Trump Sends Desperate Message to Farmers as Tariffs War Gets Worse

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump is scrambling to reassure farmers they’ll be protected from his volatile trade war with China.

“Our farmers are GREAT, but because of their GREATNESS, they are always put on the Front Line with our adversaries, such as China, whenever there is a Trade negotiation or, in this case, a Trade War,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Tuesday. “The same thing happened in my First Term,” he added, pointing to the $28 billion he spent bailing out farmers from his first trade war with China.

“I rewarded our farmers with a payment of $28 Billion Dollars, all through the China deal. It was a great transaction for the USA, until Crooked Joe Biden came in and didn’t enforce it.” In a press conference Tuesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the Trump administration is considering a tariff bailout this time around too.

The president is urging farmers to grit their teeth as he tanks the economy with a staggering 145 percent tariff on Chinese goods. China imposed a 125 percent tariff on U.S. goods in retaliation, which will devastate American farm markets designed for export. American soybean farmers still haven’t recovered from losing one of their biggest markets in China during Trump’s first term.

3. Still hard to believe that

A statement like that is being made by a us president. It's so dumb and embarrassing.

5. One of the late night comedians (I think) put together a bunch of Trump quotes

with them being read out loud by children. That’s how I always hear them in my head now—in the voice of a whiny nine year old.

10. It really is like that

And not just him. So many of them. Like mtg. Maybe that's why they connect with so many people, because so many people are at a middle school level of thinking.

4. "Rewarded" with a payment of 28 Billion Dollars

Of other peoples money for my awesome mistake. It was an incredible mistake. No one has seen anything like it. Just another example of the art of the deal. I mean it was so awesome that most farmers voted for me again in 2024 even though I fucked them with my previous deal. I love stupid people.

8. Most of which will go to nega-corps like Cargill,

Tyson, ADM, Syngenta, Pioneer, Dreyfus etc etc

And if you look at the bribes they pay in Washington, you see they are careful to make sure that key people in both parties are well lubricated.

Look at Rich E. Neal, who is on the finance committee. That's worth bribes of $2-4M a year. Not a bad gig, unless one has a conscience.

6. Paging that crack team saving the American taxpayers trillions of dollars: DOGE. Explain to me how causing an

unnecessary problem and spending billions to 'fix' it for a select group is, in any way, efficient government.

7. Just piling on the debt like a madman.

What a total screwup loser.

9. Wonder if the folks who screamed bloody murder over student loan forgiveness...

Will be just as vociferous about this socialist bail out?!
