Donald Trump was asked how he’d lower grocery prices and his answer was already jaw-dropping, but written down it was incredible
Donald Trump was back on the campaign trail in the US where he did a Town Hall event with his former press secretary turned Republican governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
There was no shortage of memorable moments – his hilariously on-brand upside to rising sea levels, for instance – and this exchange was another proper doosy.
It was Trump’s response to a woman who asked how he was going to bring down grocery prices. And when we say his answer was quite the listen, it really is quite the listen.

But that’s nothing compared to how it looks when you read his answer written down. Puts it in a whole new light. And not a flattering one, obviously.

The man don’t know what the hell he’s talking about. If you ask him about housing, he’ll start talking about Hannibal Lector eating you for dinner. Just nuts.

Trump used 539 words to explain how he would bring down the cost of groceries, and never explained how he would bring down the cost of groceries, or even used the word “groceries.” https://t.co/iqbCDLjE6B

He is a dangerous idiot. He has no idea what he is talking about. There is no way to raise prices on imported food and have it lessen the average Americans grocery bill.
