Trump gives an incoherent response to a question on how he would reduce the cost of child care

Well, I would do that, and we're sitting down, and I was, somebody, we had Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter Ivanka was so, 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, look, child care is child care is. Couldn't, you know, there'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 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. Uh, those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're talking about, including child care, that it's going to take care.

Can someone translate? I don't speak MAGA. I think he's saying that this is an important issue that Senator Rubio and his daughter Ivanka were working on, and that he plans to impose tariffs on foreign goods to pay for child care. The problem is that tariffs are essentially a tax paid for by the consumer, so his plan will increase prices. Is he saying the resulting revenue will be sent in the form of payments to cover child care costs? Or is this just more incoherent bullshit?

@JSul3 he could recite mary had a little lamb and his crowds will scream and whistle. I don't think they actually listen to a word he says. They're just there to bask and cheer.

@JSul3 That encourages him. He thinks that they love his speeches. His speeches and interviews are becoming increasingly more incoherent. The more incoherent the less likely to be elected and then Vance will have to replace him as the candidate for President.
🤔Nah they would never do that to their "UnStable Genius".

@Richard65 You may be right. I think Trump meant to say "Child care is important. My daughter Ivanka and Senator Rubio were working on a child care bill. If I'm reelected, I plan to impose tariffs on foreign goods and use the money to assist parents with their child care costs." But he's lost the ability to express himself that clearly, if he ever had it.
