Trump Hasn’t Learned Anything At All.

Somewhere around the twenty-minute mark of the CNN Town Hall, a young lady asked Trump what he would do to deal with the inflation which was causing so much pain. Now the fact that the latest numbers show that prices overall have actually declined for the last nine months was left unsaid, and the questioner, who voted for Trump in 2020, made a point of telling Trump and the audience that prices for gasoline and food were still way too high.

How did Trump answer her question? He didn’t answer it at all. He went into a rant about how terrible everything was under Joe, that the United States was becoming a ‘third world’ country, that gasoline had cost as much as $7 dollars a gallon, and that his orderly Afghanistan withdrawal had become a big mess.

What the moderator, Kaitlan Collins, should have done, was tell Trump that the audience was still waiting for an answer to the question. But she let him get away without making any response at all beyond repeating how the economy had been ‘rocking’ when he was in charge.

Trump then began blustering his way through the issue of January 6th, bragging about how the crowd at the Ellipse was the largest crowd he ever addressed and how so many ‘good people’ came from all over the United States because they agreed with him that the el4ction had been ‘fixed.’
