Oh my gosh. So these tariffs are going to cost more money for Americans if Trump would have just left it alone and I could see increasing it wanted 2% but not this 100% dropping it down to what 30%, this government of trump has to go
Soooo, we bail out Bankers, Airplane Manufacturers, and Farmers, Ranchers. Seems like we subsidize the Milk industry. Ladies & Gentlemen we've been Socialist for a very, very long time. You might want to get used to it. Tax payers have👽
But they don’t want to provide basic services to the poor and working class, they cancel meals on wheels and USAID (which hurt farmers), cut healthcare, cut SNAP, cut FEMA. etc., etc. It’s only socialism for those they deem worthy. STOP VOTING FOR THEM!
The difference this time is that the Chinese market isn't coming back. They are now able to replace our agricultural goods by buying from places like Brazil and Argentina. They have built these markets and made trade deals since the last time Trump messed tariffs. Farmers have lost China.
Further, Canadian and Brazilian and Australian farmers who now have these 5-year contracts will invest heavily in new machinery in order to run their operations. Those farmers won’t abandon those investments just because Trump drops US tariffs. These US farmers have new global competitors for life.
The orange one can play the role of a bully, but he will always back down when people stand up against him! This was not a trade war. This was an atrocity of political judgment!
This is upsetting because now a huge part of his base will only think how trump saved them, never realizing it was trumps fault in the first place. They will be even more pro trump, If that’s even possible.
Correct, Trump had to do the same thing the last time he was in office! Republicans always increase government spending, or reduce tax income, but blame the Democrats as being socialists.
Oh, come on. Everyone knows Republicans only believe in socialism for them, not anyone else. When I asked a Republican neighbor why he always had his hand out if he didn't believe federal government should provide money. Answer: As long as they make it available, I should be able to get it too.
Apparently a lot of farmers who voted for him thought it would be different. This is socialism, so is all the top down ruling and his trying to set prices at Walmart.
Oh, they "say" that they're gonna start paying farmers $14.5 billion in August??? Don't count on it, farmer. If it's one thing we've seen from STUMP, he rarely puts the money where his mouth is...
Listen not to what STUMP says, watch what he does...
And these farmers will be singing his praises for it.
Straight out of Machiavelli's playbook. Repress the people, take their income, then give back a trickle. It keeps them in line because they won't risk the little you still allow them.

B as in Billion.
USAID typically spends around $2 billion annually on agricultural commodities purchased from US farmers.
Most will probably go to agribusiness.
But everything else is waste and fraud
Isn't this just the same argument as the right's "solving homelessness?"
Small farmers? Big corporations?
This is just socialism/communism in their language.
Listen not to what STUMP says, watch what he does...
They KNEW that $Trump would award them ANOTHER massive agricultural welfare check.
Donnie&Co is now MAGAmerica Farm Cooperative!
