Trump claims Democrats 'want to kill our cows,

He's becoming more and more unhinged by the day.

President Donald Trump has launched a bizarre attack on the Green New Deal championed by progressive Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, telling a rally in Iowa on Thursday night that "they want to kill our cows" and, eventually, American farmers.

"During this campaign season, the good people of Iowa have had a front-row seat to the lunacy and the madness of the totally sick left," Trump told the crowd in Des Moines.

"The Green New Deal, which would crush our farms, destroy our wonderful cows. They want to kill our cows. You know why, right? You know why?"

"Don't say it. They want to kill our cows. That means you're next," he said, as the crowd laughed.

And I'm guessing that he didn't read the GND because if he did he wouldn't be saying anything that completely asinine. Requiring our farms to produce lower emissions and buying produce and locally sourced meat does not mean "Democrats want to murder cows and make them extinct, preventing you from eating cheeseburgers at the McDonald's drive thru.". Just the stupidity of it all....
