US: Trump, Harris lock horns as US presidential race heats up
Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Americans, saying that if Kamala Harris wins the presidential election, the country will be plunged into an economic depression rivaling that of 1929.
In a recent post on X, Trump alleged that a Harris victory would have catastrophic economic consequences, while his win would usher in a golden era of prosperity.
According to Trump, Harris’s policies have already inflicted significant financial pain on American families, with inflation costing the typical household $30,000 in higher prices.

He also accused Harris of planning to implement the largest tax hike in American history, which would further burden families with an additional $3,000 in taxes annually. In contrast, Trump vowed to slash taxes for workers and small businesses, eliminating taxes on tips, overtime, and social security benefits.
Trump said, “If Kamala wins, you are 3 days away from the start of a 1929-style economic depression. If I win, you are 3 days away from the best jobs, the biggest paychecks, and the brightest economic future the world has ever seen.
“Kamala’s inflation nightmare has cost the typical American family $30,000 dollars in higher prices—and now, she wants to impose the largest tax hike in American history, and raise your taxes by $3,000 dollars a year.
“I will massively cut taxes for workers and small businesses—and we will have NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, and NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY benefits!.”
With three days to go until Election Day, and the candidates engaging in their final push, Donald Trump has come under pressure for using violent words against Liz Cheney, who’s supporting Kamala Harris.
He referred to her as a “war hawk” and said that she should be put to “nine barrels,” which seemed to imply a firing squad, on Thursday night in Arizona.
Meanwhile, the University of Florida’s Election Lab reported that as of 8:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, over 75 million Americans had cast their early ballots.
Of the total number of early votes, 34,374,356 were returned by mail, while 40,719,518 were cast in person.
