Trump warns US will land in a ‘1929-style depression’ if Harris wins election
Former President Donald Trump declared during his Fox News town hall on Wednesday that the U.S. will fall into an economic depression if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the general election on Nov. 5. “This country will end up in a depression if she becomes president. Like 1929, this will be a 1929 depression. She has no idea what the hell she’s doing,” Trump said from the New Holland Arena in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. “I gave you the biggest tax cuts in the history of our country. If you let them. If you let the Trump tax cuts expire, which she wants to do, she wants to terminate them. If you do that, you will suffer the biggest tax increase in history. There’s never been a tax increase like it, on top of which she wants to add a lot of tax,” Trump argued of Harris’ economic agenda. Trump joined Fox News’ Sean Hannity for the town hall on Wednesday evening, when he spoke about top voter concerns, including the economy and ongoing inflation woes. Harris proposed a 28% tax on long-term capital gains on Wednesday for households pulling in an annual income of $1 million per year, which is lower than President Biden’s proposed 39.6% rate in his 2025 fiscal year budget. HERE’S WHAT KAMALA HARRIS’ TAX ARMAGEDDON WILL COST YOU AND THE US ECONOMY “What if unrealized capital gains taxes were implemented, what would that do?” Hannity asked Trump following the Harris campaign’s announcement. “She wants to do that. This is where you have something, you don’t even know what the value is. I tell you what, if that’s going to happen, go out and open an appraisal company because you’re going to make a fortune. That’s about the only group that’s going to make it. And accountants, it is the craziest idea,” Trump responded. “And remember this, very rich people and big international corporations, they don’t have to stay in the United States, and they will be forced to leave for other countries. They can’t afford to do a thing like that. They may have great wealth and no cash, and they’re going to have to pay cash. Where are they going to get the cash? If they do that, the unrealized capital gain, it’s, you know, it’s been talked about for a few years by ultra-left Marxists,” he continued. Trump then said Harris’ father is a Marxist economist. WHO IS KAMALA HARRIS’ ‘COMBATIVE MARXIST ECONOMIST’ FATHER, DONALD J. HARRIS? “Her father’s a Marxist teacher of economics. Can you believe this? But if that happened, this country and I think forgetting about that … shes got a lot of things that are just as bad. If she gets in, I think we will have a depression, 1929-style depression. That’s what I think will happen to our country already. They’ve set us on a path,” he said. NUMBERS SHOW HARRIS TAX PROPOSAL WOULD GIVE TO SMALL BUSINESS WITH ONE HAND, TAKE WITH THE OTHER Harris’ father, Donald J. Harris, who coincidentally shares the same first name as Trump, is a retired Stanford University professor of economics, whose economic background is steeped in Marxist theory, which earned him the description from the Economist this year as a “combative Marxist economist.” Trump also brushed off Harris characterizing crippling inflation as “price gouging” and her vow to install price controls on companies to combat the issue if elected to the Oval Office. “Every time it’s been tried, no matter over hundreds of years, not just over hundreds of years, price controls, you end up with no product. You end up with massive inflation, and you end up with [destruction],” Trump said.

Where Vance and Walz favorability ratings stand 60 days to Election Day
Sen. JD Vance is trailing behind Gov. Tim Walz in favorability ratings as the pair push toward Election Day, according to a new poll from USA Today and Suffolk University. A survey conducted after the Democratic National Convention in Chicago found that 36% of likely voters have a favorable view of Vance, while 48% approve of Walz. Former President Trump’s running mate fared similarly among independents, where 47% said they had an unfavorable view of Vance, but just 36% said they had an unfavorable view of Walz, who is running alongside Vice President Kamala Harris. USA Today and Suffolk University surveyed 1,000 likely voters from August 25-28 over cellphone and landlines. The poll advertises a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. The polling comes after Vance has adopted a media blitz strategy of accepting interviews even with outlets seen as hostile to the Trump campaign. Meanwhile, Walz and Harris have faced criticism for their relative lack of media transparency. KAMALA HARRIS HAS YET TO DO FORMAL PRESS CONFERENCE SINCE EMERGING AS DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE Harris and Walz conducted a joint, pre-recorded interview with CNN’s Dana Bash last week, but the pair have avoided more rigorous press events. Trump and Vance have sat down for at least 38 combined interviews since Harris revealed Walz as her running mate. KAMALA HARRIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ‘PUSHED HARDER’ ON BIDEN’S MENTAL FITNESS DURING INTERVIEW: WAPO COLUMNISTS Since Aug. 6, Trump has spoken with Fox News’ “Life, Liberty & Levin” host Mark Levin, NBC News, the Daily Mail, Dr. Phil, Fox News’ Alicia Acuna, Hugh Hewitt Radio, FOX Business, podcaster Theo Von, the New York Post, WBRE News Wilkes-Barre, WLOS News 13 Asheville, Univision, and “FOX & Friends” twice. He’s also made at least two other cable news appearances and sat down with supporter Elon Musk for a lengthy conversation, according to a Fox News Digital review. The former president also sat down with podcaster Lex Fridman in an interview that was posted on Tuesday and a New Hampshire radio show on Wednesday, followed by a town hall with Fox News host Sean Hannity.

Vance also appeared on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” on Tuesday. Fox News’ Brian Flood contributed to this report

Top 5 moments from Trump’s Fox News town hall in key battleground state: ‘World War III territory’
Former President Donald Trump joined Fox News’ Sean Hannity in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where he fielded top policy questions weighing on voters in the key battleground state, just days ahead of his first debate against Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump spoke before a crowd of voters during the Hannity-moderated town hall at the New Holland Arena in the Keystone State, which has again emerged as a crucial state this election cycle that will likely help determine the outcome on Nov. 5. Trump won the state in 2016 when he earned 44,292 more votes than the Democratic nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The state then elected President Biden in his match-up against Trump in 2020 at a 1.17% margin. Both Harris and Trump have repeatedly visited Pennsylvania in recent weeks, with Harris most recently joining the state on Monday with Biden in the president’s first campaign event for the Harris-Walz ticket since he bowed out of the race in July. Ahead of the Fox News town hall, Trump was most recently in PA last Friday at a rally in Johnstown, in the western part of the state. Trump was also attending a Pennsylvania campaign rally in July when a shooter attempted to assassinate the 45th president, injuring him, two others and killing a local father and fireman, Corey Comperatore. 2024 SHOWDOWN: TRUMP HEADS TO A CRUCIAL BATTLEGROUND STATE FOR A FOX NEWS TOWN HALL MODERATED BY HANNITY Trump and Harris will take the same stage next week on Tuesday, when the election foes will again travel to Pennsylvania, for their first, and perhaps only, debate, which will be held in Philadelphia. Fox News Digital compiled the top five moments of Trump’s town hall as he gears up for his debate against Harris. Trump vowed to “heal our world” if he’s re-elected after Hannity cited the mass shooting in Georgia that left at least four people dead and Trump’s heightened security following the assassination attempt on his life in July. “It’s a sick and angry world for a lot of reasons and we’re going to make it better. We’re going to heal our world. We’re going to get rid of all these wars that are starting all over the place because of incompetence,” Trump said Wednesday from the New Holland Arena in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. “We’re going to hopefully do very well. We have an election coming up … We’re going to be, I think, we’re going to be very well set up to do a great job,” Trump added. TRUMP VOWS TO ‘HEAL OUR WORLD’ AFTER FATAL GEORGIA SCHOOL SHOOTING: ‘SICK AND ANGRY’ At least four people were killed Wednesday at Apalachee High School, when 14-year-old suspect Colt Gray allegedly opened fire around the 10 a.m. hour. Officials said the four victims killed were two students and two teachers. An additional nine others were injured in the shooting. Trump warned the U.S. is heading towards “World War III territory” as wars abroad rage under the Biden-Harris administration, whom he slammed as “clowns.” “We’re heading into World War III territory, and because of the power of weapons, nuclear weapons in particular, but other weapons also, and I know the weapons better than anybody because I’m the one that bought them,” Trump said from the New Holland Arena in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. “We won’t have World War III when I’m elected. But with these clowns that you have in there now, you’re going to end up having World War III, and it’s going to be a war … like no other.” War broke out in Ukraine in 2022, when Russia invaded the nation. Another war broke out in the Middle East last October, when Hamas terrorists launched attacks on Israel. TRUMP WARNS US APPROACHING ‘WORLD WAR III TERRITORY’ UNDER BIDEN-HARRIS ADMIN: ‘CLOWNS’ Trump argued that if he were in the Oval Office over the last three and a half years, wars would not have sparked in Ukraine or Israel. “We have things going on in the world right now with Israel and with the Middle East. … It’s blowing up. We have Ukraine and Russia. That would never happen. That would have never happened. October 7th would have never happened if I were the president. It would have never happened. And everybody knows it. Iran was broke. They didn’t have the money for Hamas and for Hezbollah. They didn’t have the money for anybody. They wanted to get by, and we would have made a fair deal with them,” he said. Trump slammed Harris for spiraling illegal immigration that has plagued the U.S. since 2021, citing that “she was in charge of the border” as illegal immigration surged to record levels. TRUMP RIPS ‘BORDER CZAR’ HARRIS IN FOX TOWN HALL: ‘WORST BORDER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD’ “They want open borders,” Trump told Hannity. “She wants open borders. Now she’s all of a sudden said, oh, I think we’re closing the borders. She was the border czar, whether you like it or not, but even if you don’t want to use that term. She was in charge of the border.” “It’s the worst border in the history of the world, not just here. There’s never been a country that allowed 21 million people to come in over a three-year period. There’s never been. And 21 million people, many of whom are from prisons, many of whom are murderers and drug dealers and child traffickers.” Immigration is the second most important issue to voters, behind the economy, heading into the 2024 election, according to recent Fox News polling. NYT COLUMNIST DETAILS SCENARIO IN WHICH ‘TRUMP WINS’ AND KAMALA HARRIS, DEMOCRATS ‘BLOW IT’ “And, by the way, women traffickers, you know, women trafficking is the biggest, and they’re traffickers in women. And they’re coming in now and they’re putting them in our Social Security accounts, and they’re putting them in Medicare. And just one thing, if you take a look, take a look. Over the last week, I said this was going to happen,”

Trump touts foreign policy chops at Fox News town hall: ‘I was the toughest on Russia’
Former President Donald Trump told a Fox News town hall in Pennsylvania on Wednesday night that he was the “toughest” on Russia and that several global conflicts would not have happened under his watch. “I was the toughest on Russia. Putin would even say, you know, if you’re not the toughest guy, you are, you’re killing us,” Trump told Sean Hannity while discussing his actions opposing the Nord Stream pipeline. “I’d hate to see you if you were really tough.” “This was the biggest job they’ve ever had and I stopped it.” Trump continued, “We have things going on in the world right now with Israel and with the Middle East, it’s blowing up. It’s blowing up. We have Ukraine and Russia. That would never happen. That would have never happened. October 7th would have never happened. If I were the president, they would have never happened. And everybody knows it.” REPUBLICANS DIVIDED ON RUSSIA’S SECURITY THREAT AS VANCE JOINS TRUMP PRESIDENTIAL TICKET Trump went on to say that the “whole world” was a safe place during his presidency. “That was the question they asked Viktor Orban, who is considered a very strong man. They said, ‘he’s a strong man,’” Trump said. “Sometimes you need a strong man. He’s a strong man. He’s the prime minister of Hungary.” “And he said, you bring back Trump, everybody. Now I’m not saying it, but he said it because I’d rather say respect. But he said everybody was afraid of Trump. You bring him back, you’re not going to have any problems. It’s all going to go away. The world is blowing up.” 2 RUSSIA-BASED RT EMPLOYEES INDICTED BY US, INTERNET DOMAINS SEIZED IN ELECTION INFLUENCE PROBE Trump pointed to the various problems going on around the world and said, “We’re heading into World War three territory.” Recent Fox News polling shows that 4% of voters rank foreign policy as their most important issue heading into the 2024 election. The polling shows that voters favor Trump by 5 points in terms of who is better positioned to handle foreign policy.
