It's #NationalBurgerDay. The war on protein is over, and REAL American beef is back on the menu.

Yes: plant, not plastic. Proud to support @USDA, @SecRollins, and the Great American Cotton Plan. American-grown cotton supports our farmers, strengthens rural communities, fuels U.S. manufacturing, and gives families a natural alternative to synthetic, plastic-based materials. This plan helps Make America Healthy Again.

The Great American Cotton Plan. 🌱👖🇺🇸 This campaign is for everyone who believes in real products made by real American farmers.    Today in the beautiful Marana, Arizona alongside @SBA_Kelly and @RepCiscomani, and some of our great American farmers, @USDA launched the Great American Cotton Plan — a bold push to strengthen U.S. cotton, support our farmers, expand domestic manufacturing, grow exports, and put natural American-grown fibers back at the center of our economy. AND, this is another massive step as we battle to Make America Healthy Again and move away from foreign synthetic crud. LETS GO, @SecKennedy!! Under the Biden Administration, we lost our place as the top cotton exporter in the world… to Brazil. That all stops NOW.    American grown. Globally worn. Plant, not plastic. America, not Brazil. #AmericaFIRST
