Donald Trump is infamous for his rambling and bizarre speeches, but he may well have outdone himself with a mind-boggling attempt to explain why some buildings cost more than others.
The president was speaking at a round table event with faith leaders on Thursday when he tried to tout the benefits of healthcare options for veterans that necessitated the government picking up part of the bill.
In essence he was trying to say that it sounds expensive, but actually isn’t.Trump: Sometimes you’ll see a building that costs less money than another building that costs more because the one that built the one that costs more, this one looks better. The one that’s cheaper looks better. They say how much more did you spend for that building. pic.twitter.com/xFfybBg4J2— Acyn Torabi (@Acyn) June 11, 2020He said: “But it’s one of those many cases where it’s actually less costly and better.”
Now it needs to be noted that the following is word-for-word what the president said.
“Sometimes you’ll see a building it costs less money than another building that costs more because the one that built the one that costs more, this one looks better, the one that’s cheaper, it looks better.
“They say, ‘how much more did you spend for that building?’ Actually we spent less. You can do that, it’s called: You have to know what you’re doing. If you know what you’re doing.”
At this point he appeared to realise he wasn’t actually making much sense and is an attempt at a save, he added: “That’s only good for the real estate people in here. Of which there are plenty by the way.”
OK Mr President, sure.Related...
