4. He's just a spudboy

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. He's dumb. It is why EVERY business goes bankrupt, and why he owes PUTIN BILLIONS

[CatMor]

7. That is what I have been plotting and planning ...

to take their potatoes. How did trump know.

[Ms. Toad]

8. I grew up on a farm.

No one stands guard over their potatoes (corn, beans, alfalfa, etc.). More frequently, you offer your spuds to the neighbors when they are short - and accept spuds from them when you are.

Moron.

[Tipperary]

28. He does not know they grow underground.

Moron.

[Ms. Toad]

48. Could well be true -

but I didn't necessarily get that from the video clip.

[brewens]

9. They grow potatoes in WV? I'm in north central Idaho and I've never seen the Idaho potato

fields. I've driven countless miles through the Washington potato fields though.

10. Hydroxychloroquine side-effects must be kicking in.

[jberryhill]

Wilmington, NC, 8/9/16: Trump hints at #Assassinating HRC: "Hillary wants to abolish the 2nd Amendment. By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks — although the #2ndAmendment people — maybe there is — I don't know." #Radicalization #DomesticTerrorism

16. I remember that and being horrified. nt

[dalton99a]

17. Not the first time either. He knows exactly what he's saying

[IronLionZion]

36. But he doesn't have a political agenda

so it's not terrorism.

[dalton99a]

15. They need armed patrols badly

[2naSalit]

21. I know right where that is!

I used to live an hour up the road!

[JHB]

18. Just who did Donald hire (/funnel money to) for security at the Trump vodka distillery?

Those were apparently the most heavily-defended potatoes in the world.

[Alacritous Crier]

19. He's so worried...

he won't be able to get a large fry.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. I'll be setting out a few tomato plants this week. Will I have to

sit on my porch with a shotgun every day to guard them while they ripen? And will I have to threaten people with it later this summer in order to get them to take the excess zucchinis?

[PunkinPi]

22. You may want to hire a farmed guard to protect them. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

27. If I See Them, Yes!

I'm insane about fresh tomatoes!
Better keep me away. A squirt gun should do it!

[sarge43]

45. Don't threaten

Just do a midnight drive by and throw the bagful of them on their front porch.

It adds to the fun when you do a Bond villain laugh as you drive away.

[spanone]

23. One of the side effects of hydroxychloroquine is hoarding and protecting potatoes.

[forgotmylogin]

24. I have facepalmed so much in the past month that I'm starting to do damage. n/t

[TlalocW]

25. There is historical precedence for guarding potatoes...

[PunkinPi]

26. Interesting bit of history, but I highly doubt he knew any of that.

Also, Virginia is not known for potatoes.

[TlalocW]

30. I agree

I just like weird history.

[burrowowl]

50. The field was in Neuilly, ingenious.

[Marrah_Goodman]

29. WTF is wrong with this guy? Seriously?

[coti]

44. I don't think there's anyone guarding HIS potatoes. nt

[DinahMoeHum]

31. Get a load of Governor Ralph Northam's response. . .

Link to tweet

I grew up on a Virginia farm, Mr. President—our potatoes are fine. And as the only medical doctor among our nation's governors, I suggest you stop taking hydroxychloroquine.

#newrostrong

[Cha]

59. Good job Gov Northham! Retweeted.. TY, Dinalh!

[PunkinPi]

62. Well done, Governor Northam! nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

68. Tater Tot Donnie thinks Democrats are trying to steal his fries.

Everybody knows the 2nd Amendment was written so the government couldn't take your cheeseberder trees without a fight.

[Chellee]

32. He thinks russet potatoes come from potato rustlers.

[niyad]

33. It is barely noon here, too early to start drinking. WTFH????????? Huhhhhh???

If I drink all my coffee, have my protein, balance my blood sugar, will his comment make any sense??

[Renew Deal]

34. Northam's response is even better.

"As the only medical doctor among our nation's governors, I suggest you stop taking hydroxychloroquine"

[IronLionZion]

35. Because he wants french fries?

Dude probably thinks potatoes come from the Irish sounding McDonalds because Virginia is not known for potatoes. That's Idaho, Oregon, and some other western states. And who the hell is stealing potatoes? Does he think we're going to have a famine soon?

And wingnuts have shared plenty of idiotic memes that they don't need to hoard any supplies other than guns and ammo, because they can use that to gently persuade everyone else to share. You know, since responsible gun owners are such law abiding citizens.

[struggle4progress]

37. "If you don't have an armed guard watching your potatoes, they might try to take over the farm"

[Harker]

38. Idaho what he's bleating about... do ewe?

He's fucking nuts. Obviously.

[not fooled]

56. "Idaho"

what Melania says when she looks in the mirror.

[Harker]

57. Heh.

[Duppers]

70. 😂

[Grokenstein]

39. I read it decades ago. It's come true.

"Since then you have felt your mind decaying a little more each day. You have watched your wife slip into imbecility. You have seen the crowds growing murderous with animal terror, the President of the United States babbling and drooling on TV..."
-- back cover blurb from IQ 83 by Arthur Herzog

[milestogo]

40. You would have to get a Potato Shepherd to guard them.

[Ford_Prefect]

41. Sounds like another job for Jared! Potato Force?... or should we call it Spud Patrol?

[RainCaster]

42. I have a potato gun that the NRA doesn't want to oppose

It will launch a spud more than 3/4 mile. Consistently.
The propellant is map gas & oxygen.

[Brother Buzz]

52. Back in the day, my potato gun didn't have that range

But no super double secret "double naught" spy would be caught dead without one.

[TygrBright]

43. Organic brain deterioration. Seriously. n/t

[Roland99]

46. #NotThePotatoes

Will no one think of the “vegebles”?!

[peggysue2]

47. Yeah, and there will be no one to protect the Infant King's shriveled balls.

Never forget, never forgive.

[bucolic_frolic]

49. Number of potato nappers in the US: Zero. Number of stolen potatoes: Zero

This is the redux strategy of J. Danforth Quayle. Mr. Potatoe Head.

[Brainfodder]

51. Please proceed on 2nd amendment POTATOgate!

Be sure to consult former V.P. Dan Quayle!

Probably forgot about that guy, huh?

[Solly Mack]

53. Not my tatties!! Won't someone think of my tatties?!?!

Oh, the tubermanity.

OK. I'm done.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

54. Potatoes can watch out for themselves. They have eyes. nt

[FailureToCommunicate]

60. ...

[PunkinPi]

64. Yes...

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

65. Ok, well, THAT's not creepy or anything ...

[PunkinPi]

66. It would keep one away from the potatoes, now wouldn't it? ;) nt

[Cha]

58. So Shit for brains got Virginia and Idaho Confused?

Stupid SHITE.

[Vinca]

61. I think when guarding Russets, shoot-to-kill is not an option.

[jcgoldie]

63. Saw that dumbfuck and first lady dumbfuck with a golden shovel last month...

... trust me the potatoes are safe!

[Texaswitchy]

67. But can he spell potatoes.

Just asking.

[LiberalFighter]

69. Farmers don't need guns to protect their potatoes.

Pitchforks will do the job well if done right.

As a five year old kid not so much. I stabbed myself with a pitchfork at that age when digging for potatoes.

[LymphocyteLover]

71. the president is insane

he has to go!
