Trump Warns Farmers That Gun Control Will Leave Their Potatoes Defenceless

President Trump: "We're going after Virginia, with your crazy governor, we're going after Virginia. They want to take your Second Amendment. You know that, right? You'll have nobody guarding your potatoes." pic.twitter.com/b2u1f1FpgT

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.

Let's all get back to work. https://t.co/eay8saxcK1

Trump's silly comments about armed Virginians guarding their potato fields is yet another sign that the administration's communications team is spuddering.

Dearest-

It's off to another long night guarding the potatoes. I am weary and long to close my eyes and dream of you. Alas, our governor is a wretched enemy of liberty and I must take up arms to protect the root vegetables. I miss you so.

Your loving wife#GuardYourPotatoes
