When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
Every morning to help me get large
And now that I’m grown I eat five dozen eggs
So I’m roughly the size of a barge!

He’s just living up to the motto of the Trump campaign “what we have here is a failure to communicate”.
Yeah, I’ll be “that guy:”
Captain: What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.
Still fits. Maybe even better.
Are his kids in training for Rocky?
I think Vance may not understand how normal people eat eggs. It sounds like he’s setting up a breakfast buffet every morning.
Well, maybe the help is. I don’t expect that Vance could make a scrambled egg if you spotted him the microwave and a ramekin.
Is that some weird East coast thing like “crudité”?
Ramekin. Used for custards or shirred eggs, among other things.
Apparently, yes. 
Now, a scrambled egg should be made in a pan or on a griddle, but I was making it easy for Hillibilli Vanilli. We make eggs for our dogs in ramekins because it’s about as easy as it can be to make an egg in one, and they don’t care if the eggs are slightly cylindrical. 
They taste the same.
and I will now, and forever, pronounce “crudité” as “crud-ite”.
Snerk.
Trump to farmers: Vote for me and I’ll triple the price of your equipment!
In 2023, John Deere reported about $10 billion in profit from about $61 billion in sales. I’m sure they’ll be happy to keep prices the same for farmers, by covering a 200% tariff from their >checks the math< 16% annual profit.
Trump math!
I hate to be the Trump sane-splainer, but what he was trying to do was tell John Deere to sell to Americans products made in America.
The effect of a 200% tariff would be to cause American farmers to buy from John Deere’s competitors, preferably whoever was smart enough to make those in America (and there are several) . Farmers might pay slightly higher prices, but wouldn’t pay the 200%. Thus, John Deere would lose market.
Alternative (and more likely) interpretation: He was speaking pure frontier gibberish.
'Tis the dialect of the common clay of the new West. You know?
There would also be a sudden supply shock to the market when John Deere’s tractors become effectively unaffordable, and prices would spike until domestic supply (by JD or competitors) matches demand.
Until those new tractor factories are up and running, farmers would play significantly higher prices - or go without. So not triple the price, but I’m guessing a 50% markup wouldn’t be impossible.
Any law that slapped a tariff on John Deere would also apply to every other tractor manufacturer outside the US. So Kubota, et al would be in the same boat as Deere.
The boat keel would run over the farmers foot (collectively) as it launched.
