Trump pledges to 'fire' Biden at massive New Jersey rally
As Breitbart reported, former President Donald Trump hosted a massive rally in Wildwood, New Jersey over the weekend.
At one point during his speech, Trump pledged to reprise his role from "The Apprentice" and fire the current White House occupant.
"Joe Biden, you're fired, get out of here"
"It's time to set other differences aside and come together, get the job done for America. We’re going to Make America Great Again and we’re going to do it fast," Trump told the sprawling crowd on Saturday afternoon.

"And, we're going to look at Biden – I'm sure nobody ever saw 'The Apprentice,' that was a big hit. That was a big powerful hit," the former president recalled.
But, I'm going to look at that guy and I’m going to say, 'Joe Biden, you're the worst ever. Joe Biden, you're fired, get out of here, you're fired.' Get out of here, Joe," Trump said to a chorus of cheers.
Trump points to growing inflation
He then stressed the toll inflation has taken on Americans, complaining of how "[i] the past three years, the average New Jersey family has lost twenty-three thousand three hundred and eighty-one dollars to the inflation tax."
"That's a hell of a lot," Trump declared before adding, "And, frankly, they're using fake numbers because they don't include the worst numbers."
"And the Biden price hikes are continuing to drain over $1,000 from the typical New Jersey family budget every single month. So, that’s $1,000, that’s $12,000 for a family," he pointed out.
"I just had a hot dog and it was very good, so the price of hot dogs is up 22 percent, chicken’s up 32 percent, hamburgers are up 37 percent. That’s why I had the hot dog, it went up the least,” Trump added.
Gas prices have jumped since Biden took office
"Soda's up 30 percent, eggs are up 50 percent, gasoline’s up 50 percent, bacon is up 79 percent. Bacon. That’s why I don’t have bacon anymore," the Republican candidate joked.
"It's too expensive. Not one thing is cheaper, there’s not one thing anywhere. There’s not one item that’s cheaper. Energy is way up," he noted.
Trump's remarks are supported by a graph published by the consumer website Finder.com. It shows that the national average price for a gallon of gas stood at $2.39 the day after Biden took office.
According to the American Automobile Association's (AAA) website, the average national price was $3.62 cents as of Sunday.
