US President Donald Trump weighed in on Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s choice of Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate Tuesday, saying he was surprised by the decision.
In a press briefing at the White House, Trump said Harris wants to raise taxes, establish socialized medicine, slash funds for the military and take away fracking. “She was nastier than probably Pocahontas to Joe Biden” during the Democratic primary debates in 2019, he said, referring to Senator Elizabeth Warren.
“CHINA WILL OWN THE US IF BIDEN WINS”
Later in the night in an interview with conservative talk-show host Hugh Hewitt, Trump blasted China, saying the country is pulling for a win from former Vice President Joe Biden.
“If I don’t win the election, China will own the United States,” Trump claimed. “You’re gonna have to learn to speak Chinese.”
“They’ll own the United State if he wins, and with me, they were having the worst year in 67 years because I tariffed the hell out of them,” Trump added.
Citing statistics about coronavirus cases in other countries, Trum said that the US is handling the pandemic better than anyone else, including Europe and Latin America. “Last week, France and Germany both recorded their highest daily number of new cases in three months,” he claimed. “
The US topped 5 million coronavirus cases over the weekend, which means the country has about a quarter of global cases and also tops the list with the most reported deaths.
