Across the US this year, farmers have seen costs soar and the price of their produce tumble as Donald Trump’s flagship tariffs sparked a trade war with China.
American farmers, who voted en masse for Trump last year, are now warning of the worst economic crisis since the 1980s, when soaring interest rates and a slump in exports saw the price of crops and the value of farmland collapse. About 300,000 farmers defaulted on their loans and thousands were driven into bankruptcy.
“We spent a hell lot of time in China building relationships, building those markets,” he said. “And then you basically piss it all away, to be blunt.”

He was never your friend you fucken ass breathers. Idk how you could hear any of his rhetoric as a farmer who relies on exports and be like "fuck yeah I'm gonna be way better off!" Go grab the shared braincell from Bo and sit in a corner to think about your logic there.

Trump is just here to oversee the dismantling and selling off of American assets and making the country even more of a collection of confused slaves that it already is, because the powers that be no longer have national but global interests, and to get some bribe money in the process. Everything else is spin.

It's not like the Democrats would try and capitalize on it. They believe these places are too entrenched.
But someone needs to help educate the farmers on what social policies would do to help them. If no one ever tries to change the conversation there. What do we expect them to do except what they've always been doing.

You're on the brink of war with Venezuela, they've removed Calibri font from federal documentation, and half of the White House has been demolished while the rest of the building is vandalized. And all the while, it's more expensive to feed yourself.
Facing bankruptcy is a small price to pay, when you get all of these things.
This is what we lovingly call the “Find out” portion of your fucking around.

Argentina got a massive handout because Trump's buddies were about to lose the election. If you're a loyal republican, all that means is no one will ever have to help you because they know they still have your vote.

Quick! Join the army. BOOM! $1,776.00 dollars in your pocket. Or, as they used to call it, "30 pieces of silver". Fuck Trump. Farmers and minimum wage retail/fast food workers are the most important people out in that capitalist quagmire and should be treated way better than they are.
