After Markets Tank, Trump Wastes No Time in Blasting Harris for The 'Kamala Crash' in Brutal Ad


Bob Hoge reporting for RedState 

After Monday’s blowout at the stock market—the Dow lost over 1,000 points, or almost three percent, while other markets around the world tanked too—the "Trump War Room" dropped an explosive ad blasting current Vice President and presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Harris for the “Kamala Crash.”

We have seen some good campaign ads from the Trump campaign team in the past, but this one really cracked me up. They didn’t really need to do much but splice clips of Cackling Kamala next to actual news headlines of the day. 

Here’s how it starts:

1st ANNOUNCER: Here we go, look at them [stock indexes] go down. What some would call “history in the making.”

2nd ANNOUNCER: We have never been down 1,000 points ever -- not even intraday on the NASDAQ. 

CUT TO: A gleeful kamala Harris. 

KAMALA [grinning from ear to ear]: Bidenomics is working. It's working! 

By this point, I’m already laughing. Of course, it’s the editing that makes it funny; she didn’t actually say that today. In fact, Team Biden-Harris stopped using the term Bidenomics months ago because they realized nobody was buying their gaslighting. 

The ad continued to show grim economic news followed again by clips of Harris giggling and touting “Bidenomics!” as if it were a miracle new medicine. Just let her talk. Her record (or lack thereof) speaks for itself and it gives you a remarkably effective takedown of her qualifications for the top job. 

WATCH: 


Bad day on Wall Street:

With 'Bidenomics' Burning the World Alive, the Nation's Eyes Will Gravitate to Trump

Team Biden Pulls Away From Touting 'Bidenomics.'

Perhaps Trump HQ was reading RedState’s Joe Cunningham?

Kamala Harris Said 'Bidenomics Is Working' in 2023. Republicans Shouldn't Let Voters Forget It.


My favorite moment came when Fox Business Network financial journalist Charles Payne expressed perfectly what so many Americans have been experiencing since this team came into office:

What you’re seeing right now in the stock market is what Americans have been feeling for the last three years…

Exactly, Mr. Payne. While the stock market hasn't been the total disaster that some predicted under this regime (until now, at least), Bidenflation and high interest rates mean that the regular guy and gal aren’t feeling it. In fact, they’re having heart palpitations every time they see their grocery bills.

The GOP presidential nominee posted multiple social media jabs at Harris, noting that she’d already helped destroy San Francisco, so we don’t need her doing that to the rest of the country as well:

This ad is a smart way to let Kamala herself tell us her record. And what a record it is, as RedState's Bonchie points out. Her number one accomplishment seems to be breaking the record for casting the most tie-breaking votes in the Senate--many of which led to the passing of massive spending packages that have caused the soaring inflation we've experienced. Way to go, Kamala.

My unsolicited advice to the Trump War Room: just show Kamala's words and deeds spliced together with the reality of what's going on in the real world, just like you did here. Rinse, lather, repeat.
