Republican Presidential nominee and former US President Donald Trump engaged in a candid conversation on Spaces with Tesla and X Chief Elon Musk on Monday.
During the chat, Trump, who is set to face off against US Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming November election, sharply criticised his Democratic opponent. He described Harris as being “further left” and argued that her policies would lead to an increased influx of illegal immigrants into the United States.
“I think a lot of people thought the Biden administration would be a moderate administration, but it’s not. We’re just going to see an even further-left administration with Kamala. That’s my honest opinion,” Trump said to Musk, PTI reported.
“We don’t have a president right now — and Kamala is even worse. She’s a San Francisco liberal who destroyed that city, destroyed California, and will destroy our country if she is elected,” he added.
Trump accused Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden administration of making it easier for illegal immigrants to enter the country. “If Kamala gets in, we will have 50-60 million illegals from all over the world ferried right into our country. The number of illegals Kamala has welcomed into our communities is much bigger than we think. Countries are emptying their prisons — and sending them to our country. They’re bringing crime and violence to our backyards,” he claimed.
Donald Trump also slammed Biden’s administration for squandering their time in office and failing to address the needs of the American people. According to Trump, the government is “defective,” with millions of people entering the country each month, while Kamala Harris allegedly attempts to appear as though she is taking action.
During his first presidential campaign, Donald Trump ran on the slogan “Make America Great Again,” and he is once again championing this cause, asserting that the American economy is in a state of disaster under Biden.
“People want the American Dream back more than anything else. You don’t have that today because the people running our country just suck—they’re incompetent. The economy is a disaster with inflation… Four years ago, people were saving a lot of money. Today, they’re spending all their money and borrowing just to live,” Trump remarked.
Trump also pledged that, if elected, he would ensure the safety of the United States from any threat, particularly nuclear threats, which he emphasised are more significant than climate change.
An Iron Dome similar to Israel’s was promised by Trump, stating, “We’re going to build an Iron Dome. Israel has it. We’re going to have the best Iron Dome in the world. We need it, and we’re going to make it all in the United States. We’re going to have protection.”
Elon Musk, who has publicly endorsed Trump’s presidential bid, explained that the importance of a secure future was the reason behind his support. “The things I think are important for the future: we’ve got to have safe cities, secure borders, sensible spending, and deregulation… that’s why I’m supporting you for President,” Musk said.
