Donald Trump has shared a horror prediction about what Kamala Harris would do if she beats him in November.
The former president unleashed a rant on X, writing: ‘If you think things are expensive now, they will get 100 times WORSE if Kamala gets four years as President.
‘Under her plan, Kamala will implement SOVIET Style Price Controls. She will abolish private health care, and make California’s ridiculous tax policies the law of the land, meaning EVERY American will be taxed up to 80% of their income! If you want more CASH and less TAX, VOTE TRUMP!!!’
About ten days ago, the vice president’s campaign unveiled Harris’ plan for a federal ban on price-gouging. It’s a controversial policy that has received pushback from some economists who warned such policies would not bring food costs down.
Economist Jason Furman who served in the Obama administration told the Washington Post it could mean ‘bigger shortages, less supply and ultimately risk higher prices and worse outcomes for consumers’ if enforced in a real way.

During her remarks, Harris said food prices remain too high. She argued as president she would ‘go after the bad actors’ and claimed competition is the ‘life blood of our economy.’
But when she went to announce the price-gouging measure, the vice president ended up mispronouncing ‘gouging’ stead saying ‘gauging.’
‘My plan will include new penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules, and we will support smaller food businesses that are trying to play by the rules and get ahead,’ she said.
Harris touted some of the policies enacted during the Biden administration and said the U.S. economy has come along way since the president came into office during the coronavirus pandemic with record job creation. But she acknowledged prices still remain too high.
Ahead of her remarks, Republicans blasted the vice president for her economic agenda on a call with reporters. They accused her of copying proposals from Trump and blasted other priorities claiming they made ‘no sense.’
Republicans have pointed to the inflation rates under the Trump administration versus the Biden administration, blaming the current administration’s policies rather than the supply chain challenges and shortages coming out of the coronavirus pandemic for elevated prices.
Trump, the former president and Republican nominee in 2024 returned to the now social media platform, now owned by close ally Elon Musk, just two weeks ago.
He had been banished from Twitter in the aftermath of the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack.

Trump’s first post on X in almost a year showcased a two and a half minute, highly-produced campaign ad
The Republican nominee posted once to X in 2023, after Musk had taken over the site, and on the heels of him getting a mugshot taken as part of the Georgia election interference case.
Shortly before noon on August 13, he resumed posting to his @RealDonaldTrump account, which now boasts 89.9 million followers.
Trump has gained over eight million new followers since he began posting to X again.
He first posted a campaign ad.
The two and a half minute spot was highly produced and included scenes from Trump’s 2017 inauguration.
It also included news clips from the 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid and depicted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripping up Trump’s 2020 State of the Union address.
The ad showed Trump triumphantly entering an Ultimate Fighting Championship match with CEO Dana White, who introduced the GOP nominee at last month’s Republican National Convention.
In a follow-up post, the ex-president asked, ‘Are you better off now than you were when I was president?’

Musk, who’s also the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, endorsed Trump the day the former president was shot at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
‘This is unscripted with no limits on subject matter, so should be highly entertaining!’ Musk wrote on X Sunday, previewing the interview with Trump.
Trump has stayed of X in order to keep supporters coming to his own social media platform, Truth Social.
