Siri, if American farmers don't have export markets, does that help them or hurt them?

Reposted from Aaron Rupar

Trump on the EU possibly banning food imports from the US: "I don't mind. Let them do it. Let them do it."

It's ONLY about $50,000,000,000.00 a year.

I feel like I read about this once, maybe in a history book...?

moominpapa.bsky.social•6 days ago

The latter, but as you know, Trump still doesn't mind.

drjamesjteeth.bsky.social•6 days ago

Obviously he intends to drive down the cost of food in the US by bankrupting farmers.

jsrosenblum.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hurts until Trump pushes a farmer rescue payment thru Congress like he did the last time this happened.

American farming companies. I’m sure Monsanto stock is reflecting this uncertainty, right?

So food will rot

The immense irony of him wearing that dumb hat — with the shit hole he has managed to create, in just a few short weeks.

blaube.bsky.social•6 days ago

A good example of how Trump has no understanding of consequences.

yeahjeetsyeah.bsky.social•6 days ago

His stupidity is only superseded by his callousness.

tdb011235.bsky.social•6 days ago

He's hellbent on running this country into the ground. Anyone who can't see that by now is either blind or good with it.

Because when U.S. farmers need to sell their farms, because they’re out of money, the broligarchs will be right there to buy ‘em up, at a bargain basement, chump change price. That’s absolutely the plan.

incompetusrex.bsky.social•6 days ago

This country is being led by petulant children incapable of thinking more than one or two moves ahead.

tcnorthcoast.bsky.social•6 days ago

Look at jd vance’s acre trader app. He will make millions when farmers lose their farms.

shuadc.bsky.social•6 days ago

Autarky for me but not for thee. Well I mean I guess that’s kind of the nature of autarky

Jesus Christ, time to diversify my portfolio into cigarettes, alcohol, and bottle caps.

papacouseybear.bsky.social•6 days ago

I learned long ago that one can make a lot of money investing in Sin

joehaydu.bsky.social•6 days ago

Very interested in learning what type of sin one commits with bottle caps

After the whole Gulf of America thing I wouldn’t be surprised if Siri and Alexa start giving the answers as learned from Trump University.

qlippot.bsky.social•6 days ago

Never mind the fact we were effectively running another farm subsidy purely by buying US crops for humanitarian aid.

laceydurham.bsky.social•6 days ago

Last time he just bailed out the farmers, remember?

grantdawg.bsky.social•6 days ago

Corporate farmers. He ran lots of family farms out of business. This will likely kill the rest. The big corps will all get bailed out. Meanwhile, they will lay off farm workers not needed to get the huge subsidies. The rich get socialism, and the poor get screwed.

laceydurham.bsky.social•6 days ago

I’m sure you’re right but the family farm owners sure didn’t turn against him en masse, did they? There was no dearth of support for him in rural areas this past election, sadly.

grantdawg.bsky.social•6 days ago

Nope. It is all bout hurting the "other." They were convinced he would punish those people and not themselves. The very embodiment of cutting your nose off to spite your face.

andkenbrbr.bsky.social•5 days ago

Part of the problem is that with automation there are less and less people working with agriculture. In some sense rural areas are large exurbs more than rural areas.

1dgrn.bsky.social•6 days ago

And those idiots voted for him. No export markets, no USAID market. So much winning.

New tic tok about the farmers and leopards about to drop.

grungehamster.bsky.social•6 days ago

"Don't worry, Americans can easily cover the export shortfall of soybeans (which they should not eat because it makes you trans/gay/weak per conservative talking points.)"

scottgoeke.bsky.social•6 days ago

Siri:

“The answer to that question is irrelevant unless you all really get hopping on that ‘send Americans on anti-depressants to work farms’ plan by harvest time”

moongirlsusie.bsky.social•6 days ago

Does Trump care about anything?
Yes to:
-Lining his own pocket
-Harming the powerless
-Disrespecting our real allies
-Being a patsy for other country's dictators
-Money
-Money
-Money
-Money ...
