Hey Stable Genius, I heard you told some folks that you gave them the “privilege” of voting for you. You’re wrong. You have the privilege of serving us. That’s why it’s called public service, not public overlordship. — Walter Shaub (@waltshaub) January 8, 2018

Trump made the remarks at the American Farm Bureau Federation's annual convention in Tennessee.

"We are streamlining regulations that have blocked cutting-edge biotechnology, setting free our farmers to innovate, thrive and to grow,” Trump said.

“Oh, are you happy you voted for me. You are so lucky that I gave you that privilege," he continued to laughs and cheers.

Shaub resigned from the administration last year. He has criticized Trump over the president’s business interests, both during his term and since leaving his office.
