Resurfaced footage of Kamala Harris has stunned the internet after she accurately predicted the economic turmoil caused by Donald Trump’s tariffs.
As markets struggle and global economies react, her words during the 2024 election have proven eerily accurate.
Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ speech sparks economic chaos
On April 2, 2025, Trump announced sweeping global tariffs in his Liberation Day speech from the White House Rose Garden. He framed the move as a victory for American industry but triggered immediate economic turmoil.
Stock markets lost $2 trillion in seconds. Investors scrambled to buy gold, abandoning major corporations. Countries hit by new tariffs, including China, quickly retaliated.
Sharing his plans from the White House’s Rose Garden, the POTUS said: “This is Liberation Day. We’ve been waiting for a long time, April 2, 2025, will forever be remembered as the day American industry was reborn, the day America’s destiny was reclaimed, and the day that we began to ‘Make America Wealthy Again’.
“For decades our country has been looted, pillaged, raped and plundered from nations, near and far, from both friend and foe alike.”
Harris warned of economic collapse during the 2024 election
A resurfaced CNN clip shows Kamala Harris predicting the negative consequences of Trump’s economic policies months before his tariff announcement. During a live debate, she warned voters of the risks.
In the video, you can hear Harris state: “What Goldman Sachs has said is that Donald Trump’s plan would make the economy worse,” Harris stated. “What the Wharton School has said is Donald Trump’s plan would actually explode the deficit.”
She also highlighted concerns from financial experts.
She added during the argument between her and Trump: “16 Nobel laureates have described his economic plan as something that would increase inflation, and by the middle of next year, would invite a recession. You just have to look at where we are and where we stand on the issues, and I’d invite you to know that Donald Trump actually has no plan for you, because he is more interested in defending himself than he is in looking out for you.”
Her warnings now seem prophetic as economists sound the alarm over rising inflation and a looming recession.
Social media reacts
Many people online are now recognizing Harris’s predictions. Reddit users reacted with frustration over the situation.
“She warned us all so many f***** times. It’s a shame 27% of the population refused to listen,” one person wrote.
Another user sarcastically noted, “Yeah, but the recession came in just 4 months, not 6. Checkmate libs.”
Others pointed out Trump’s own contradictions.
“Trump said if I voted for Kamala the economy would be destroyed and the stock market would crash. Here we are less than 3 months into his presidency and he’s been proven right. Lol.”
The online conversation highlights the growing frustration with Trump’s economic policies.
Economists warn that tariffs could Trigger a U.S. recession
Financial experts are already seeing the consequences of Trump’s tariffs. Paul Donovan, chief economist at UBS Global Wealth Management, believes the U.S. is on the verge of a downturn.
“The American economy was in a very good place at the beginning of the year,” Donovan told CNN. “If these tariffs continue as they are, (it will) probably tip into recession.”
A JPMorgan analyst also raised concerns about inflation.
“This year’s cumulative tariff hike should be viewed as a U.S. tax increase of roughly $660 billion,” the analyst said. “The impact on inflation will be substantial.”
If these predictions hold true, Trump’s economic strategy may backfire, causing financial instability rather than prosperity.
