What? Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump 0:34
Or a small business. Now, I saw it myself. You have a way of life. That sometimes you're land rich and cash poor. Sometimes you have lots of different conditions. But people that are on farms love being on farms. You wouldn't trade my life. You wouldn't want my life. Believe me, you don't want it. Your life is much better than my life. I will tell you, your ear was a little pierced over here. You didn't get pierced. You have a nice, safe, beautiful life.

Look at that. I mean, look at that. It just opened yesterday. Just we just opened it. So there was going to take four years, 400 million. It took really about a month. Okay, can you imagine Washington between Lincoln? Think of Washington, D.C. between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington. Just think about this. You know that beautiful spire? in honor of the great George Washington and the beautiful Lincoln Memorial. So between there, thousands of feet long, it was built in 1922. And to be honest, it never really worked. It leaked like a sieve because it was stone and concrete.

Donald Trump 2:17
As they say in the farming business, we had to take care of business. Look at this guy over here. I don't know who the hell he is, but he is one hell of a specimen, I can tell you. This guy, this is one hell of a physical specimen. I thought I was big until I met you, Joe. Fantastic. That's what I like. Anyway, I just want to let you all know that I'm thrilled to be here at Custer Farms and Ken and his family.
Ben Meiselas 2:43
They're amazing. Then Donald Trump called up Jordan Schultz, a gold medalist, and had Jordan Schultz gave Trump the gold medal and Trump started wearing the gold medal. And then Trump said, I forgot to touch his leg. His legs are like a rock. I want to touch his legs. Play the clip.

Donald Trump 3:52
If we can, fellas, I got to get back to a place called Washington and protect you, okay? So if you go very quickly, we don't need your life story other than I like the Olympic guy and I like this guy right over here. And Jordan Stahls would like to have you say a couple of words too, okay? Hey, Jordan, why don't you start? Go ahead.
Ben Meiselas 4:12
Well, first I want to thank you to all the farmers who are here. And I don't think people really understand how much. Then Trump said that the word affordability is a word that's made up. It's not real. And I'm good at making up words also, he says. Play this clip.
Donald Trump 4:29
