Bill Gates, who owns 270k acres of farmland, is also just a humble farmer feeling the pain.

Trump kept 12 goats on his New Jersey golf course for years in order to get a $900,000 tax break. That's what these people mean when they say they're 'farmers' lol

Emily - if you think this ad is insulting and stupid, can you imagine how we feel every time Trump says we should become the 51st state? Trump started this so go pound sand.
