Farmers are not so much behind the whole concept of Trump's making america great again, I'm guessing they were happier than they knew with the way things were already.

The farming and ranch industries have worked long and hard to establish the trade relationships that are were working for them. They are concerned that these agreements will never go back to normal as China establishes new deals and sourcing from...wait for it...Russia, Canada, Panama, and other countries.

Did you catch that? Russia is selling three times the soy beans to China that they were, Russian farmers are singing my catch phrase, MaRuGA (Making Russia Great Again).

Farmers are set to lose $20 Billion of the $60 Billion they did, that's a lot of beans and corn. Trump is asking for $12 Billion to subsidize 4 products and all the rest are looking at a policy of tough titty.

Trump clearly had and has no idea of what he's doing, this is gonna hurt in November with farmers in states the GOP needs.

You clearly have no idea what the end game is.

The catch phrase should be TMRGA for Trump made Russia great again. And don't worry, Trump will bail out more farmers. I like how we have to pay our farmers to grow things. Is that the way this tariff thing is suppose to work? China gets all the goods they were getting before the tariffs and selling all the goods they were before the tariffs so how is this punitive towards them? Now we know tariffs are working against us because plants are shutting down and moving (ironically many to China) citing tariffs and Trump is having to bail out our farmers who just last year were all turning profits so clearly that end of the tariffs are working. Has anyone asked Trump if he knows what he's doing? Surely he's tired this type of thing with his businesses--no? So what gave him the idea this type of thing would work--that giant brain of his that graduated with C's at Wharton?

The big corporate farm conglomerates will get 80%+ of any subsidies

Stock market crash, Russia attacks us with cyber warfare shutting down infrastructure, helps restore civil unrest with boots on the ground in a martial law scenario....end of democracy game...game over.

Our economy is in deep crapola, worse than 2008.

You are deeply delusional if you think Trump has an end game in mind.

That's what you pray for.But this has been going on since the fifties.Now we have a president that understands the problems that have been
created by all this damage and he is going to do his best to correct this inequity toward our country and our workers.To bad you don't have enough
sense to understand.This president has been the most industrious and effective president in modern day history.

This president has the least understanding of the in depth consequences to anything he sticks his completely ignorant nose into.

Tariffs and trade sanctions are something that takes a huge understanding of the complexities of what actions will incur.

Trump has triggered unintended oil price increases, either intending to help Putin or being ignorantly unaware that this would be an outcome, increased gasoline prices will not help the american people or our economy

Trump couldn't possibly have foreseen that China, India, and Europe would have frozen orders of US farm and ranch goods, and that we would be forced to subsidize farmers and processors or let them go under.

Meanwhile his supporters blithely go along with an i***tic rhetorical fantasy that this is all just part of Trump's genius, the plan all along and that it will have a great outcome.

Oh, and that North Korea thing, that sure went well

woodguru

And no, having the ability and honesty to see the direction something is headed has nothing to do with wanting it to go that way...the right seems to think that hoping and praying are part of willing and making something that is a train wreck go the wrong way.

Believers pray and believe i***tic actions will work out okay, realists call it the way it is hoping public pressure will make the i***t change course.

vernon

You are talking nonsense.I'm in the farm industry and I don't see any of this coming.I really see Trump attempting to correct the disaster that was started in 92 and has gotten worse,until we were about destroyed as a nation.Trump will get changes that no one else has the intelligence
to or fortitude to even attempt.

Farmers have been getting good money for their crops, driven by world wide demands, Trump is upsetting an applecart that worked well. Farmers will be paying for this a long time, unless Trump passes the cost on to further increasing the deficit.
