...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.Earlier this week, for example, Trump published an item to his social media platform vowing that he’ll cut consumers car insurance bills in half.

Indeed, it’s been difficult to keep up with the flurry of random ideas the GOP nominee has blurted out lately. Remember the plan for free IVF? How about defraying the costs of child-care expenses with imaginary tariff money? What about the proposal to amend the 25th Amendment? Or the avalanche of multitrillion-dollar tax cuts that collapse under minimal scrutiny?

I haven’t the foggiest idea what proposal Trump might come up with next, but with 46 days remaining before Election Day, it’s a safe bet the list will be long and nonsensical.
