Farmers across the United States say they could face financial ruin – unless there is a huge taxpayer-funded bail out to compensate for losses generated by Donald Trump’s sweeping cuts and chaotic tariffs.

Need that sweet, sweet socalism. Last time Trump chipped in some few billion tax dollars to help out the “welfare queen” farmers, I assume they think he will again as they go cap in hand amd tug thier forelock to m’lord ?

I can see how some tariffs might help us compete with Mexico but are we really getting targeted by every other country or are we on the wrong side of this?

Waw, just… I can’t even…

Compete with Mexico? What are you a tomato or Avocado grower. I was fine with selling my Wheat to Mexico. I don’t see why orange moron should steal from my business to line his and Tim Apple’s pockets.
