I rewarded our farmers with a payment of $28 Billion Dollars, all through the China deal. It was a great transaction for the USA, until Crooked Joe Biden came in and didn’t enforce it
Just the choice of “rewarded” makes me want to punch his face in
For the curious, there’s a very good Mastodon thread by North Carolina farmer @[email protected] about modern family farm economics and farmers who still support Trump:
“The same thing happened in my First Term,” he added
And somehow they voted for him again
stupid fucking idiots…
if you have a family generational farm, best to remember what made it work back in the day and consider local crops because you ain’t sellin shit outside the country for the next few years
I thought sending your children into the fields was what made those farms work?
Ah the good ol’ days when farmers had 10+ kids.
Only 5 made it to adulthood due to diseases like measles, mumps, influenza, whooping cough etc. , poor and dangerous working conditions, and no healthcare. Of those 5 remaining, 1 of them died in childbirth, and 1 died in a random war and 3 went on to have kids of their own.
Not if it’s cotton…
For cattle ranchers, the tariffs will likely result in the loss of one of their biggest customers—they sold $1.6 billion worth of beef to China last year.
Good, I hope those farms burn to the ground
They won’t. A private equity group will buy them up to consolidated land.
And then they’ll whine about how the gays stole their land.
Let’s crowdfund a farm buyout and turn it into a gay sex forest.
Scissor me timbers!
Sounds good. I can contribute about tree fiddy.

“Our farmers are GREAT, but because of their GREATNESS, they are always put on the Front Line with our adversaries, such as China, whenever there is a Trade negotiation or, in this case, a Trade War,”
Must be nice, being a farmer and then Trump calls you GREAT…

It’s okay, banks take compliments in exchange for debt service payments, right???
$28B is not going to be a big enough bailout this time. Guess what happens when all these farmers start trying to offload their pork, soybeans, and sorghum into the US market?
I’m trying my best to swap to non US imports now that the FDA won’t be checking any of the food we produce anymore.
The happy cucks then wipe their faces and say “thank you”
