Donald Trump convened a discussion on agriculture at a rural setting in Wisconsin last evening. Although no groundbreaking information emerged during the event, it did not receive much attention in today’s news cycle. Trump made some unconventional remarks, including a comment on the length of the Lincoln reflecting pool and momentarily forgetting the name of the Washington Monument. He also mentioned his renewed friendship with Elon Musk after a rough patch. However, what stood out was the minimal focus on agriculture, the primary topic of the roundtable, as Trump mainly spoke in front of a few tractors.
