Trump rambles about IVF, election conspiracies, Black jobs and Viktor Orban in Wisconsin

....... In response to Gabbards question about IVF, Trump talked for nearly ten minutes, touching on Social Security; Michigans car industry; the so-called fake news media; the political views of his opponent Vice President Kamala Harris father and a shipbuilding contract in Marinette.
I didnt know about your situation, and its tough stuff, right? Trump said. Life is pretty tough. It can be beautiful, but it can be difficult. We are doing something with IVF, because IVF, as you know, for friends, people you know, its really worked out very well. For a lot of people, it gave them a child when they would not have had a child. And I told my people I wanted to look at this a couple of weeks ago.
Trump then segued directly into a new topic before returning to the question about IVF: And as you know, we have no taxes on a thing called tips. You know that? And I said, Tell me, we did three things. We did that, and we did no tax for seniors on Social Security benefits. We want to have that. And Ive been seeing a lot of IVF, and I kept hearing that Im against it, and Im actually very much for it. In fact, in Alabama, where the judge ruled against it, and I countered the judge and came out with a very strong statement for it. And the Alabama [Legislature] they were amazing. The Legislature approved virtually my statement. I mean, full IVF, and its really gone its terrific. And I said, so, with the tips and with the Social Security, no taxes on Social Security, I said, maybe for IVF, and Ive been looking at it, and what were going to do is for people that are using IVF, which is fertilization, we are, government is going to pay for it, or were going to get or mandate your insurance company to pay for it, which is going to be great. Were going to do that. Well, its big. And you know what? We want to produce babies in this country, right? We want to produce babies. So I think its going to be something we told we sort of announced it a little bit.
...............................
Then Trump moved directly to his statement that he didnt know about the town hall format in Wisconsin: We dont even know, I was saying because were doing this, and I finished, and I figured I was going to come here and were going to make a speech. I had a speech all set for you. I was ready. They said, Sir, youre actually doing a town hall. I said, Oh, nobody told me that. I said, Whos doing it? They said, Tulsi. I said, Well, thats at least good news. Shes been, Ive been a fan of hers for a long time after, so Im in the plane and looking over some material, and were going to give you a hell of a speech tonight. Were set to give you one hell of a speech. They said, No sir, its a town hall. I said, Why doesnt somebody tell me this stuff? And I dont even have any idea who were doing it for. I dont know is it for a network or what? I see a lot of television all over the place, so maybe its on all of them. .....................

The women probably wouldnt have insurance at all without Obamacare anyway

and had to be told again, OR as he was bloviating, forgot that he already said it seven sentences earlier.
