In a sweeping speech on Friday, former president Donald Trump launched a scathing critique of Vice President Kamala Harris, describing her as a “low-IQ person” with “disastrous” economic policies that he warned would lead the country to a “1929-style depression.”

At a campaign rally in Detroit, Michigan — a key battleground state where he is set to hold his final rally Monday night —  Trump vowed to save the economy “from total obliteration” and outlined his plan to “build American, buy American, and hire American.”

“We will end Kamala’s economic disaster and launch a brand-new Trump economic miracle,” he declared. Trump claimed that Harris’s economic agenda had recently wiped out nearly 30,000 private sector jobs and over 50,000 manufacturing jobs in a short span of time, adding, “You lost 50,000 manufacturing jobs.” He asserted that under Harris’s “nation-wrecking policies, the American worker is absolutely drowning.”

Promising to “stop the criminal invasion of the country” and lead America into a “new golden age,” he further described Harris as a “radical left Marxist” and claimed she was worse than Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. According to Trump, Harris was involved in creating the “Defund the Police” movement, which he called a policy unworthy of any presidential candidate.

“Kamala vowed to abolish ICE, pledged to confiscate your guns… and even called for free sex changes for illegal aliens in detention, all at taxpayer expense. But perhaps most significant of all, she lied about working at McDonald’s. She never worked there,” Trump claimed.

He promised, “With your vote this November, we’re going to fire Kamala and we’re going to save America. We will cut your taxes, end inflation, lower prices, raise wages, and bring back thousands of factories to America and to Detroit, Michigan.”

Trump also said he would end the war in Ukraine, adding, “It would never have started if I were president.” He pledged to restore stability in the Middle East, prevent World War III, and provide police with the resources, support, and respect they need.

“We will strengthen and modernise our military and build the world’s largest missile defence shield, made right here in the USA—much of it in Michigan,” he stated. He also committed to revitalising cities like Washington, D.C., making them “safe, clean, and beautiful again.”

Trump promised that children would be taught to love their country, respect its history, and honour the American flag. He mentioned a proposal to make flag-burning punishable by a year in jail. “We will get critical race theory and gender ideology out of our schools, and we’ll keep men out of women’s sports,” he added. He also vowed to defend religious liberty and uphold free speech.

He emphasised his commitment to the Second Amendment, promising to defend Americans’ right to bear arms. “After years of building up foreign nations, protecting foreign borders, and defending foreign lands, we are finally going to build up our own country, defend our own borders, and protect our own citizens,” he said.

“We will stop illegal immigration once and for all. We will not be invaded, overrun, or occupied. We will be a free, proud nation once again. Everyone will prosper, every family will thrive, and each day will be filled with opportunity and hope—above all, with the American Dream,” Trump concluded.
