Trump at CNN's Townhall

Trump's Perfect 3-Word Response When Asked the First Thing He'd Do to Bring Down Rising Costs

Donald Trump said he would encourage American energy independence when he was asked during his CNN town hall event on Wednesday how he would jumpstart the country’s economy.

During Trump’s term in the White House from 2017 to 2021, Americans enjoyed low prices at the pump. Since then, many families have been affected by record inflation.

A woman named Danielle Rieger who attended the Townhall meeting asked, “If elected president again, what is the first thing you would do to help bring down costs to make things more affordable?”

Trump did not hesitate in his answer.

“Drill, baby, drill,” he responded to raucous applause from the crowd.[WesternJournal]
