“The Four Stages of Being Confronted With Your Own Lies:
“1. The Lean. The head becomes heavier than the body.
“2. Color change. The complexion shifts from orange to pink.
“3. Insults. The interviewer is declared stupid.
“4. The Awkward Storm Off. The subject leaves visibly upset and darts off to do a Truth Social post explaining how unfair everything was.”
Scott Rags’ political cartoon, 6/7/26.

Why is there a tractor?
for whatever reason, the interview took place in a barn. I think part of Trump’s tactics is to take interviews in the most insane places possible
John Deere is one of the most evil corporations in America, so of course they are huge MAGA supporters. Trump almost certainly recently bought John Deere stock, so he had to feature it in the interview. He probably intended to highlight them, to boost their stock, but never got there.
In a few months, they’ll release his stock purchases, and we will discover that he increased his position in John Deere before the interview.
I hate what John Deere has become…
You know how in college or university professors assign homework and readings as if they’re the only class you’re taking that semester? And all 6 classes do it?
That’s what its like for current farmers. Each farming company basically assumes you’re paying the same for everything else but have room to pay more towards them. Farmers are being squeezed so hard this year close to ⅓ of them are going to go bankrupt…
There’s one in the interview. As to why? No idea
PR interns have to justify their existence.
