The GOP nominee responded to a college student who after declaring that everything has become more expensive including the cost of meat asked him for his plan to make life more affordable and bring down inflation.

The former president, in an event moderated by former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard  (I), claimed that grocery prices have gone up at levels that nobodys ever seen (theyre no longer rising at the rate they have been in recent years) before pointing to the cost of bacon.

Some people dont eat bacon anymore and we are going to get the energy prices down, when we get energy down, Trump said.

He continued, You know this was caused by their horrible energy. Wind, they want wind all over the place. But when it doesnt blow we have a little problem.

Trump has previously suggested that people relying on wind power would see their electricity go out shortly after wind drops, but this isnt the case .

Trumps latest remarks add to a number of instances in recent months that have sparked questions over his mental acuity, including top CEOs describing him as being remarkably meandering at a meeting and an author who interviewed him claiming he showed severe memory issues .
