This is the guy who wants to give everyone a $1000/month allowance "free from the government", which seems a lot like financial illiteracy to me... He should take into consideration that financial illiteracy, well illiteracy in any number of subjects, is what gives him and the other dem candidates a shot at the presidency.
Their policies are based on what will generate the most votes.
This has always defined politicians but we are in uncharted territory with the promises in today's world.
They can say things that don't make sense at all. At least before, most of it made sense. Trump embellishes and exaggerates too.
The "save the planet" narrative is the best example of capitalizing on a made up thing(climate crisis) by making up a bunch of things to fix it that are claimed to have other massive(made up) benefits at the same time............but when you look at the reality are all detriments.

Trump embelishes to be sure, flat out lies sometimes, though not as often as many in the press would have us believe. But.... His policies will actually work to create more prosperity.
