    Don’t worry he said other horrible things outside that short clip too like claiming climate change sea level rise isn’t an issue because it would make more beach front properties somehow. (I don’t think he understands that raising sea levels generally cause beaches to get smaller and flood existing properties)

    He also reiterated his plans to completely remove the department of education (also a policy point in project 2025, isn’t it strange how he lines up with that)

      Due to area decreasing by the square of the scale factor, the ratio of beach to area increases despite the size of beach decreasing. A higher ratio still means you’re losing beachfront, but I wouldn’t expect Trump to understand simple geometry.
