The potential future president had also told the crowd, “You know they say you gotta vote with your stomach, I don’t know if you’ve heard it but it’s a little bit true,” before launching into some questionable food inflation numbers.

“Food has gone up at levels that nobody’s ever seen before,” he declared, following up his claim with some unsupported numbers. “We’ve never seen anything like it – 50, 60, 70 percent.”

The online response to Trump’s odd claims has been relentless, with one X/Twitter user writing, “Operation let him talk is going exceedingly well.”

    It’s because all the flying pigs are being chained to the ground so that their flapping wings can generate electricity that gets sold to China. Or something.

    I have never in my life heard anyone say you should vote with your stomach. Like I don’t even know where to start. What a crock of shit, it’s almost an art.

      Anyone can fat finger shit into an app.

      The disturbing part was the Redhats sagely nodding along like it meant anything.

      The funny part is that could have edited or deleted that and moved in. His ego required him to double down and make a reference about how some insiders understand the reference.

    I don’t know about anyone else here but I stopped eating bacon specifically and only because we use wind power in America.

    Like that was the only mitigating favor. THE ONLY ONE!

    Humorous, but not exactly what he said. However, it was the ramblings of an insane man so who the hell knows where his mind was at. Jibbajabbamasterlocks

      Actually no one really knows what he said, he started saying that many people no longer eat bacon. Then out of nowhere for a second talked about wind turbines that they dint always produce power, then returned back to food and inflation.

      With that if you would want to summarize the thought he was trying to say what would you arrive at? Of course other explanation is just gibberish, but that isn’t much better.

          Not really.

          I just added more context, because you said that’s not exactly what he said, but he kind of did. If anyone else would said this in that order you would think that the person believes the wind power has something to do with bacon.

          I agree that he is rambling and losing the topic of what he is talking about and actually that alternative is worse than if he truly believed wind farms prevent people from eating bacon. Also a title “trump rambles again” wouldn’t interested anyone.

            I think it’s important to focus on the wide range of things he actually says than the absolute ramblings of a mad man. A better headline might be “Trump rambles on about bacon and wind power at (whatever location)”

    His brain is clearly broken, but that’s not necessarily just because of his age. He’s always been weird AF.

    Unfortunately, his target demo have a lot of broken brains, too.

    I was watching a doc on vat-grown fish. I know other things are coming online for other meats. Hopefully it’s not too far off.

    I just have no idea what all these dumbphucks that tie so much of their cardboard cutout version of a male “identity” to things like performatively eating bacon or rolling coal in their diesel small d energy competency vehicles are going to do with themselves when nearly everything is vat-grown, most of our energy is not from burning carbon, and so on.

    I seriously don’t know what they are going to do. Buy more guns? Lobby dumbasses like donnie to “bring coal jobs back” and gomers like DeSantis to ban vat grown meat in their state?

      once we get synthetic lab grown meat, we’re probably home free, the entire agriculture industry consumes SO many resources just growing and managing live stock that it’s actually insane. 70-80% of the water consumption of the colorado river is agriculture.

    It’s true. I was only ever eating bacon to keep the flying pig population in check, but now I don’t have to because the wind turbines will do the job.

    He’s clearly referring to the bacon dispensers in every public bathroom that only produce wind when you press the bacon button.

    I’m sorry but I still buy bacon on sale at like 5-6 per lb. Bacon prices is literally one of those things that has hardly changed over the last few years (dare I say almost 5-8 years or more) atleast around here.

    I don’t have any hard evidence but I want to say that’s been the case even when that doofus was president.
