In North Dakota, many farmers are still recovering from the 2018 trade war and are now bracing for more losses as President Trump levies sweeping tariffs on everything from soybeans to pork.

Thoughts and prayers. Funny how they want to cut government spending and stand with their hands out for subsidies when the politicians and policies they want harm them. Let them go bankrupt, they asked for it, they need to pay for what they did. You know, the party of personal responsibility.
“North Dakota went big for Trump.”
I go big on you literally bet the farm…I hope you lose it! And I wouldn’t be sad if some freedom sores blew your way.
Feeling regret yet? Next time around don’t vote republican….a vote for a republican is a vote against your best interests. Don’t be taken in by their campaign lies. They’ll tell you anything to get your vote.
800,000 people with Two Senators? They've been pushing the Republican Bull 💩 onto us for Years. I'm supposed to care about their Hardship? Sure that's happening. Republicans will bail the Survivors out.
Don’t be fooled. ND is not small family farms. It’s a few corporate families whining and grazing on federal subsidies, voted down lunch for school kids but have budget surpluses from oil. I feel for the true family farmers but not corporate farming- there is a big difference!
How many of them voted for him again AFTER 2018?! How many? Because I’m going to bet almost all. Voters continue to vote for Republicans who continue to screw them over. Have some standards for heavens sake.
The sad thing is, I have tons of respect for farmers & I don't want to see independent farming hurt.
I'm a little heartbroken they can't understand my bleeding heart bleeds for them, too, because I was able to get an education & wasn't indoctrinated into a cult so I can forsee what will happen.
Yes, let's hear from the farmers. And while we're at it, they can tell us if climate change is real, and how they are handling the labor shortage since immigrants are so sparse now.
Some of you hit the nail on the head, Trump puts them in a position where he needs to write them checks to survive and they and bamboozled again, also most of them that I know have nothing but vitriol for anyone on a gov program and begrudge there handout and now this to come.
Ironic that most rural areas were big for Trump which includes farmers and now he has put them and many others in this position. Do they still support him? Sadly it seems a lot still do for some reason beyond me 🤷🏼
Yeah, well. Abt a third of this country voted for the felon; abt a third didn't vote at all. So when it's "find out" time, it is indeed ugly. I guess no one stopped to figure out the repercussions. Now they're getting hit with them in the face.
Fuck you....fuck every god dam one of you. You voted for a treasonous fascist authoritarian. You chose hatred and bigotry over our countries well being
WHY IS THE ENTIRE WORLD ALLOWING TRUMP AND PUTIN TO LEAD AND BULLY?! STOP THEM!!! GIVE US ALL AN EFFIN BREAK?! ANYONE?!!! SHAME ON US ALL FOR ALLOWING TWO MEN TO DO THIS! LEADERS WHERE ARE YOU?’
Maybe Jeff Bezos should buy all their farms when they are foreclosed on and we can just have everything centralized. I think that's the plan anyway. Isn't that why they're collapsing the government, so like five guys will own everything and everyone?
That's pretty much what happened during the last trade war. Small family farms went bankrupt, and giant agribusinesses bought up the land at a steep discount.
Well, the corporate-nations will be a global network. There will be no nation-states. The billionaires will own the whole planet and everyone everywhere will be their serfs. So 'foreigners' won't really matter.
The orange guy wants to give South African farmers citizenship to come here and work the farms. I think it will be the ones with the money that will be buying up the farms and hiring the previous owners or immigrants to work them.
I have nothing left for Trump voters.
News outlets could literally cut and paste the same shit stories that try to make us feel bad for them from his last shit show.
dont care, and these same idiots will be the first to lose their homes and health insurance (looking at the picture he might need heart/ cholesterol help soon)
Farmers have benefitted from federal protections for decades and expect it now. I am afraid that smaller, private farms will be abandoned this time and only Big Ag will be "made whole" once the dust settles.
Farmers losing their farm, while fitting, will be disastrous for the US. The broligarchs are foaming at the mouth to carve up the country into fiefdoms. They’ll buy up all of the bank-owned assets and control food production through prison labour.
They deserve it. I don’t say that lightly. They were warned. It had already happened once.
Wait until their safety net disappears. That rock bottom is hard - and painful.
Too bad losers. Should have thought about that before you went all fascists. Hope y'all lose everything, there needs to be a penalty for supporting evil.
We did try to tell you, some of us at GREAT personal risk. SOME of us tried OVER AND OVER and alienated BOSSES, NEIGHBORS, WIVES, HUSBANDS. You guys would rather believe some NUT JOB on X. So here we are. *same for ANT VAXXERS, believe your pal you never met on X over your doctor of 30years
Here's what pisses me off.
Trump screwed farmers during his first term and they didn't get it. He is ramping up to do them even dirtier and many still didn't get that it's all him.
My husband is a farmer and has never wanted anything to do with that 💩 show, but he gets lumped in with them. 😕
Do they understand that Trump is destroying the country for Putin, his favorite oligarch? It isn’t incompetence. It’s competent purposeful destruction.
Cry me a river... They got what they deserved for believing all the lies the Republicans told them. Their greed is their undoing.
And it's not over yet.

At least 20 years ago they would vote for dems in the senate and house, not any more
You voted for this! Do cry about it, Canada has great farms
We will suffer because they voted for our suffering.

“still recovering from 2018 trade wars”
Make it make sense.
This folks?
STOP FUCKING VOTING FOR REPUBLICANS AND COMPLICIT DEMOCRATS!?!!?!
Sweet fucking christ you stupid fucking assholes you have elections routinely and constantly without fail vote against your own interests.
The shame *is* on Trumps voters. Why Oh why did they think this would be different? Jeeeez

Congratulation to non consequential thinking.
Maybe that's why it should be 1 person 1 vote.
This is the stupidest country.
Wait until their safety net disappears. That rock bottom is hard - and painful.
Enjoy your 25% tariffs on potash.
Hope it was worth it.
