Apple Farmers On Trump's Administration

I was interviewing farmers about how they see Presidential performance in Trump's first year as CEO of this USA, incorporated for a yet more perfect Union: Well, I believe he only has one national leader who has publicly announced that he will do whatever he can to kill him, and probably take out the rest of us along his nuclear warhead way. So, is that a concern or congratulations or both? How does that performance number compare to your predicted outcomes? Oh, I figured maybe more than one by now. Because... I thought his "I'm taking America Out First" assault on the Paris Climate agreement might generate a more immediate heating up of the world's international firing range." I'm still confused about whether you are giving him a pass, because you didn't really think any national leader could do anything to advance your peace of mind, or whether you are disappointed with the Trump administration's performance this first year. That would make it at least two of us. But, let me tell you, I believe he may be the first President to publicly threaten to turn an entire, or maybe just a half, nation into a nuclear holocaust. So he's threatening with the biggest stick so far. Are you hoping to see that escalate or de-escalate? We're all kind of hoping things might calm down. Nuclear waste is really hard on the apple harvest. Hard to grow apples without the basics, like trees, or folks to plant and pick and eat from them.
