Trump's literal answer to a question

[Evangelicalhumanist]

Some will dismiss this, of course but I asked ChatGPT this prompt: Analyse the following from a medical perspective and offer a followup that a doctor might undertake if that is indicated:

From a medical perspective, the passage you provided may raise concerns about possible cognitive impairment or speech-related issues. When assessing this kind of language, we can look for signs that might indicate underlying neurological or cognitive conditions, such as:​

1. Confused Sentence Structure: The individual appears to lose track of their thoughts, jumping between ideas without clear transitions. This could indicate cognitive dysfunction or difficulties with executive functioning, which is common in conditions like dementia or mild cognitive impairment.
2. Repetitive Speech: Repetition of words or phrases (e.g., "childcare is childcare" and "the kind of numbers") can be a sign of cognitive decline. This repetition often reflects difficulty organizing thoughts or memory recall issues.
3. Incoherent Ideas: There are fragmented or disjointed thoughts (e.g., switching from childcare to economic policy in a way that’s hard to follow). This can be a sign of difficulty in sustaining a clear, logical train of thought, potentially pointing to a neurological issue.
4. Word-Finding Difficulty: The speaker appears to struggle with word choice and coherence, as seen with phrases like "trillions of dollars" without clear context or explanation. This may suggest aphasia, which can occur in conditions like stroke or neurodegenerative diseases.

Medical Follow-Up:​

A doctor might undertake the following steps:​

1. Cognitive Screening: Simple cognitive tests (like the Mini-Mental State Examination or Montreal Cognitive Assessment) would help assess for mild cognitive impairment, dementia, or other neurodegenerative conditions.
2. Neurological Examination: A thorough neurological exam might be performed to rule out stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or other brain-related issues.
3. Referral to a Specialist: If concerns about cognition are raised, a referral to a neurologist or geriatrician might be indicated for more comprehensive testing, including neuroimaging (e.g., MRI or CT scan).
4. Blood Tests: To rule out metabolic causes of cognitive decline (e.g., vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, or electrolyte imbalances), blood work might be ordered.

If you or someone you know is experiencing similar symptoms, a medical evaluation would be highly recommended.​

It might have been fun to have asked ChatGPT to rephrase the quote so that it makes sense, or to ask what he was trying to say.

The question to Trump is just what someone should be asked: "If you win in November, will you commit to prioritizing legislation to make childcare affordable, and if so, what specific piece of legislation will you advance?"

Trump's answer:

​

"Well, I will do that and we're sitting down, you know, I was, uh, somebody, we had Sen. Marco Rubio and my daughter Ivanka were so, uh, impactful on that issue, it's a very important issue, but I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about that because childcare is childcare is couldn't, you know, is something you have to have it in this country, you have to have it. But when you talk about those numbers compare to the kind of numbers that I'm talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they're not used to but they'll get used to it very quickly and it's not going to stop them from doing business with us but they'll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country. Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're talking about, including childcare, that it's going to take care. We're going to have, I, I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly very short period of time coupled with the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country because I have to stay with childcare, I want to stay with child care, but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I'm talking about, including growth. But growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just, uh, that I just told you about. We're gonna be taking in trillions of dollars and as much as childcare is talked about as being expensive, it's relatively speaking, not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers we will be taking in. We're gonna make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people and then we'll worry about the rest of the world. Let's help other people. But we will take care of our country first, this is about America First. It's about Make America Great Again. We have to do it because right now we're a failing nation. So we'll take care of it."​

Ramble out a load of bull****, then throw in a slogan and a lie. It's a winning formula among Trump fans.

That is actually his pattern, that of the salesman conman who says a bunch of preposterous things that sort of sound good and interlards it with gratuitous slogans. There is no actual content there. This time it is the Chinese will pay for it and I feel your pain in this failing country, and I can fix it.
Believe that he has a university for you.

I supposed the chameleon woman has a better plan right?

I'm sure we'll all get more insight on the 10th.

My thoughts on the upcoming debate is to recommend people bring big salad forks and spoons.

To deal with Trump's word salad. That sounds good to me.

Crow Salad​

“Man, that salad outside looks good. I’m almost jealous.”
It’s not really a salad, though. It’s sunflower seeds. Cracked corn. Peanuts. A handful of blueberries and strawberry tops, garnished with an equal handful of cat kibble.

I gave it to co-pilot. I think I'd vote for AI before Trump. It's still skimpy on policy specific, but at least it doesn't sound like an acid trip:

I will take action, and as we sit down to discuss, I acknowledge the significant impact Senator Marco Rubio and my daughter Ivanka have had on the crucial issue of childcare. Childcare is a necessity in this country. When considering the financial figures involved in taxing foreign nations—figures that are unfamiliar to them but will soon become standard—it's clear that these are substantially higher than any domestic costs, including childcare. This tax will not deter them from doing business with us, but it will contribute significantly to our revenue. These numbers dwarf the costs of childcare, and I anticipate eliminating deficits in a very short time by also addressing waste and fraud. While childcare costs are important, they are relatively small compared to the economic growth and revenue we're discussing, which includes trillions of dollars. With this growth and the plan I've outlined, we can transform our country into one that can afford to care for its citizens. Then, we can extend help to others. Our priority is to take care of our nation first, embodying the 'America First' policy and striving to 'Make America Great Again.' We must do this because, at present, we are a nation that is failing. Rest assured, we will address this.

On a basic and unassailable level....... Trump is confused and incoherent. Put him out to pasture, and let him go.

This was an interesting and disturbing sentences and idea:
"We're gonna be taking in trillions of dollars and as much as childcare is talked about as being expensive, it's relatively speaking, not very expensive".
I wonder what yarn he had just spun wherein he thinks he can bring in "TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS" above and beyond what our nation currently derives from the GDP?
Pure fantastical "thinking".

Trump thinks that he is going to get his magical trillions of dollars by placing tariffs on imported goods. And not just from China, but from almost every country. He does not understand tariffs at all. He thinks that tariffs are a tax that the exporting company pays.

That is probably about as good as any intelligence can do. It reiterated that which was understandable from his statement but did not address the question at all.
What it seems to have done is delete his assertions that he would be the cause or solution of any of these things probably because in all of the language learning it has done that there was no support for anything he has said.
