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.
