Once again, President Trump says he’s preparing an emergency bailout for struggling farmers. And once again, it’s because of an emergency he created. 

China has stopped buying U.S. soybeans to protest Mr. Trump’s tariffs on imports. In response, Mr. Trump plans to send billions of dollars of tariff revenue to U.S. soybean farmers who no longer have buyers for their crops. At the same time, Argentina has taken advantage of Mr. Trump’s tariffs to sell more of its own soybeans to China — yet Mr. Trump is planning to bail out Argentina, too.

This may seem nonsensical, especially since Mr. Trump already shoveled at least $28 billion to farmers hurt by his first trade war in 2018. But it actually makes perfect sense. It’s what happens when Mr. Trump’s zero-sum philosophy of trade — which is that there are always winners and losers, and he should get to choose the winners — collides with Washington’s sycophantic approach to agriculture, which ensures that farmers always win and taxpayers always lose. In the end, Mr. Trump’s allies, including President Javier Milei of Argentina and the politically influential agricultural community, will get paid, and you will pay.

Now, Morans, I understand that any discussion of Meathead's actual policies is "TDS", by definition, but try to focus on a defense of them rather than another pathetic complaint about The Ghost Who Walks....



as awesome as he is.

We're making BILLIONS in Tariffs from China... SO, we're rebuilding our Rare Earth Element processing capability, and making America more self reliant in the process... We're getting America's biggest tech companies OUT of China in the process, and better protecting our technology as a result... in the process, because China is lashing OUT and trying to hurt our farmers... we are paying the farmers who are the MOST affected, to help keep them afloat...

SO, WHAT is YOUR Problem?

Under Obama and Biden... America HANDED the Rare earth element business to China, Let China STEAL America's technology and high tech industries, and gave Joe Biden HUGH kick backs that made Joe Biden and his family RICH...

SO, I ASK AGAIN... Just WHAT the FVUCK is YOUR Problem?

His problem? You mean besides the fact that he's a lying *** traitor bastard?
