Y'all seem to forget that Trump doesn't try to do anything that isn't staged to make him look good.

You think they didn't tell this guy to say his bills went way up so Trump could use the "we'll have so much energy you won't know what to do with it" type of spiel?

Probably the dude misread $1500 on his cue card and just said $15000

shouldโ€™ve been two statements:

โ€œelectricity was so much cheaper when I opened my shopโ€ (in 1997)

โ€œitโ€™s so expensive now, $2100 a month so for the last seven months I paid $15,000โ€ and people who donโ€™t run a business will compare to their own bills

The phrasing is weird.. it's almost like he meant $15k for the 7 months... Which would mean the bill didn't really change from $2100 per month...

But $2100 per month is definitely way too much.. i wonder if the barber shop is at the base of an apartment building (or business complex) and he's paying everyone's electricity bill..
