Former President Trump's economic 'card'

Campaigning in Savannah, Georgia, on September 24, former President Donald Trump pledged that if elected, he would bring manufacturing jobs from overseas to the US, creating jobs and boosting the economy . "We're going to take jobs from other countries. We're going to take their factories," Fox News quoted him as saying, declaring that "reviving manufacturing" would be the focus of his economic plan.

Attract investment

Specifically, Mr. Trump said he would offer tax incentives and cut regulations, leading to a "rush" of investment from allied countries such as Germany, South Korea, or economic rival China.

"I want German car companies to become American car companies. I want them to build factories here," he said, threatening to impose high tariffs on imports. Earlier on September 23, he announced that he would impose a 200% tariff on imported products from John Deere Corporation if the US farm equipment manufacturer moved production to Mexico as planned. He also threatened to impose a 100% tariff on all cars imported from Mexico. "The only way they can get rid of that tariff is to build a factory right here in the US," he said.

For companies in the US, he reiterated his commitment to cutting the corporate tax rate to 15% from 21% and creating preferential tax zones on federal land.

Strong warning

Not only did the former president make promises, he also made many threats about worrying prospects for the people if he lost the election.

Campaigning in Indiana, Pennsylvania, on September 23, he said that electricity prices would skyrocket and bankrupt agricultural businesses if his rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, won. "You won't be able to keep your farms for much longer," he warned.

According to CNN, this is a familiar warning tone, as he often conjures up a vision of a country ravaged by crime, economic decline and an “invasion” of immigrants. Meanwhile, most politicians appeal to voters with optimistic visions, inspiring hope and promising change. Ms. Harris is seeking to erase Mr. Trump’s bleak picture of the future with a vision of an “economy of opportunity.” She promises to cut taxes for middle-class and low-income families and reduce the cost of prescription drugs.

Observers say Mr. Trump’s message is still effective with some voters, when high costs and job problems are concerns for many. After the campaign, Mr. Trump stopped by a store in the town of Kittanning, Pennsylvania, and paid for a woman’s food. “Here, it’s only $100. We’ll do it for you from the White House,” he pledged.

Shots fired at Harris campaign office
