This has always been the biggest WTF... they were crushed by tariffs his first term to a point they were put on welfare. Next chance they vote for him with an ungodly % probably 75% or more when he promises to deport all of their farm workers.
Say it again so Trump and his Project 2025 cohorts can hear you. No American citizens will do this back breaking work. Maybe in a few months the power to be project 2025 cohorts will realize their mistakes. Produce rotten on vines and trees. Prices unbelievable high on basic foods.
I really don't understand what they expected would happen. Trump is going to want to show numbers of people deported. They won't care how they get those numbers and will go for the easy ones first.
There are so many better ways to solve the immigration crisis. Mass deportation has to be the stupidest domestic policy Republicans have ever planned to do.
It’s not like it was some small piece of his platform. Vilifying undocumented immigrants and mass deportations was damn near the centerpiece of the Trump campaign. It was a classic “scapegoat” strategy.
So this farmer voted for your own demise to what, “own the libs”? Dummy.
Fukkoff bloomberg, Trump does what he wants so quit f lking pretending how his insane proclamations might not happen because a Trump supporting moron is against it. It’s your goddam job to hold him accountable, but all you do is transcribe their maga bullshit word-for-word.
Weirdo Trump has no idea about any businesses. Remember his have all failed. Well, except his ability to con people into giving him money. So no way would he realize how bad it will be without immigrant workers. 🤦♀️
It was only his singular campaign issue - but I guess when you lie every minute of every day, even your supporters don’t believe a word out of your mouth
Still, tough shit tomato farmer, nobody’s going to weep for you - you reap what you sow
12M people were not able to imbed themselves so pervasively in the economy in four years that the quick exit of 2M of them in one year will have an appreciable effect on farming.
Never mind the fact that this sounds like Southern Cotton Planter arguments from 1854.
If only someone had told them that the traitor they voted for his nose was getting longer every time he was speaking during his campaign. Now knowing they voted for the Dump the third time I bet even if they saw it with their own eyes they still would vote for him again if they had the chance.
This is going to be very interesting, in a bad way. Trump will try to round up immigrants, but how and where? I guess he will start in states like California and leave Texas alone for a while. We shall see.
Boy it woulda been great if one of the world’s leading financial magazines didn’t play dumb about his proposed economic policies when it would have mattered
Which button on your fancy keyboard executes the “onboarding fascism” function
He wants his illegal immigrant so he can cheat the government out of taxes and pay less for farm work? I am sure he calls himself a Christian.
Remember Trump has employed illegal immigrants for years.
So- the the Tomato owner voted for trump. The dude voted for a unstable nut job male who wears makeup. When we could of had stability in America. Great choice.
This is also shows why tomatoes in the grocery store taste like trash. Look at the green tomatoes they are picking. Hard as a rock and not ripe. Without maturing on the vine these things have no taste.
Trump and his team are smart enough to not target these guys. They will just have a photo op in a liberal city and round up “non essential” workings. Of course the news media will have full court coverage which DT will enjoy and his base will not be affected.
Though I still imagine Trump will target Blue states and cities WAY before he goes after states that like him, idiots like this deserve what's coming to them eventually. I hope cameras are running when he loses all of his "employees."
"Thousands of people could be rounded up, detained, brutalized, and returned under dangerous conditions. Here's why that's bad for the handful of capitalists who exploit their labor."
Farmers and Fishermen in the UK also overwhelmingly voted for Brexit. Funny how when voting for the 'leopards eating faces party' they're so surprised when it then eats their f*cking faces. Thick as mince, the lot of 'em. 🤷♂️
Any tRump supporter that voices any displeasure with what’s about to happen in the next 4 years should really just STFU! You did this and I hope you all suffer.
So don’t hire undocumented workers in the first place, Mr Republican Farmer Man. Maybe YOU’RE the one who should be arrested for breaking employment laws.
NAFTA made the DiMare's a ton of money, and with increased tariffs they'll do the same again. Trump will do a legal cutout or look the other way for farmers. That's what FL has done in the past.
I hope voters who elected & helped to elect Republicans are the only ones who suffer.
Sad reality is, those of us who voted for Democrats will also suffer.
Hopefully Trump’s supporters will suffer the most.
May their pain be unbearable & never-ending.
Maybe the #farmer should be held responsible for not paying a decent #wage, setting up the process to get “his” #employees #legal and on the books like all other entities whom #employ people in the #USA.
local farmers & agricultural institutions will wake up shortchanged for workers if it happens & the construction industry will slow to a crawl. It’s what they voted for, without looking under the hood. Maybe next election, sweat the details!

Only clear answer is racism is a powerful drug.
Enslaver has fewer syllables.
Is there a more appropriate response?

He won't be reaping all that much without workers. Amirite 😅

Monday is going to be a really fucking sad day for American..

Deportation is trump’s top priority.
Makes zero sense.

Just wait when they discover what is going to happen to the prices they pay for goods and equipment when tariffs are put into place.
Make Tomato’s great again!!!
At least they match your dumb ass hats, use those to gather your Tomatos, might as well get a good use out of those atrocities

The farmworkers and their US citizen children who will be violently torn away from their parents.
Maybe report on them
Like wtf did any of them *think* they voted for 😆

They hate immigrants!
Texas needs to be cleansed
