Selling the USA one piece at a time, only $5 million. You are all stooped-over, fart smelling, mildewed, orange peel eating, scatophiliac, pre-cancerous masses with your left thumb so far up your nose that I can't see your right pinky.
Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.
