Most farmers are millionaires and that's the only reason Trump has some interest in this topic. It will be somewhat interesting in seeing who he goes after. Hopefully, it will be one of the contributors to his library, ballroom or some other grifts he's got going.

Oh, and bats may be blind eyesight, but they can see well enough to feed, take care of themselves and their young and not destroy whole ecosystems, unlike the orange turd.
