TRUMP: "You're not allowed to own cows anymore."

AP FACT CHECK: Trump on the wall, and a ban on cows?

Let Democrats have their way, President Donald Trump suggested, and the United States will become a country without border security, airplanes or cows.

Trump warned of a variety of dire consequences from the Democratic playbook as he rallied Monday night in the border city of El Paso, Texas, in a hall where banners proclaimed “Finish the Wall” even though he barely has a start on the one he promised.

Both at the White House and in El Paso, he presented the border wall as a work in progress, hailing the start of a “big, big portion” with much more coming soon.
It was a hefty exaggeration from a president who has yet to see an extra mile of barrier completed since he took office.

In the course of the evening, he also took a swipe at the Green New Deal, a sweeping plan put forward by a group of Democrats last week to transform the U.S. economy to combat climate change and create thousands of jobs in renewable energy. This is where gaseous cows come into it.

TRUMP, on the effects of the Green New Deal: “You’re not allowed to own cows anymore.” He added that the plan would “shut down American energy” and “a little thing called air travel.”

I saw on Twitter last night that people were commenting on the color, but couldn't bring myself to listen to his blathering. Did the store run out of "Piss Yellow"?

He keeps a small herd in his back yard. Five or six cows that moo in the mornings, giving the neighborhood a nice bucolic feel.

I don't live out in the country. I live in a suburb of Tacoma, Washington. Having suburban livestock, like chickens, is not unusual around here. Resident can have eggs and milk the food distribution chain of which has just one link.

Those Trumpster fuckheads actually think he's 'one of us'?

Nope. Once again, it's because he 'pisses off the libtards."

Okay, I can just picture someone trying to load their service cow on a plane, passengers a mixture of astonished and appalled, flight attendants contemplating how the exciting career they dreamed of ever came to this, the cow mooing as it made it's way down the aisle.

... I find it hilarious that Trump says that stupid shit undoubtedly because he was speaking to an audience in Texas, so he thinks cow ownership is an issue that resonates and that he can use to fear-monger. I mean everybody in the westerns has cows right?

Anyone who believes this is legitimately and hopelessly stupid. No reasoning will ever work for them - they lack even basic common sense.

I guess those "good genes" the White House attributed his "tan" to don't affect his hands. Ever.
