PRAYING FOR FLORIDA – As millions reckon with the devastation form Hurricane Milton, our prayers are with them.

President Trump had the following message for the people of Florida:

As he said, “to those who have lost so much, know that you are not alone…the sun will shine again over the beautiful Florida that we love so much.”

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S ECONOMIC VISION – President Donald Trump delivered a powerful speech Thursday at the Detroit Economic Club in which he outlined his plan to make America prosperous again.

 Some highlights:

• President Trump said that “by the end of my term” the entire world will be talking about “the Michigan miracle.”
• President Trump: “I am announcing that as part of our tax cuts, we will make interest on car loans fully deductible.”

• President Trump: “When we do all of this, you will witness nothing less than the launch of a new American industrial revolution. Thousands of factories will open up all across our land. Great-paying blue-collar jobs will lift up those who have suffered so terribly over the past four years... Inflation will come down fast. American cars and products will be exported and admired throughout the world again. Young people will move from the coasts and big cities into the heartland to build their fortunes on the new frontier of the American Midwest.”
• President Trump: “Kamala’s EV mandate is one of the most demented regulations that's been conceived... It will destroy U.S. auto manufacturing immediately. It will destroy our trucking-based supply chain, destroy our electric grid, destroy our military, destroy our roads and bridges with vehicles that are far too heavy... destroy the state of Michigan, and it will totally destroy our Middle Class.”
• President Trump: “I will keep your taxes low and your job numbers high... The theft of our companies, factories, jobs, and wealth by foreign countries is over.  We are not going to allow it to happen anymore. And many of those who left will be coming back – and they're going to be coming back fast.”
• President Trump: “When foreign leaders and CEOs call me up to complain about our tariffs, my answer will be very simple: Build it in America... Build it in Detroit... Build it in Dearborn, or Lansing, or Grand Rapids, or Flint.”

KAMALA’S PRICE HIKE CONTINUES – Team Trump Rapid Response had the must-read reaction to new inflation data that shows prices are STILL rising. 

Overall prices are up 20.5% since Kamala took office, with electricity up 31.3%, rent up 22.9%, and groceries up 22.1%.

Today’s new Consumer Price Index, the final inflation report before the election, shows year-over-year prices increased by 2.4% in September — far higher than the 1.4% inflation rate when President Trump left office and the 43rd straight month where inflation has remained above the Fed’s target rate.

Under Kamala, inflation has averaged 5.2% — almost three times the average inflation rate under President Trump.

Meanwhile, real average weekly earnings are down 3.4% since Kamala took office; they increased 8.2% under President Trump. Real wages remain lower than when Harris and Biden first took office.

Kamala, whose policies sent prices soaring in the first place, will send them even higher. There's not a thing she would do differently than Biden – and it shows as she doubles down on the inflationary Harris-Biden agenda with the largest tax hike in history, a Soviet-style price control scheme, and a housing plan that will only drive home prices higher.

After almost four years of Kamala-induced price hikes, relief is on the way when President Donald J. Trump is re-elected and prosperity is unleashed once again.

  • Core consumer prices – stripping out food and energy – rose by 3.3 percent. 
• Prices have risen by 20.5 percent since Harris and Biden took office – with Americans still reeling from the lasting effects of inflation.
  
  • On a year-over-year basis, inflation under Harris and Biden has averaged 5.2 percent – nearly three times as high as the average inflation under President Trump.
