Trump trying to talk about economics actually would be good for a laugh.

He’s such a horrible speaker.

He’s tried to give like 4 “big economic speeches” in a month and they all turn into rambling, but each time the media frames it like the next one is the real speech and the last one didn’t count.

Can’t even get his easy to understand “spend all your money on my legal fees” policy across.
Put Trump in any room, he’ll always be the dumbest man in the room.

His attempt to answer the childcare question was pathetic. I’ve seen better vamping from the kid whose giving a report of “How to kill a mockingbird” and all he has to work with is the book title. At least it was amusing to hear different ways to kill said mockingbird and the look of anger/abhorrence on the teacher’s face.

Trump on affordable Child care:
>”Well, I would do that and we’re sitting down, you know, I was, somebody, we had Senator Marco Rubio and my daughter, Ivanka was sooo..uh..impactful on that issue. It’s very important issue… But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about, that, because, the child care is, child care is ..couldn’t, you know, there’s something you’d have to have it in this country, you have to have it. uh but when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that..they’re not used to but they’ll get used to it very quickly. And it’s not gonna stop them from doing business with us, but they’ll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our Country. Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers we’re talking about including child care…that it’s gonna take care. We’re gonna have. I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time. Coupled with the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all the other things that are going on in our Country. Because I have to stay with child care..I wanna stay with child care but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I’m talking about INCLUDING growth..but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just..uhh..that I just told you about, we’re gonna-bee takin in trillions of dollars. And as much as child care..uhh..is talked about as being expensive, it’s relatively speaking not very expensive compared to the kinda of numbers we’ll be taking in. We’re gonna make this into…..an incredible Country that can afford to take care of it’s people..and then we’ll worry about the rest of the World..let’s help other people. But we’re gonna take care of our Country first, this is about America first, is about Make..America..Great..Again..We have to do it because right now we’re a failing Nation..so we’ll take care of it. Thankyou.”
What in the fuck?
Trump, on his honored Arab guests who were present:
>”And the Arab Nations..we’re very honored to have some of my friends here. With us today………from that part of the World…
But they’re working very hard despite being here..that I NOT BE YOUR PRESIDENT. They Don’t Liiiiike me.”
wtf? Crowd is dead silent..
About China tariffs:
>”That remains in place to this day. They want to take it off but they can’t. Because #1 it’s too much money and #2 we would be invaded by Chinese cars. On top of the other invasions that are taking place..”
Absolute crickets….
About Kamala:
>”It is time to send Komrad Kamala Harris back home to California where crime is rampant and fleeing is the number one occupation”
The silence is palpable.
Edit: Transcribed Trump’s full answer on childcare.

It was so monotoned and boring. He basically just bragged the whole time throwing in a few numbers here and there (that were probably false — no one cares anymore, he lies so much data from his mouth is pretty much useless). It was just the same old shit “the likes of which no one has seen before.”

Nok_Sukow on
It’s a condensed response they’ve written, but the longer answer he gives in the video? It’s even worse and more long winded.
Plus he’s still convinced or trying to gaslight his audience into thinking that tariffs are a tax on other countries. Tariffs ARE NOT a tax on the country you are importing goods from. They are a tax on the consumer, the one buying the imports, you and I.
Questjon on
Does Trump think trade tariffs are a tax paid by the exporting country? Trade tariffs can be useful for defending domestic industry but they cost money they don’t raise money.

>If you listened, though, there was some news here. Musk — who did a glitchy, podcast-style [interview](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/what-did-elon-musk-ask-donald-trump.html) with Trump where he bragged about firing employees — has apparently agreed to head a commission that would root out what Trump calls government fraud and abuse. Government waste, particularly in the form of fraudulent spending, is in fact a major problem in the budget, with the Government Accountability Office estimating that it reaches [more than $500 billion a year](https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-24-105833#:~:text=We%20estimated%20that%20the%20federal,is%20required%20to%20address%20it.). (Trump’s plan is similar to the GAO’s Biden-era approach for rooting it out.) The Musk-led commission, if it ever happens, would supposedly save “trillions” of dollars over an unspecified period.
>Trump also pledged to cut ten regulations for every one that passes — a five-fold increase from a 2016 pledge. He also cycled through a few promises that he’s made in the past, such as cutting taxes for Social Security benefits and corporate research and development, increasing oil drilling in the U.S., and, maybe, [locking up Harris](https://x.com/atrupar/status/1831736453484662948). Hard to tell if he was actually serious about that last one or if he was just trying to get his audience to wake up.
So the policies are:
(1) Put Musk in charge of a Trump version of the Government Accountability Office
(2) Attack regulations that protect workers, consumers, and the environment
(3) Cut taxes (i.e., cut programs that rely on those taxes) on Social Security and Corporate R&D
(4) Increase the amount of oil and gas leases (in the hopes that it will bring down energy costs [note: it won’t])
(5) Weaponize the Justice Department against political enemies
Fuck every person who wants this bullshit.

I have been catching the highlights that KamalaHQ has been posting. [Woof](https://x.com/KamalaHQ/status/1831753100446589285?t=OiAxhYGVH88Ie4yV-MdfTA&s=19)
