Wow, that didn't go any better than the town hall last night.
For example...
MODERATOR: "Should Google be broken up?"
TRUMP: "I just haven't gotten over something the justice department did yesterday. Where Virginia cleaned up its voter rolls and got rid of thousands and thousands of bad votes and the justice department sued them, that they should be allowed to put those bad votes, illegal votes, back in, and let the people vote. So I haven't got, I haven't gotten over that, a lot of people have seen that and they don't believe it."
MODERATOR: "But the question is about Google, president Trump."
Trump didn't have a direct answer to a single question and certainly none of the answers were enlightened by actual facts or figures.
Dementia Don did say that Mercedes-Benz in South Carolina builds everything in Germany and they only "assemble" the cars here. They don’t "build" cars here. They take them out of a box and assemble them. And that any child could do it.
Umm.
Well, aside from insulting autoworkers (who he hates anyway), the Mercedes-Benz plant is in Alabama, not South Carolina (that's BMW) and employs 6300 Americans, indirectly supports 10,000 other US jobs in the region, invested more than $6B in the US economy (and counting), has produced 4M vehicles in the US since 1997 and buys parts from almost 200 US-based suppliers.
He did suggest he might impose a 2000% tariff on cars and didn't seem to understand that other countries would likely impose crippling tariffs in return, igniting an inflationary trade war. No, Trump insisted: "All you have to do is build your plant in the US and you don't have any tariffs."
He said "tariff" was the most beautiful word in the English language.
Umm.
All you Trumpers who claim he'll be better for the economy, please watch. If nothing else you'll enjoy the couple of dozens sycophants seated in the audience to laugh at the cruel taunts and applaud the crazy.
