Trumps tariffs are bad for farmers

I’m not sympathetic to anyone who voted for Trump.

“Farm country voted overwhelmingly to unleash a new trade war. And now these same farmers want taxpayers to finance another round of bailouts to protect them from the consequences of their own votes.”Jessica Riedl explains: thedispatch.com/article/farm…

‘This wasn’t supposed to happen.’”Large dairy farms pay so low that migrants live in trailers on the farms in freezing Vermont while working 12hr/days, 6 days/wk. They continue to support Trump? Proves that exploitative racist bosses are stupid bosses too.www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/22/m…

US farmers are in ‘full-blown crisis’ as Chinese orders for pork and soybeans plunge amid Trump tariff war with China.Last week China cancelled 12,000 tons of pork and dropped soybean orders to just 1,800 tons from 72,800 tons previously.#MomSky#Voices4Victoryshare.newsbreak.com/cul2sqml?s=i16

Donald Trump said his tariffs would help our farmers.But the real cost of his self-inflicted tax will hit them hard, potentially putting many just one crop away from bankruptcy.How American can that be?
