It was 15 minutes into his Pennsylvania address before President Donald Trump first uttered the word “affordable” — and it wasn’t long before he began railing against the concept entirely.

And money is fake so robbing billionaires isn’t a crime.

What a fucking idiot.

      We question our politicians (here in Australia) often enough on this sort of thing in election years that some (not all) actually pay enough attention to cost-of-living stuff to be in the right ballpark.

      Today, for instance, [Bush] emerged from 11 years in Washington’s choicest executive mansions to confront the modern supermarket.Visiting the exhibition hall of the National Grocers Association convention here, Mr. Bush lingered at the mock-up of a checkout lane. He signed his name on an electronic pad used to detect check forgeries.

      “If some guy came in and spelled George Bush differently, could you catch it?” the President asked. “Yes,” he was told, and he shook his head in wonder.

      Then he grabbed a quart of milk, a light bulb and a bag of candy and ran them over an electronic scanner. The look of wonder flickered across his face again as he saw the item and price registered on the cash register screen.

      “This is for checking out?” asked Mr. Bush. “I just took a tour through the exhibits here,” he told the grocers later. “Amazed by some of the technology.”

      Marlin Fitzwater, the White House spokesman, assured reporters that he had seen the President in a grocery store. A year or so ago. In Kennebunkport.

      Some grocery stores began using electronic scanners as early as 1976, and the devices have been in general use in American supermarkets for a decade.
