Trump Ridicules Harris' Economic Plans Using Tic Tacs

News summary

Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell criticized Vice President Kamala Harris' economic plans to address high prices, calling them 'totally unworkable' and potentially harmful to markets. Harris proposed a federal ban on 'price gouging' of groceries and aid for homebuyers, but Rampell warned such measures could lead to increased collusion among companies. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump ridiculed Harris' policies and the Biden administration's handling of inflation, using Tic Tacs as a prop during a North Carolina rally to illustrate his point. Trump compared a standard and a mini Tic Tac box to suggest product shrinkage due to inflation, although the mini box is a common travel size. Trump also accused Harris of copying his campaign ideas and criticized her intelligence, claiming she would worsen the economic crisis if elected. Despite Trump's assertions, recent reports show that consumer prices have only slightly increased, with annual inflation dropping to 2.9%.
