Speaking at #EconClubNY, #Trump gave a long,meandering answer to the question & didn’t even mention #children or ANY possible #solutions to the issue,even though he was asked what SPECIFIC LEGISLATION he would pass.

“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, childcare is childcare.It’s something you know you have to have it,in this country you have to have it” #Trump began…

#Trump’s #incoherent answer was somehow worse than the one his running mate, #JDVance, gave Wed at a Turning Point Action event in #Arizona when asked a similar question. #Vance told *conservative* pundit Charlie Kirk that he would suggest people turn to their family members to help w/ #childcare, or, if family members were not available, to loosen education requirements for childcare workers.

Aside from the fact that these answers indicate that the ostensibly *pro-family* #Republican Party has poor #solutions to making #childcare less expensive, they also show #Trump’s increasing #CognitiveDecline. He was asked a straightforward question on how he would make childcare less expensive & the specific #legislation he would pursue to make that possible. Trump either had no interest in a coherent answer or wasn’t capable of providing one.

#KamalaHarris’s campaign had a quick response.

“Billionaire-bought Donald #Trump’s ‘plan’ for making #childcare more affordable is to impose a $3,900 #tax hike on #MiddleClass #families,” Harris camp spox Costello said. “The American people deserve a President who will actually cut costs for them, like VP Harris’ plan to bring back a $3,600 #ChildTaxCredit for working families & an expanded $6k tax cut for families w/newborn children.”

Is #Trump capable of presenting, or even understanding, substantive #policy ideas? His apparent #mental state says he is not, & #media coverage seems to gloss over discussions about his condition. Perhaps the upcoming debate w/ MVP #KamalaHarris next week will finally expose him in front of a national audience.

@mastodonmigration @Nonilex There’s an element of “‘twas ever thus”, but I’m super glad that the nonsense has clarity now and we are calling it out.

In fact, as soon as the textbook of “politics the Trump way” started being written, it had examples of him using old tactics, but more at once, and to extremes, and poorly executed. cf: the Tea Party evolution to MAGA.

He might at a deep level feel guilty how bad he is at it, hates that others get away with it, and wants to spoil the scam for all

@mastodonmigration @Nonilex (but at a more visceral level is happy to take his share of the advantage if everyone else is dumb enough to reward him … that’s how Boris Johnson’s dad taught him to use & abuse public power)
