SHAKE IT OFF
Bonkers moment Donald Trump shakes Tic Tacs at crowd while slamming Kamala Harris as ex-president rages about inflation
This wasn't the first time the former president used the candy as a demonstration
DONALD Trump used nothing less than a tiny packet of Tic Tacs to mock the Biden-Harris administration on Wednesday.
The former president, 78, shook the minty treats at a crowd in Asheville, North Carolina in a dramatic show to prove the dire state of inflation.

He fished through his suit jacket pocket and presented a pack to the crowd, claiming the company was "so lucky" and it was the "greatest commercial they ever had."
"This is Tic Tacs," he said about a normal-sized pack in the video posted on C-Span.
Trump then revealed a mini, 7-piece, Tic Tac pack in his other hand saying, "But that's what happened. This is inflation."
"This is Tic Tac. This is Tic Tac. This is inflation. This is what's happened."

He continued, "I just happened to have someone give me this one today," Trump explained about the mini pack.
"I said 'I think we'll put it up as an example of inflation.'"
Trump blamed the appalling inflation crisis on Joe Biden's policies over the last three-and-a-half years.
The former president previously used the metaphor at a rally in Minneapolis.

'CAREER-THREATENING'
During Wednesday's rally, Trump also slammed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and said was only part of the race because "their fighter was losing."
"She had a lack of skill and people didn't like her and now she's running for president and she never got one vote," Trump said of the vice president.

He added that when Harris shares her "fake" economic plan this week, it "will probably be a copy of my plan."
Trump also said Harris' laugh was one of "a crazy person" and it was "career-threatening."
The former president has often criticized Harris' position in office as the vice president, wondering why she didn't take action the last four years.
"She says her plan is going to be to bring down prices. She thinks she's going to bring down prices," Trump said.
Trump's main policy points
DONALD Trump closed the Republican National Convention on July 18, telling supporters he wanted to become president for "all Americans.
- Implementing tax cuts, including no tax on tips
- Protecting Social Security and Medicare - Trump said 'incomes will skyrocket and the middle class will prosper like never before'
- Protecting borders - He pledged to end the 'border nightmare.' That means two things on day one - 'Drill baby Drill,' as he said, and close the borders
- Finishing building the wall
- Keeping our 'sons and daughters safe'
- Replenishing the military and building a military 'dome' - Trump insisted he could stop wars with just a phone call and said no military would be able to penetrate the USA if he came into office
- Ending the war in Ukraine and imposing tariffs on Iran
- Vowing to "beat" China
- Working to decrease prices and ease inflation
- Bringing down the cost of energy
- Making cities 'safe, clean and beautiful' again
- Making it possible for Americans to buy gas-run cars by ending the electric vehicle mandate on the first day of his presidency
"Then why, here's a simple few words, why didn't you do it, Kamala? Why didn't you do it? You've been there three-and-a-half years. Why aren't you doing it now? You can do it right now."
He later said Harris "won't end the economic crisis, she will only make it worse" and that "she can't solve the problem because she is the problem."
'AMERICA ISN'T GREAT'
Harris has been repeatedly ridiculed for her lack of press conferences since taking the spot on the Democratic ticket on July 21.
Since late July, she has appeared at six campaign rallies — in Georgia, Texas, Nevada, Wisconsin, and North Carolina — but has failed to hold any one-on-one interviews to discuss her policies.
In a recent, brief moment with reporters on the tarmac, Harris said she, "I've talked to my team. I want us to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month."
However, no interviews with the vice president have been announced.
During his rally, Trump shared why he thinks Harris hasn't done an interview yet.

"She's not smart. She's not intelligent. And we've gone through enough of that with this guy, crooked Joe," he explained.
"The American dream is dead. America isn't great."
