Trump: 'I love cranes. I love trucks of all types' [View all]

“I love cranes. I love trucks of all types. Even when I was a little boy at 4 years old my mother would say, ‘you love trucks,’” Trump told a crowd of workers at a Shell petrochemical plant in Monaca. “I do. I always loved trucks. I still do.”

“Nothing changes,” he continued. “Sometimes, you know, you might become president, but nothing changes. I still love trucks ...”

Trump has repeatedly emphasized the manufacturing sector as he moves toward next year's election, often citing his personal history as a real estate developer.

In 2017, the president had a viral moment when he pretended to drive a tractor-trailer during a photo-op at the White House with leaders from the trucking industry.
