At one point, he showed off charts that not everyone attending could see. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"3\">The White House said Trump would be hitting the road ahead of November&#8217;s midterm elections to promote Republican candidates.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"4\">&#8220;We love the farmers, we love everything about your state,&#8221; Trump told his audience during a roundtable at Custer Farms, which makes a unique heat-processed soybean product used to feed animals on dairy farms.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"5\">&#8220;Wisconsin for me has been just a great place. It&#8217;s known as difficult. It&#8217;s difficult. You gotta be good to win. But we won here, as you know. We won it a lot. We&#8217;re trying to figure out who the few people who voted against us are. We&#8217;re looking for them right now,&#8221; Trump said. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"6\">Even when he finally returned to comments about farmers, Trump said, &#8220;I&#8217;m up here today. I don&#8217;t need this. I got elected.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"7\">Rallying for his party ahead of the midterm elections, Trump described the Republican Party as the only option for farmers. He said Democrats&#8217; policies are &#8220;just outstandingly bad&#8221; and &#8220;really bad for the farmer.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"8\">Trump also reiterated his confidence that the war in Iran will soon come to an end and gas prices will fall.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"9\">&#8220;As they say in the farming business, we had to take care of business,&#8221; Trump said.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"10\">Ahead of Trump&#8217;s visit, Democrats slammed the president&#8217;s rural agenda. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"11\">&#8220;Well, Trump&#8217;s coming here to tout his MAGA agenda while farmers and working families are struggling; it&#8217;s just totally out of touch and a slap in the face to the people of western Wisconsin,&#8221; state Sen. Jeff Smith said.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"12\">Several famous Wisconsin sports stars joined Trump at Custer Farms.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"13\">Kewaskum native and Olympic gold medalist Jordan Stolz shared one of his medals with the president.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"14\">Sitting to his left at the roundtable was Joe Thomas, who played football at Brookfield Central and Wisconsin. He&#8217;s an NFL Hall of Famer and a farm owner himself.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"15\">Top Headlines<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"17\">WATCH Police find &#8216;explosive materials&#8217; at West Allis landscaping company<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Trump visits northwestern Wisconsin to talk agriculture Trump also detailed efforts to improve the Lincoln Memorial&#8217;s Reflecting&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":102432,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2],"tags":[333,53654,53655,53658,486,12,5818,68,34,53656,53657,11459,3947,4257,26321,1076,53659,74,954],"class_list":["post-102431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-donald-trump","tag-agriculture","tag-chippewa-falls","tag-custer-farms","tag-dairy-farms","tag-democrats","tag-donald-trump","tag-farmers","tag-gas-prices","tag-iran","tag-joe-thomas","tag-jordan-stolz","tag-lincoln-memorial","tag-maga","tag-midterm-elections","tag-reflecting-pool","tag-republicans","tag-rural-agenda","tag-trump","tag-wisconsin"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@people\/116700276758697520","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102431"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102431\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
