Trump will be wasting more American tax dollars on Farmer subsidies in the coming weeks.
The net result from all of this is America will be spending more and raising deficits faster than during the Jackass's first term. MAGA-Make America Go Away.
Now they should get to D.C. and protest. They voted for it. Now THEY should do something to undo it because they will lose their livelihoods if they don’t.
If we’re to pay for our new import taxes, China is going to slap their import prices to their consumers, not our farmers. We’re not paying for both. What am i missing here?
Tariffs are taxes on the Consumer. The Republicans must look at their Congress and Senate members and see how they do not care about their state or their voters. These people are not politicians that the people voted for - they are Trumps puppets that are too afraid to stand up for what is right.
Amidst this nightmare there are reasons for optimism. But success requires continuing to ratchet up the pressure on Congress and the Administration. Turn fear into courage, because "courage is also contagious". Keep fighting. Read this to help fuel you: https://www.alternet.org/an-ever-stro...
I happen to know a trumper farmer or two.. I hope they lose everything, EVERYTHING.. that's one thing that would give me comfort in these shittiest of times.
Asia is self-sufficient and dominant in rice production. Our rice is more expensive due to higher labor, land, and environmental factors. We are not in a position to export significant quantities of rice.
And they will want a socialistic handout from the party that didn’t want the socialist/marxist/communist Harris in the Oval Office. My tax dollars shouldn’t go to stupid, MAGAtard voters.
More Amazon rainforest to be cleared making up the shortfall. S. American farmers will take up the slack.
Farmers will be looking for government handouts and corporate farms will swallow the little guy.
Are we winning yet??? Is this the winning we were told about?
These MAGA jagoffs don't realize there's not many things that Industrialzed Country A makes that Country B can't just buy from Industrialized Country C instead of A if A is an asshole.
#Brazil is throwing a second #Carnaval parade this month. #Trump fast tracks the demise of the #USD as the world's reserve currency. Brazil is already trading with #China & other countries in local currencies. #socialism is alive & well... Coming up #agricultural #subsidies paid by #taxpayers
Destroy America so you can declare it’s destroyed I have to stay in charge to fix it. Anyone paying attention knows this has been the plan all along. Fed to him by Putin.
It's ok, they will not mention it on fox news, so it does not exist. They just go bankrupt and blame Biden because he left Trump such a disastrous economy (best in the world, nr.1 but who is checking)
When you live in a Universe which doesn't truly exist, and believe the Countries you impose Tariffs on are going to come running to you and bend the knee...it's just another indication on how out of touch with reality you are TRUMP!
What an arrogant, self-absorbed man we have in the Oval-full stop!
South American soy, wheat and corn farmers are downright giddy at US foreign policy right now. Giddy. And they have every right to be. I wish them well as the new major agricultural trading partners for Europe and Asia.
they are not all that worried because Trump will just hand them billions in a bailout that the rest of us will have to pay for. It's beyond frustrating that we have to keep footing the bill for his stupidity and the worst part is, these farmers will continue to support him.
This is where the rage should be focused. These idiots vote for a guy who literally goes to war with their customer? Then they expect us to bail them out? It takes a special kind of stupid to go to war with your customer, they need to learn this way. NO FARM BAILOUT!
Yes, this is why so many people voted for trump in the first place, ironically. Because obama did that very thing for all the most gluttonous banks while families were losing careers & being made homeless.
Guess who else will get bailouts? Auto manufacturers, airlines, banks when people start foreclosing. Big business is always protected, small business goes under, big business and billionaires profit.
Here comes the farm bailout and subsidies from the government yet many of these farmers will still have to declare bankruptcy and will be selling off their land at dirt cheap prices to the oligarch vultures.
China will purchase the soybeans they need from Brazil and every other country who has surplus production. The beginning of the next dust bowl begins April 2025.
Shame on farmers, producers and ranchers for believing the Farm Bureau. Trump fucked you once, and you thought he wouldn't do it again.
A "stable genius" who thought slapping tariffs like stickers on a garage sale would make the world rush to invest in America-trade wars were "easy to win". But alas, investors prefer stability over a tantrum-prone despot who rewrites rules on a whim. Who could’ve seen that coming? Oh right—everyone.
The farmers are probably ok with this. They are assuming that Trump will bail them out again with subsidies. What they are failing to consider is that he no longer needs their votes.
Guaranteed china will be smart and hit the most sensitive areas knowing fully well it will cripple the US economy. I know that’s what I would be doing anyhow… Don’t underestimate the resolve of any of these nations that reciprocate. He thinks they will lay down, all together they have the cards
Last time Trump did this the gop congress passed a bill to pay the farmers for their loss. So they are not worried.
How about the 100,000 now unemployed fed workers? Auto workers coming soon? On and on. Watch now as Trump and maga cut unemployment benefits. They already killed snap.
No doubt - big AG is about to pick up thousands of family farms, destroying cities throughout the corn belt. Watch as fox news and their gop leaders blame it on liberals.
The Felon will lose bigger than ever before. It will be HUUUgh 😉 the biggest most beautiful thing no one has ever seen before. ( I didn't live in the depression but was raised by many who did...it was not beautiful)
WE ALL WARNED YOU. We actually CARED what would happen to you all and how it would negatively affect everyone in this nation and around the world. We REALLY, REALLY TRIED.
ND & MT farmers have made a LOT of money growing lentils, field peas, durum, chickpeas, and Hard Red Spring Wheat for the China market.
That went away this morning.
Guess what farmers in southern Alberta, Saskatchewan, & Manitoba are thinking.
And once those farmers lose that market, they don’t have any chance of getting it all back for years and years. They still don’t have the full markets back from Trump’s first term tariff debacle.
Most of these are "specialty" crops that need different combine headers, sprayers, etc.
Once the Canadians make the investment, the US farmers have competitors for life.
@krassenstein.bsky.social I wonder how all those corporations who poured money into the trump campaign to curry favor, who are now seeing their stock tumble, feel about him now?? Buyers remorse?
Doubtful, at the end of the day when everything is expensive, they’ll still have more money than us. And it’ll be enough to buy all the little companies that went out of business.
Hearing farmers are having trouble getting operating loans to plant for this season. They may not have much to try to sell anyway, until they go bankrupt and their farm is for sale
But, but the republicans said the farmers were happy about the tariffs! I mean I know soy is the third biggest crop grown here an more than 80% is sold to China…. But can’t be that bad… right?!….lol…. MAGA are straight up idiots that don’t understand how the world works.
because dems failed to communicate their ideas to fix the cost of the living crisis or at least explain the phenomenon in a way that's understood by the masses. Furthermore they should invest more in the swing states,plan beyond Cali and NY. Oh and the insane housing prices were cherryOnTop
Great. I hope they don't stop there. At one time it was inconceivable that I would wish america anything but the best. It clearly doesn't deserve it. Even the spell check has learned to write america with a small s.
Please take action @5calls.org @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social @generalstrikeus.bsky.social
Tax breaks and tariffs they want to bankrupt the working and middle class the extort our work and assets. Economic terrorism. Their greed will not end. Hands off protest April 5th.
Once again, the greatest pain will be on the red states, yet the maga sheep will continue to praise their dear leader with collateral damage to the West Coast states.
10 April China:huge

Let’s wait the other countries
Trump believed he was the king of the world? Actually,the countries are creating a new alliance thanks to him.
He will isolate US, people will commit suicide as in 1930 recession. people will commit suicide because of Trump
Jokes aside, American allies will all lean towards China, probably make new trade agreements and leaving the US out. The US will turn into a third world country.. all because of MAGA.
There will be big winnings, we will be sick of all these winnings.
That will be the biggest winnings the world have ever seen since the beginning
🤡🍊👍🏻😂😂🤡🍊😂🤡🍊😂😎
The farmers are screwed but then again they voted for him. It cost 23 billion during his first term to bail out the farmers after he got high and mighty with China.
It's just a slightly more sophisticated version of Trump's "people keep telling me . . . " There are no people. Trump never speaks to ordinary people other than in tightly scripted events, and then he doesn't listen anyway.
Economists with "imaginary friends" seem totally unsurprising here.
Voting for him was dumb, but I'm starting to think the non-voters may be an even dumber segment of the population that robs me of any hope for the future any time one of them pipes up in a comments section
And I just wanna point out everybody keeps arguing that he is a legal citizen, but if he was an illegal alien before getting his citizenship, then that means he did not get his citizenship legally!
I guess China didn't get the warning about retaliating? The only people I feel bad for is people that voted for Kamala. All you idiots that keep saying "Both sides are just as bad" and voted third party...While that is true, Trump is *WAY* worse. Good Job.
It’s what they wanted. Just keep repeating that when you start hearing stories of pain. Hands over ears and go “lalalala”. I’m not Christian but am a vindictive son of a bitch.
Sure did, and since the GMO corn was introduced into fields, farmers have to purchase seeds, because a GMO seed doesn't reproduce like tiger non GMO seedlings would, making farmers dependent on purchasing seeds from??? Can you guess??
Happy prelude birthday day! Let the festivities begin. I understand. I turned 63 a few weeks back. No parade, no hoops, no cake, nada had a is what I wanted and that's what I got. My doctors and some
Vendors sent me well wishes and birthday cards, but that because of the money I spend with them.
The seeds reproduce okay. The issue is that Monsanto among others lobbied to pass laws that the genetic codes are company property and that reproducing the seeds on your own is theft. They have pursued charges against farms found doing so or even when pollen blows into an adjacent farmers field.
What? Now how did they manage to get that done? I never heard of this policy law, of course I am not an ag person. I was in an FFA club in the 70's and then shifted from small town country life to a Metropolitan life. But that's just absurd. To be clear, the data I had was that GMO seeds didn't
Thank you very much. I must admit, I didn't set aside as much time to study this issue, as I have others. I certainly appreciate any information....all
Of our times are valuable in many ways. Thank you again.
the farmers were already sucking wind when trump cancelled USAID.
it was their surplus crops that were bought for the poor starving children.
big Ag is rubbing their hands, droolin in wait.
They are also adding 11 US companies to their "unreliable entities list" that won't be allowed to do business with China and putting import/export controls on 10 others. Cant find these lists anywhere yet. China may not have published yet. Also putting export controls on rare earth minerals to US
They don’t care. WE will save their sorry asses with subsidies. We support these grifters after they vote for fascists so they can sit their asses on the couch and rake in cash for crops they don’t plant. IMO they do it on purpose.
Yes, I’m aware but that’s what these POS say about everyone else.

Because grocery prices will skyrocket, and that my friends, is a party ender. Instant recession.

For all those caged, AI surveillance “freedom” cities him and Thiel want to enforce
At this point, I am a bit more concerned about their long term vision.
Most of their “policy” ideas have been sown and there might not be enough brakes.

Yes
Why not just stop buying from the USA? I know 🤯 it’s complicated.
Hence, Chinese people will be buying much less American goods.
Hence, buying more goods from places like Canada!
Crash the economy
Crush MAGA.
That went away this morning.
