President Donald Trump just exposed yet another example of the radical Democrat regime’s war on hardworking Americans during an agriculture roundtable discussion in Wisconsin, this time, jailing people simply for fixing their own equipment.
Speaking before a crowd that included farmers and agricultural workers, Trump blasted government regulations that restrict Americans from repairing their own equipment and praised efforts to restore “right-to-repair” freedoms.
The president then recounted a case that left him stunned.
“The Democrats have a restriction that if you get caught fixing your tractor, they bring you to jail. You know that?” Trump told the crowd.
“Do you know that I pardoned a man last week who was sentenced to seven years in jail because he got caught fixing his car or his truck?”
Trump said he initially couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
“I said, ‘What did he do?’ Sir, he was fixing his truck.”
“I said, ‘How long is he getting?’ Seven years.”
“I said, ‘Say it again.’ It’s the first time I’ve ever heard it.”
According to Trump, he quickly intervened.
“Like two weeks ago, I gave him a pardon because he had to go to jail because he was fixing his tractor or his truck.”
“So I promise, Ken, if you ever get caught fixing your tractor or truck, I will give you a pardon, okay?”
Trump then turned his fire toward environmental regulations that have long frustrated farmers, truckers, and equipment owners.
