How an unprepared yet astute candidate should reply would be first, not comment on something they don't have an answer for.
Of course this is politics, and all politicians respond to all questions...so the next best course is to talk a "bit" around it....like he may have attempted....but not ramble and get caught in lies like we will have no deficits in a short period of time....
JD Vance was asked pretty much the same question about the costs of child care and he scraped together a more coherent response. It still sucked—effectively JD suggested the grandparents could help out a bit more. That was an echo of GHW Bush's 1992 campaign response to concerns about the rising costs of health care, where Bush envisioned "a thousand points of light" created by neighbors helping neighbors.
JD IIRC did go on to talk about building up a network of volunteers and making it easier for people who wanted to work in child care earn certification in the field but he ran away from the basic problem of the issue: how do you get child care costs down?
Trump just babbled. You have to effectively READ TEA LEAVES to understand his words but apparently Trump believes that massive and widespread imposition of tariffs on goods and materials brought into the US will magically reduce our deficit, boost our economic growth and SOMEHOW REALLY MAJICKLY distribute that fictional tariff revenue into non-existent government programs to pay for child care.
JD gave the traditional Republican response—volunteerism and free market forces will handle child care costs.
Trump fantasized and hallucinated. Lousy AI chatbots could have come up with a better response.
I see him as unprepared to answer a very difficult question coming from out of the blue trying to not say anything wrong that he might regret later.
I've heard some snippets from this event and he was generally doing rather well.
We'll see who is what come Tuesday.
Not that it matters ... Harris could do worse than Biden did and she wouldn't lose a single vote. Her support is unshakeable.

Matter of fact. The dumber Trump sounds... the better Kurt likes it.
There is nothing about Trump's comments that makes him sound smarter or dumber...because everything he says is sound bite. Trump operates solely on a superficial level, without the cognition or consideration to create solutions out of multiple ideas.
He says what he wants others to hear, not because he believes anything... solely because he wants you to buy what he's selling. Yesterday, it was that he understood economics. If you listen to the other 3 Q&A exchanges before the childcare one, the last one makes a bit more sense. Not because he answered the question, but because he was simply spewing the same lines he had been using for an hour. He can't flex or shift...he's not that smart. By the last question (which is getting all of the play now), you could have asked him why Barron didn't go to Penn or if he'd seen Melania since the RNC, and the answer would have included tariffs and "numbers like nobody has ever seen".
His "nuclear warming" answer was particularly amusing. He talks about his uncle (who died in 1985) like he was a mentor providing young Donnie with a roadmap for the power of nuclear weapons... when you know he probably hated the guy. MIT engineer... how boring. Young Donnie was focused on Studio 54 and being a socialite.
Really ? This is click bait. I bet it makes you feel good though, which is all that matters.
This is 2 moths old and irrelevant. The hearings mentioned have come and gone. How about posting an update to what since the article was written has actually happened ?
Note to self, do not bother with Red_Dragon links. I've already learned that but slipped up and tried one more time.
Heh. I had a quick look. The golf courses remain allowed to serve liquor to this day. There has still been no hearing. Red, and others like him, are kneejerk TDS victims. Over and over again, they don't wait 24-48hrs for facts to come out - instead rushing to post the nonsense that feeds their belief system - the most high profile examples being the assassination attempt, the photos at Arlington, etc.. It's sad that the elections system can be compromised by manipulating people like this, but there it is.

I think voters have their minds made up, but if he can link TFG and Ivanka/Jared to "these guys are crooks and will screw you" then that's a good thing.
Behind the apparently mundane legal maneuverings are hints that Jack Smith intends to publicly disclose more evidence of Trump's crimes than the public knows about.
