Harris Dishonest Mondays: Trump’s America First Trade Policy

September 16, 2024

Kamala Harris is going after President Trump's plan to protect American workers. She's calling it a "tax." Absurd. Let's compare the two candidate’s records on inflation, wages and taxes under President Trump and Kamala Harris.

  • Inflation: President Trump handed Kamala Harris a 1.4% inflation rate. On her watch, inflation reached over 9% and prices are up now over 20%.

  • Real Wages: Under President Trump, real weekly wages increased 8.2%. Under Kamala Harris, they are down over 3%.

  • Taxes: President Trump cut taxes for the average American family by over $1,200. Kamala Harris has raised the tax burden on Americans making as little as $20,000 a year.

Because of his America First trade policy, President Trump was able to renegotiate fair trade deals, deals that the naysayers insisted were impossible, while holding China accountable.


Trump Transition Chair Howard Lutnick explained it so well on CNBC this morning, even the Democrat hosts agreed that the result will either be a massive windfall for taxpayers or lowering tariffs on American-made goods sold in other countries. In other words, a win-win.



On top of all that, it's worth remembering what President Trump often points out: it's notable that for all their protestation on tariffs, the Harris-Biden administration has kept many of President Trump's tariffs in place. Turns out President Trump was right, again.



Unfortunately, Kamala Harris has refused to build on President Trump's progress, and has instead prioritized undermining America's energy supply chain, and empowering nations like China, through her Green New Deal policies.


President Trump put the American worker first as president, and when he's elected back to the White House, we'll have a president who puts American workers first once again.
