Former President Donald Trump referenced his famous words from “The Apprentice,” a reality television show that aired from 2004 to 2017, during a rally in Wildwood, New Jersey. He mentioned that if he were to win the 2024 presidential election, he would tell President Joe Biden that he was “fired.”
At the rally, Trump highlighted the desires of Americans for strong borders, the American dream, and safer communities, contrasting them with what he called the “Biden inflation nightmare” and the “weakness and chaos” under the current administration.
Trump urged unity and productivity for the country, stating, “We’re going to Make America Great Again and we’re going to do it fast.” He jokingly expressed his plan to tell President Biden, “Joe Biden, you’re the worst ever. Joe Biden, you’re fired, get out of here.”
He also addressed the issue of inflation, emphasizing its negative impact on families in New Jersey. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported an increase in prices in the New York-Newark-Jersey City area, while the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee found a rise in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers in New Jersey.
Furthermore, Trump highlighted the significant increase in grocery prices, citing examples like hot dogs, chicken, and gasoline, all experiencing substantial price hikes. He criticized the rise in energy costs and emphasized the general trend of prices going up across various consumer goods.
