"Donald Trump failed Americans as president, costing our economy millions of jobs, and bringing us to the brink of recession," Harris for President spokesperson James Singer said in a statement.
"Now, he's promising even more damage with a Project 2025 agenda that will decimate the middle class and increase taxes on working families, while ripping away health care, raising prescription drug costs, and cutting Social Security and Medicare all while making his billionaire donors richer."
Sounds like a pretty good summary.
Trump coasted on Obama's economy while he spent all of his time grifting and watching TV. Then when a crises finally hit we got to see just how much having an incompetent and ethically bankrupt president can cost us.
Now he's promising worse, while pretending he never met any of the folks who devised his 2025 playbook. He's planning tariffs (which are essentially huge middle class taxes), of course still plans to gut Obamacare, and as always they're still after SS/Medicaid. AND of course the only legislation they'd likely pass would be another billionaire tax cut, all added to the deficit (which will cease to matter), again.
So yeah, I'd say they nailed it.
Yeah I'm not really seeing what in that summary is far off.
I just saw a clip the other day (before the Project 2025 disavowments) of Trump showering the Project 2025 guys with praise and saying their strategies were "a winning formula" and exalting how much he enjoyed working with them and Heritage over the years.
And then he put the guy who wrote he foreward for the P2025 leader's book in his VP seat.
He can disavow P2025 all he wants but the damage is done.
Between almost being assassinated, P2025, "black jobs," questioning Kamala's race/ethnicity as he badgered black journalists, putting a total dud in the VP chair, rambling through the worst 1.5 hour speech you'll ever see a presidential candidate make, and seeing his electoral chances tank, and someone not even in the race a month ago's electoral chances shoot up to currently make the race a tossup, his last month couldn't really have gone worse.
I don't think any of us thought this is where we'd be after he took the bullet and told us all to Fight for our right to party.
His team better get their **** together, focus their message, put a muzzle on their guy, and hope Harris falters or their criticisms of her stick and start to resonate.
