‘Are You Kidding Me?’: Donald Trump Faces Farmers Crushed by Soaring Diesel Costs — Then Gets Distracted Mid-Speech, His Ego Takes Over and Fans Can’t Believe His Celebration

President Donald Trump gave a speech to hundreds of farmers and agriculture industry executives at the White House on Friday.

The POTUS welcomed the guests to announce the farm bill that he claimed would lead to the “golden age” for the agricultural industry. However, it was what Trump did following his speech that has the internet talking now.

The 79-year-old former reality TV star spoke to the farmers about his plans to cut costs as energy prices rise, and he promised the crowd that he was ushering in the “golden age” for the agricultural industry. 

He also noted that he would increase government loan guarantees for industry equipment such as tractors. In the middle of his speech, while Trump boasted that he told the head of John Deere he was removing the “horrible chains placed on tractor suppliers,” he noticed the gold tractor on the South Lawn.

“That’s a beautiful tractor,” he exclaimed. “That’s a gold tractor. Somebody had me in mind. What’s that all about? That’s a hell of a tractor. I’m looking at this.”

Trump also noticed another tractor on the lawn and said, “That’s a good one, too. Red, white, and blue. But somebody really hit me with that one. That’s beautiful.”

After his speech was over, “Y.M.C.A.” by the Village People played over the loudspeakers, and Trump performed his usual dance of pumping his fists in the air to the song with a glee.

The people in attendance applauded as if Trump’s illegal war in Iran hadn’t sent the price of farmers’ diesel — needed for their tractors — through the roof. Given that his speech was to address the woes of farmers, others online found his happy dance in poor taste.

Folks on social media dragged Trump for his tired dance moves, at a time when so many Americans are struggling with finances amid a war he started.

“Please let this be a joke,” said one person. Another said, “Didn’t he screw the cattle farmers over and now he’s bringing out a golden tractor?”

Over on Threads, one person shared a picture of the crowd, many of whom were wearing cowboy hats, “What’s more American than a President dancing to “YMCA’ in front of a crowd of reporters and people wearing cowboy hats on the South Lawn of the White House with a big Gold Tractor sitting nearby?”

A fourth person wrote, “Wait…..WAIT…. Are you kidding me,” prompting another reply, “Meanwhile …Isn’t there a war we’re not quite finished with?”

Another user zoomed in on the gold tractor. “While food disappears from store shelves and prices increase, Trump addresses struggling farmers next to a gold-plated tractor.”

The president often dances to the Y.M.C.A. during rallies, as well as another hit from the Village People, “Macho Man.” During his speech at the White House before he latest disco performance, the president promised that the Trump Administration would bring the “golden age” of the agricultural industry.

“Every day we’re looking for new ways to support our farmers, reduce your costs and to help lower the price of food for the American family,” Trump said on the South Lawn of the White House. “We’re going to prove that the golden age of American agriculture is right here and right now.”
