If elected, Democrat nominee Joe Biden will "shut down everything" while increasing government control and taxes, Donald Trump Jr. warned Tuesday.
"You only get one shot at a V-shaped recovery," the president's son told Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo. "Another lockdown would destroy America for generations to come."
But harming the economy is "Joe Biden's specialty," Trump Jr. said. "He did that with NAFTA. He did that with TPP. He did that shilling for China in their permanent status in the World Trade Organization for half a century. He's done nothing good for America and American jobs. He's been really good at exporting our American dream."
The choice between Trump's reelection and Biden winning the vote is the difference between "freedom versus tyranny, democracy versus socialism and marxism, which is today's Democrat Party platform," the president's son added.
He also complained that Biden is the most "corrupted and compromised candidate" in U.S. history and that the Democrat Party has become a "radical Marxist party" rather than being what it was in the past.
He also accused big tech and the mainstream media of suppressing what Biden represents as a candidate.
"If they can arguably have the most corrupted and compromised candidate in U.S. history ... he's got deals for the family with China and Ukraine and Russia," said Trump Jr. "These aren't the most blue-chip countries and they're on the Biden family payroll."
The president's son also appeared on Fox News' "Fox and Friends," where he said that a Biden administration should "scare all Americans."
"You are voting for freedom this time around,' he said. "Watch what the blue states are doing ... this Democrat party is no longer rational or reasonable. They are radical. They are radical leftists and they have to be stopped."
