Donald Trump stumbles while answering about child care plan
Donald Trump stumbled while answering about his child care plan in September. He was asked if he would prioritize the issue and how he would handle it if elected president this November, per NBC News.
His answer was incomplete while offering a coherent vision or policy on how he would address child care needs, as he went on to promote his proposed tariffs on imported goods to the US and touted the revenue they would bring in.
Trump was asked if he would "commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable and what specific piece of legislation" he would support during a Q&A session at the Economic Club of New York.
He answered, "Well, I would do that, and we’re sitting down. You know, I was somebody — we had, Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter Ivanka, was so impactful on that issue. It’s a very important issue."
He continued, "But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about — that, because look, child care is child care, couldn’t — you know, there’s something — you have to have it in this country. You have to have it."
