He will spend billions to bail them out AGAIN. Unnecessary waste of taxpayer funds because he makes moronic decisions. Are we great again yet?

Tax the people with the tariffs and bail out the farmers. Out of the deal, right?

mtriverrafter.bsky.social•5 days ago

Correct. I think it makes more sense if you have suffered brain damage.

Yep, he bailed out the soy farmers in his first term right?

mtriverrafter.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yep, 28B. That represented 92% of all the tariff revenue. He’s a moron.

Hate to wish ill will on other folks but it might take this level of adversity for them to finally see the lies.

It hurts us too BUT yeah WTAF did these idiots think was going to happen? Didn’t he do this during his first term to them? I guess if “he” hates the same people they do it’s ok.🤷‍♀️

‘Here’s your check’: Trump’s massive payouts to farmers will be hard to pull back

The president was already spending double his predecessor to spare farmers the cost of his trade war. Now the price is reaching unsustainable levels. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/14/donald-trump-coronavirus-farmer-bailouts-359932

The Trump administration gave more taxpayer dollars to farmers harmed by the administration’s trade policies than the federal government spends each year building ships for the Navy or maintaining America’s nuclear arsenal. https://www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2020/01/21/trump-tariff-aid-to-farmers-cost-more-than-us-nuclear-forces/

Farmers:

And the insane thing is most of them will vote for the R/Maga candidate again (or Trump if he decided to run)

bterrier71.bsky.social•5 days ago

And farm state R congress folks will quietly mumble the tariffs are amazing but could we make some minor tweaks?

Maybe some will feel inspired to read, for advice on what to do with the dogs and grandparents as they become untenable.
