The latest episode in the political circus features former President Donald Trump bringing the heat toward Vice President Kamala Harris and her questionable economic plans. During a speech in York, Pennsylvania, the former president made it abundantly clear that Harris’s proposals are just hot air—filled with lofty promises, but devoid of any accountability regarding where the cash is coming from. It seems the VP thinks it’s a “mistake” to ask how she plans to foot the bill for her latest spending spree, which hits the wallet at a staggering $1.7 trillion.
Trump’s criticism zeroed in on Harris’s absurd notion that questioning how to finance these proposals is somehow misguided. Let’s be real: when politicians throw around figures like $25,000 for first-time home buyers and a $6,000 child tax credit, the only sensible question is “How do you expect to pay for that?” Instead, Harris resorted to vague rhetoric about “return on investment” without providing any actual math to back it up. Perhaps she took her cues from her own track record—spending without a clue.

Unsurprisingly, Trump pulled no punches in calling out Harris for her lack of financial foresight. He highlighted the irony of a Vice President eager to pedal radical spending schemes while simultaneously promising a debt balloon that would scare the life out of fiscal conservatives everywhere. With red flags flying high, Trump suggested that Harris’s proposals could lead to economic disaster, potentially upending important programs like Social Security and Medicare that millions rely on.
Adding more fuel to the fire, Trump jabbed at the idea that these financial gifts would even extend to first-time home buyers who might not be in the legal framework to qualify. The implication is clear: if the Vice President can’t even clarify her own budget, how can she be trusted to manage the economic welfare of the nation? In the world of politics, this looks an awful lot like someone stepping onto the stage without a script—all flash and no substance.
But it’s not just Trump weighing in on this economic debacle. Analysts and media outlets across the board are joining the fray. Scott Bessent, a seasoned figure in global finance, has publicly labeled Harris as an “economic illiterate,” while even the editorial team at the Washington Post critiqued her inability to present a substantial plan. If nearly everyone from right to left is raising an eyebrow at Harris’s proposals, it begs the question: how is she still at the helm? With the economy hanging in the balance, Americans are left clutching their wallets while wondering when sanity might return to Washington.
