IRAN WAR UPDATE: "That's a beautiful tractor, a gold tractor. Somebody had me in mind. That's a hell of a tractor" [View all]

Trump was vowing to cut costs for farmers who have been hurt by rising costs when he got distracted by a massive gold tractor.

The president, 79, was speaking on the Truman Balcony overlooking the White House grounds about cutting regulations when he looked down at the shiny machine on the lawn.

“We are working very hard and very quickly to get rid of the horrible chains placed on tractor suppliers,” Trump said before looking at the tractor without taking a beat.

“That’s a beautiful tractor. That’s a gold tractor. Somebody had me in mind,” Trump declared. “What’s that all about? That’s a hell of a tractor.”
