9. He not only wants grass, he claims he knows more about it than anyone in the world

and to demonstrate this, he told the assembled law officers that it has a life.

Trump addressed a group of law enforcement officers in preparation for his ride-along as officials patrol the streets of Washington, D.C. Thursday evening. He said that he’s proud to be cleaning up the streets of D.C.

“This place was emblematic of it with the crime, the horrible crime,” Trump said about the nation’s decline. “I watch these phony reports. ‘We were on the way back.’ They weren’t on the way back. It was worse than ever just a short while ago. Now, right now it is better than it has been in years. In a couple of weeks, it’s going to be far better than that. Everybody is safe now. Everybody feels safe. They are all coming in. People are coming in. They are making reservations. They want to be in Washington, D.C.”

That’s when Trump broke into the vegetation portion of his speech:

One of the things we are going to be redoing are your parks. I’m very good at grass, because I have a lot of golf courses all over the place. I know more about grass than any human being I think anywhere in the world. We are going to be re-grassing your parks, all brand new sprinklers systems, the best that you can buy. Just like Augusta. It will look like Augusta. It will look, more importantly, like Trump National Golf Club. That’s even better.

We are gonna have all brand-new beautiful grass. You know, like everything else, grass has a life. You know that? Grass has a life. We have a life, and grass as a life. The grass here died about 40 years ago. So, we’re gonna be rebuilding all of your parks, and it is gonna happen fast. It’s going to go up like a miracle. You do the job on safety, and I’ll get this place picked up physically. And, we’re going to be so proud of it.

At the end of six months, but let’s say at the end of a year, this place will be maxed out in terms of beauty. You’ll have all new surfaces, you’ll have all new medians. Everything’s going to look beautiful. A lot of your signs are going to be taken down. They’ve been up for 40 years, they look like hell. They look — they’re barely standing up, they’re falling off their holders. And we’re gonna have all new everything.

He makes Chance the gardener look like sophisticated thinker.
