        Oh so you want those cows in saudi arabia to starve then? Because that’s what’s gonna happen if we don’t let our brave farmers dump thousands of gallons of water on to a desert to make alfalfa.

        What? No! You wait for the train like its a Disney waterpark… No shoes, the floor is tar covered in burnt ketchup stains with absolutely no cover under the full sun. The entire ride - No AC. But each ride is $200 bucks thanks. Lol.

    Guess he weighed his options. He’s trying to piss off the left and tack right for his presidential run, and this move would piss off the right, but he can go into 2028 showing off a big infra project and his “I get shit done” bona fides
