Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, stated this week that he believes it is imperative to “fight fire with fire” against the Democratic Party, citing the party’s “very evil” nature.
In an interview with podcast presenter Lex Fridman that aired on Tuesday, Trump made the remarks while discussing how Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is “a Marxist.”
Fridman attempted to defend Harris by asserting that “a significant number of individuals” do not believe she is a communist.
In response, Trump stated that Harris and her father were both “Marxists.”
“There’s a lot of people that know the way government works and they say, well, none of those policies are going to actually come to reality. It’s just being used during the campaign to … Groceries are too expensive. We need them cheaper, so let’s talk about price controls. And that’s never going to come to reality.” Fridman said.
“Look, she came out with price control. It’s been tried like 121 different times at different places over the years, and it’s never worked once. It leads to communism, it leads to socialism, it leads to having no food on the shelves, and it leads to tremendous inflation.” Trump said in response.
“It’s interesting though, they’ll call me something that’s terrible and then I’ll hit them back and they’ll say, ‘Isn’t it terrible what Trump said?’ I believe you have to fight fire with fire. I believe they’re very evil people. These are evil people. We have an enemy from the outside and we have an enemy from within. And in my opinion, the enemy from within are radical Left lunatics. And I think you have to fight back.” Trump concluded.
