Farmers panic that Trump policy could cause ‘catastrophic nightmare’: report

1. You mean like he did last time he was in office and had to give farmers 12 billion dollars in aid due to the previous tariffs in 2017. Some people never learn.

2. It did the last time.

   Why wouldn’t it again?

3. But they voted for him and trust him right?! Right?

4. Yea like the last time he was in office when this happened?? And even though many lost everything, one after another of the farmers when interviewed said they were STILL voting for Trump again…you can’t fix stupid.

5. All I can think of is all the “farmers for trump” signs I pass when driving through farm country

   Edit for typo

6. He’s going to fail because ultimately he was brought on to depress Dem turnout, but I find it funny that RFK Jr. wants to ban high-fructose corn syrup which is the **only** thing keeping these trump supporting corn farmers afloat.

7. They panic until BigAG swoops in with that fat buyout check.

8. That’s what happens when you vote for a fascist.

9. I watched a video of young “Farmers for Trump” guys and girls. So sad how he’s used their votes and will backstab them soon as without any problem, specially financially.

10. Face meet Leopard.

11. Oh no problem, Trump will just resort to paying farmers bigger subsidies. It’s not like that distorts the market or goes against so called “conservative principles”, right?!

12. Farming is already welfare for tractors

13. You shit in your bed, you lie in it.

14. Great! Enjoy it since you voted for it.

15. The farmers can hope for a big government check, but with deporting immigrants that work the farms and tariffs raising prices on imported fruits and vegetables, what will we eat?

16. No worries I am sure some big corporation will step in to keep that land productive… And I hope they do. It’s time these people get exactly what they voted for.

17. So much for those “make groceries affordable again” billboards…

18. Could is the wrong word. Your lives are effectively over farmers. Enjoy the show

19. Loss of labor combined with high tariffs that will result in high tariffs on our exported grain will wipe out 1000s of family farms.

20. Of course, it hurt the farmers

21. The D’s red to call out this hypocrisy. Let it all burn down like the R voted for.

22. Oh no! Not the leopards… Eating my face!

23. lol!

24. Embrace the horror people.

25. Could be? Count on it.

26. Ya get what you voted for no sympathy from me

27. Is this a sub for just posting raw story and daily boulder articles. Is prefer a bit more diversity in sources because when I see just 2 or 3 dominating a sub I start to think the sub has a bias. Non Americans like me know nothing of these sources publications.

    I want to see content that is different to world news, but presenting just 2-3 niche publications isn’t the solution

28. You mean the farmers that voted for trump? The same farmer’s who hate socialism but love getting gov money? The Leopards are gonna be well fed this year.

29. HAHAHAHA but at least he ain’t a black woman right?

    HAHAHAHA, good luck getting those JD parts fast…
