The entire thing was a classic example of MAGA incompetence. He wanted to make some point about farmers, so they set up in a metal pole barn in Wisconsin, with John Deere equipment and hay bales in the background. Surely Trump has recently bumped up his stake in Deere, one of America's most evil corporations.

Then it pours rain on a metal roof, on a metal building, because instead of having the best PR people on the job, they have MAGA PR people, which means they are incompetent by definition.

So he's already yelling to be heard over the hammering rain, getting impatient, and since he has all the emotional control of a billionaire toddler, all he can do is lash out like the bully he is at his core. I found that last move, where he grasped her shoulder, to be extremely weird. If he hadn't been on camera, he would have been beating her.

MAGA fucked this up, AGAIN, and so he never got to make his point with farmers, only highlighting that his big contribution to farmers was a bail-out for literally destroying the soybean industry in America during his first administration, which still hasn't recovered.

All that effort, and all it did was make Trump look stupid, angry, lying, menacing, bullying, demented, and worse. I watched it live on NBC, but later that evening I watched coverage of it on ABC. You know you've fucked up when the footage is so juicy that even the competition promotes it!
