However, something significant seems to have changed now that Donald Trump is the only 80ish candidate in the race who is showing clear signs of cognitive decline. For some reason the press only regarded that as a problem when Biden was running. Now they are content to ignore the obvious inability of Trump to maintain a stable relationship with reality.<\/p>\n

The substance of his remarks was identical to his cult rallies that are filled with flagrant lies, infantile insults, and slobbering and undeserved exaltations of himself. Perhaps the only difference with this address is that Trump appeared to be nearly catatonic as he slurred his way through his robo-talking points.<\/p>\n At one point Trump was asked a question that ought to have been an easy one for someone so practiced in weaving and dodging to avoid revealing his ignorance. But Trump’s reply was spectacularly incomprehensible. What follows is the entire transcript. And I dare anyone to make any sense of it. The question was: “If you win in November, can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable? And if so, What specific piece of legislation will you advance?”<\/em> And Trump replied (good luck getting through it)…<\/p>\n “Well, I would do that and we’re sitting down, you know, I was, somebody, we had Sen. Marco Rubio and my daughter, Ivanka was so impactful on that issue. It’s a 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. It’s something, you have to have it in this country. You have to have it. 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 use to, but they’ll get use to it very quickly.<\/p>\n “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. We’re gonna have, I look forward to having no deficits within a very short period of time. Coupled with the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country, because I have to stay with child care. I want to stay with child care.<\/p>\n “But those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers I’m talking about, including growth. Growth also headed up by what the plan is I just, that I just told you about. We’re gonna be taking in trillions of dollars, and as much as child care is talked about as being expensive, it’s relatively speaking not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers we’ll be taking in.<\/p>\n “We’re gonna make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its 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 isn’t about America first. It’s about make America great again. And we have to do it because right now we’re a failing nation. So we’ll take care of it. Thank you.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I dare anyone to make sense out of Trump's rambling, incoherent, reply to a simple question about child care affordability. #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/GjhWOVZMa7<\/a><\/p>\n — News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) September 5, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
