Trump Serves Word Salad Answer on Funding for Childcare – Mainstream Media Ignores His Dysphasia Again
Question from panelist Reshma Saujani, founder of the nonprofit Girls Who Code and its campaign to help mothers, Moms First: “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?”
Answer from former President and current GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump: “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 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 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 be taking 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. Thank you.”
