USDA Discloses Cost Of Huge Kim Jong-Trump Banner

The Washingtonian reports:

The US Department of Agriculture spent $16,400 to hang two banners in May outside its headquarters on Independence Avenue in Washington, DC, government documents show. One banner honored Abraham Lincoln. The other featured the glowering face of President Trump.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins posted a video on X on May 15 that begins, amid stirring music, with footage that purports to show Civil War soldiers and says that amid that war’s deprivations, Lincoln “planted a seed” that resulted in the US establishing USDA in 1862.

Then, shifting into lurid black and white footage, it blasts former President Biden for turning the department into a “bloated bureaucracy, wasting billions while America’s farmers were left behind.” Under Trump, the video says, its images bleeding back into color, the department is being restored and is “focused on its mission of putting farmers first.”

For 163 years, @USDA has helped usher in a golden age of American agriculture.

Under @POTUS, the People’s Department is being restored — leaner, stronger, and laser focused on its mission of putting farmers first.
