Trump posted a version of Paul Harvey's famous "So God Made a Farmer" video in which HE is the subject. It's just as weird and messianic as you'd think.

Former President Donald Trump is now at the “go to any lengths necessary” stage of his public career to get attention. To wit? He just posted a satirical version of Paul Harvey’s famous “So God Made a Farmer” video in which HE is the subject.

And yes, it’s just as creepy and a messianic bit of messaging that will cause many to cringe but others to fall to their knees in supplication.

The former president shared the video on his Truth Social account and was included in a slew of “joking but not joking” and over-the-top political videos for which Trump is known.

    Ah. It came directly from the Paul Harvey speech:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_God_Made_a_Farmer

    I need somebody with arms strong enough to wrestle a calf and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild; somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry, have to await lunch until his wife’s done feeding visiting ladies, then tell the ladies to be sure and come back real soon, and mean it.

    So it’s not even satire, it’s a dumb copy

      So Paul Harvey was also kind of sick and twisted is what you’re saying. (I already knew this.)

      Ironic. The farmers I personally know really dislike the hundreds of thousands of dollars Trump recently cost them via his misrule.

      But read the title, “So God made a farmer”. The fact that farmers aren’t ready to fight someone over this.

      If some one came after tubby middle aged nerds like that I’d… eat a donut so angrily.
