I believe that the farmers will get bailed out. They're mostly from 'red' states, right? Their senators, their agribusinesses will beg for them, and they'll be saved. Who's going to beg for the impoverished, the ill, the disabled, retirees dependent on Social Security? Who will cry for them?
Other than higher voter turnout for both sides, I haven’t noticed a big shift in WI’s votes with the April 2025 election for WI Supreme Court with a 55-45% win.
In April 2023, the Democratic-supported candidate for WI Supreme Court won c 55-45%. 19 months later — in November 2024 — Trump won WI.
From what I saw this past fall around WI farm country, WI farmers had more Harris signs in 2024 than they had Biden signs in 2020. Trump signs did outnumber Biden signs in 2020 and Harris signs in 2024, but the Trump v Democrats gap in WI farm signs was narrower in 2024 than in 2016 and in 2020.
The farmers, esp soybean farmers, got screwed last time yet STILL voted for him...even though they did better under Biden-Harris. No bailouts this time. Congress may actually have to invoke its power of the purpose. No aid until key govt services & laidoff employees are restored.
Remember that people. Farmers are critical. trump just shot them in the foot. God, he's such a bad president, a bad businessman, a threat to Americans.
TRAITOR TRUMP IMPOSING TARRIFFS ON MANY COUNTRIES IT DISRUPTS ALOT OF ECONOMYS ...NOTICE RUSSIA N.KOREA BELLARUS NOT ON THAT LIST ...WHY BECAUSE THESE COUNTRIES SUPPLY ARMS & TROOPS TO PUTIN TO AID IN WAR ON UKRAINE ...TRUMP IMPOSES TARIFFS EUROPE ETC CANT AFFORD $$ 4 WEAPONS 2 UKRAINE PUTIN WINS
And he’s removed all the cheap immigrant labourers who harvested the crops in the freezing cold of the early morning darkness! Same issue our Brexiteers caused in the U.K., and now crops rot in the fields because the locals won’t do the nasty jobs the immigrants were taking from them!
No bailouts. This is the person the vast majority of farmers voted for. No subsidies, no taxpayer handouts, no welfare to farmers. They should own their decision.
From memory he actually bragged about it, acted like the money came out of HIS pocket.
Said things like 'I did this, Joe Biden wouldn't have done it' ! sic
That's right, and this time he's evacuated all the Farmers employees to South American destinations as planting season nears, who will do this work and when Harvest comes, if there is one, who will help to Harvest
badly needed crops to feed the USA, and the World ?????
I don’t know about that. They support him. J6ers got pardoned, he may do the same for corporate farms. Must be nice to get money for voting for a felon and then sitting on your butt. I used to admire farmers for their work ethic but no more.
For the largest corporate farms you may be correct because they are already owned by the big guys. But the majority of farms are still family owned and it is these that will be bankrupted and purchased at below market value.
I do feel for the small farms. But the majority supported him and now we’re all paying the price, so my empathy threshold is not as high as it once was.
But his friends bought up thousands and thousands of acres of farmland from bankrupt farmers, for almost nothing, so it was a major victory in the oligarchs’ war on the rest of us.
Trumps only objective is to ensure the tax cut to the ultra wealthy sticks. Who pays? All Americans. In higher prices. Lower growth. Recession. Zero respect abroad. Liquidated trust with neighbouring countries and allies. Russia is still a friend though.
