‘Losing his edge’: Why Donald Trump’s ‘strongest’ issue the economy, is starting to fall flat

John Heilelmann, MSNBC National Affairs Analyst and Amanda Carpenter, Writer and Editor for Protect Democracy join Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House with reaction to the contrasting economic visions between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris and why the issue that was the tentpole of his campaign, where he polled better than his opponent is longer resonating with American voters.

TFG's so-called economic 'plan' of import tariffs, a federal sales tax and further tax cuts for corporations and the 1% would be disastrous for inflation, income inequality, the national debt and quality of life for ALL average Americans. Don't take my word for it, read the Wharton Business school analysis for yourself.

Tariffs, silver coins, crypto, NFTs, Trump Bibles... Obviously, a master economist.

Trump was a molotov cocktail to the system. After 10 years of the same shtick, the magic and shock value have worn off!

[karlamason]

Meanwhile DJT is in NC saying "I lost in 2020 by a whisker" again. Just another incriminating statement. 🤷‍♂️

I'm voting for decency for the sake of my kids.

The difference between her speeches and his ramblings. Her: Positivity, hope, inspiration, pride, big tent. Him: Negativity, doom, discouragement, shame, isolation

[Arigna]

Stop dancing like a fool Donald Trump LOL

[Wolfboss]

It's frustrating, sad, and downright appalling that it took this long for people to start to realize the guy with multiple bankruptcies and who left the economy in tatters when he left office might not be the best for the economy.

[LudwigVan]

Losing his edge would indicate he had an edge in the first place. He’s a caricature of a candidate; not even close to a serious person. A vaudevillian selling elixirs.

[spike]

Kamala, a great sense of direction, educated, sensible, and just plain cares ... no matter who you are, .... 💙💙💙

[terrencekane]

Madam President Kamala Harris
Get used to it Magahats

[yetison]

Kamala Harris is proving with facts, that she can manage and organize the economy of the U.S., just by choosing the right people to run operations, like choosing the right people to run her campaign.

[mrsjenz]

Wow, the Ruskies are really swarming the comments section today. Panic mode activated 🇷🇺 😂😂😂

[Acer_Maximinus]

“…like a ceo”
While trump runs his campaign like a feckless, old mob boss.🤦‍♂️

[juancarlosrufastoaguilar]

*Economy is not Trump's strong suit. A straight jacket is!!*

[Kenneth-nx]

Vote out all right wing politicians in November and vote Harris/Walz for American freedom and democracy in November ♡♡♡🎉🎉

[lindseysobocinski]

A presidential campaign speech that is easy to follow, makes logical and fiscal sense, and is a message of hope and not destruction and doom… say what?? 🙌🏻💙

[vanl]

Trump finally realizes he actually tanked the economy with COVID…It was the worse economy since the Great Depression. Trump anticipated losing the 2020 Election….remember he did a really bad job overall, and tanked our economy on top of it.

[molms]

Trump supporters: do you even listen to the drivel he’s spouting?
