He credited his tariff policies for making the aid possible and highlighted that his negotiations with China had contributed to the resumption of large soybean sales.

    These people have coined so many phrases aimed at hurting liberals. I can’t feel bad for these trump voters not one ounce of sympathy for them. They voted this problem they can suffer the consequences.

      I really hope they run through all the consequences. I hope every day is more painful and difficult than the last until they face the endgame of their choices.

    Don’t cry, little MAGA. I’m sure some huge agribusiness will buy your farm for pennies on the dollar.

    That’s Capitalism, right? You wanted the country to be Run Like A Business, yeah? Well this is Survival Of The Fittest, Bucko! You better thank Jesus that you live in the Greatest Place In The World.

      They deserve it, but it’s still not in our best interest for them to lose assets if they just empower the fascist.

    Remember these subsidies aren’t given to help farmers it’s so these farmers can pay the bills they get from big ag corpos like John Deere and Monsanto. It’s corporate welfare while these farmers will go bankrupt anyway.

    Edit: also forgot to mention that these big ag corporations also have activity in Brazil and Argentina. These fuckers are getting paid twice by Trump.
