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.

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."
