"We have to put them in certain areas but we have the brand new Sherman tanks and we have the brand new Abram tanks," Trump said, according to a pool report.
"You know we're making a lot of new tanks right now. We're building a lot of new tanks in Lima, Ohio – our great tank factory that people wanted to close down until I got elected and I stopped it from being closed down, and now it's a very productive facility and they do, nobody's the greatest tank in the world,”
First, John Boehner was cramming tanks in every opening he could. The Army requested no more tanks and please use the money for requested items. Nope. You’re getting the tanks and we’re taking that budget money to Ohio.
