee compared economic proposals to reduce inflation that “Comrade Kamala” announced a day earlier – which includes cracking down on price gouging – to infamously failed communist plans pushed in Venezuela and the former Soviet Union.
“In her speech yesterday, Kamala went full Communist …” Trump told a packed house of supporters at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
“She wants to destroy our country. After causing catastrophic inflation, Comrade Kamala announced that she wants to institute socialist price controls,” Trump said.
With food prices surging more than 20% nationwide during the Biden-Harris administration, Harris, during a North Carolina rally on Friday, unveiled economic policies she’d enact during her first 100 days as president.
They include having the Federal Trade Commission enforce a federal ban on price gouging that would slap hefty penalties on companies that set exorbitantly high prices.
“What they are doing is a communist takeover of our country,” Trump said of the Harris proposal.
“Her plan is very dangerous because it may sound good politically … This is Communist; this is Marxist; this is fascist.”
The ex-president also took a few minutes to offer the left-wing Washington Post rare praise for publishing a scathing editorial ripping Harris for claiming price gouging is causing inflation and, rather than offer a legit plan to fix it, offering only “populist gimmicks.”

Her dad was an open Marxist. Even left leaning Snopes admits it.
So the nation seen as the leader of the free world and considered the modern home of capitalism is going to have a female POTUS whose dad is a communist???
Unbelievable. Inconceivable…

I like “Comrade Kamala”—it’s alliterative and makes a very strong point. I hope he brands her with this like he did Clinton with “Crooked Hillary.” He just needs to repeat it enough, and it will really take off and get into people’s minds whenever they think of her, undermining all her fake moderation.
All the new migrant voters will be pleased.. (spit)
Yeah, especially all the Venezuelans since communism worked so well there.
BTTT
for claiming price gouging is causing inflation and, rather than
offer a legit plan to fix it, offering only “populist gimmicks.”
++++++++++++
That is true in my opinion. But the problem becomes and has been
“How do you fix it with enough support across the spectrum so that
people will come to together to begin turning the effort into action”.
So far we haven’t reached that point in the process.
I’m surprised that Obama allowed her to float this Marxist economic plan. She was trying to hide her left wing past and in one speech she blows it.
ps
Obama’s father was a communist economist too. Coincidence?
With the state of modern American education, the very accurate pejorative “comrade” is probably lost on multitudes.
If elected she won’t stop with groceries.
Perfect name!
Kamunism
I’m a millennial, and for sure there are very few among my generation who have any idea what communism is. Most attended public schools, hardly studied history at all. In college, they rarely studied economics and those who did were misinformed by Marxists.
I live near a prestigious university, and still frequent the campus for its library resources. The students are political morons. They can’t count change, much less differentiate capitalism from socialism. Try to tell them and they do know a hotline to call about microaggressions.
Nothing would surprise me....even government owned grocery stores, appliance stores....full steam ahead.
And price controls will keep wages low....making up to the Middle Class wards of the state...
Many people do not understand the meaning of Communism. It will be too late, once the country is manipulated to vote for Communism. The media will promote extreme radical views, people will follow like sheep.
With food prices surging more than 20% nationwide...
Where I live and shop, 20% is an extremely conservative figure. What I was paying a dollar for is hovering right below 2 bucks. And this isn’t a one-off. But many items at this ratio. Overall, I’d estimate my food bill increased approx 60% on average.
Before we go communist there will be shooting. The targets will somehow be surprised that they are targets. Enough with our kids being the cannon fodder. There would not be a single bureaucrat or elected official that would survive any communist takeover.
Yep ..I keep reading 20-30%.
I guess that means overall average?
Cause eggs are $3.50 a dozen or 3 times what they were several years ago.
Otherwise ,I don’t see how selling eggs for 3.50 a dozen is profitable. Because when they were $1 a dozen I bought a dozen or two eggs every week. Roughly $100 a year.
Now I only buy eggs when they are $2 a dozen or less. Last year I probably only bought about $30 worth.
Young people too have been indoctrinated into communism. They think it’s a good thing.
