What are you going to do about bringing down the rent and things like that in the economy? Because out of eight children that I'm a father and a stepfather to, five of them are struggling and I'm giving them part of my income on a regular basis. How are you going to make the economy, not just the food and electricity, but bring down the rent prices, the housing prices, so that these kids can survive without their parents help? Such a good question, Mr. President. You're right. You're right. I hear it very well. And I tell you, first of all, I love the people that you're with. I know that I must have at least 99, perhaps 100 percent of all of them, and I think they're incredible. We are going to drill, baby, drill. We're going to bring down the cost of energy. Energy is what caused the worst inflation, I think, in the history of our country. Food prices are up 50 percent, sometimes more. You look at bacon. Bacon is quadrupled. You can't order bacon. You can't order anything. We're living horribly. We have the worst inflation we've probably ever had in our country, and it started because of energy. We're going to drill, baby, drill. And then we're going to have China and all of these countries that were treating us good when I was there, toward that—I mean, it took me a long time to get them to behave properly. All of these countries are going to, again, stop. Like four years ago, I could ask you. You were in great shape. You had low energy costs. You had low food costs. Everything was good. You could buy a house. You had low interest rates, 2 percent interest rates. You had gasoline at $1.87. Now it's $5. And, by the way, going up, and going up very substantially. But you had gasoline at $1.87 a gallon. Nobody talks about that anymore. Nobody even can believe it's going to happen. It's going to happen again. We've got to get the energy prices down, and everything else is going to be tumbling down with it, the prices.

    What a horrible answer to a very good question. Trump is clueless.

      Sad part is that voters trust him more on the economy than the Democrats.

    The only way this answer could make any possible sense is the creation of vast, subterranean cavern dwellings. But I don’t remember seeing Skaven-like underground homes on Project 2025’s agenda.

        I think such candidates would succumb often to Fey moods and do nonsense projects like, I dunno, obsessively building a wall or something.

        I need more Warhammer in my politics, please. I mean, what are any of these yahoos going to do about the Skaven invading under our borders, or those elitist Elvin 1%, or about how the Undead or Orcs looking to start a war overseas?

          No. No god emperor’s please. I’m good with the fucking dictators we already have scuttling about. They make such a lovely squelching noise when trodden by the boot of labor, progress, and freedom but are so hard to otherwise get rid of already.

    Best response should have been “free condoms and family planning services”
