In a roundabout attempt to explaining the cost of health care, Donald Trump gave a bizarre description of why some buildings cost more than others.
Speaking at a round table with faith leaders on police reform, Mr Trump's stream of consciousness bounced between coronavirus, hurricanes, oil and health care.
While trying to explain veteran choice health care that allows vets to use an out of network doctors while the government pays the bill, Mr Trump said it sounds expensive but costs less.
"But it's one of those many cases where it's actually less costly and better," Mr Trump said before going into this building analogy.
"Sometimes you'll see a building it costs less money than another building that costs more because the one that built the one that costs more, this one looks better, the one that's cheaper, it looks better."
He continued: "They say, 'how much more did you spend for that building?' Actually we spent less. You can do that, it's called: You have to know what you're doing. If you know what you're doing."
At that point, the president seemed to realise the comparison was getting lost on the audience.
"That's only good for the real estate people in here. Of which there are plenty by the way," he said.
