  1. Trump did make a promise and said “Americans could feel some pain”.

  2. That’s the point. Their fields to be sold for pennies on the dollar

  3. So the farms fail, go into foreclosure, get sold to huge corporations who are not always domestic, and the snake keeps swallowing its tail. This is exactly going as planned. JFC…..

  4. So, there will be a sale on tofu? Nice! Tough luck for the farmers. Again. You’d think they’d have learned the first time. No bailouts! Bootstrap time, imbeciles.

  5. What were they thinking when they voted? Were they thinking? Let’s be honest: these guys elected a racist liar felon just because they didn’t like homosexuals. And now we are all in trouble. Quoting Forrest Gump: “Stupid is as stupid does.”

  6. Zero sympathy. Trump screwed them over during his first term and they still voted for him again in 24. 

  7. Oh no, who could have seen this coming? If only someone had warned us.

  8. We have no money to give them! Period.! They all voted for the orange overlord

  9. They better not take any government socialist money from the Commiefornia tax base. They need to have some personal responsibility and get a better job. It’s not our fault they made a personal choice to go into a bad industry, why should our tax dollars pay for their loans and bailouts?

  10. The fields will still be there when we need soybeans again.

  11. Rural America asked for this OVERWHELMINGLY.  I have so little sympathy for the voters who thought a stupid, vindictive man would only hurt the people they didn’t like.

    “I vOtEd for tHiS” crowd real fucking quiet right about now.
