Need a giggle? Trump Announces Aid Package To Farmers To Help Them Deal With How Amazing Economy is [View all]



"These farmers — they don't know anything. I love 'em, but they're out in the fields all day singing slave songs or whatever they do. They don't understand money," Trump said during a White House Cabinet Room roundtable. "So we're going to throw some money at them so they can handle just how well the economy is doing."

Farmers attempted to explain to Trump their precise economic concerns: higher supply costs, plummeting crop prices, and a labor shortage due to mass deportation. The president only shook his head and pointed to a chart showing a 3% inflation rate. "The numbers are down, which means the economy is up," Trump had said. "That's just basic math. And you can take it from me, I'm a math wiz. Everyone says so. They look at me and ask how I can solve all these math problems and I tell them it's just adding and subtracting. It's very simple."
