The potential future president had also told the crowd, “You know they say you gotta vote with your stomach, I don’t know if you’ve heard it but it’s a little bit true,” before launching into some questionable food inflation numbers.

“Food has gone up at levels that nobody’s ever seen before,” he declared, following up his claim with some unsupported numbers. “We’ve never seen anything like it – 50, 60, 70 percent.”

The online response to Trump’s odd claims has been relentless, with one X/Twitter user writing, “Operation let him talk is going exceedingly well.”
