Yeah, they're REALLY going to suffer getting that $12 billion in aid that we've reaped from Trump's tariffs as soon as Schumer gets tired of seeing his approval numbers sink into the toilet and reopens the government, huh? That $12 billion is just a small percentage of the hundreds of billions Trump's tariffs will bring in this year, and farmers are already beginning to sell their existing harvest of soybeans to China.
And our soybean farmers are delighted with Trump's deal, much to your chagrin:Trump administration readies up to $12 billion for initial farm aid payment
Until recently, officials were still working to determine how much aid would be needed to help farmers recover from their losses.

The Trump administration plans to roll out an initial payment of up to $12 billion for farmers hurt by the president’s tariff policies once the government shutdown ends, according to three people familiar with the matter.The finalized amount will come on top of President Donald Trump’s recently announced truce with China, which could also give some relief to U.S. producers of soybeans, sorghum and meat.Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) told reporters Thursday that a Market Facilitation Program — similar to the $28 billion farmer bailout Trump issued during his first-term trade wars — is “all teed up and good to go.”“That’s being held up by the shutdown,” Hoeven added.
Iowa Soybean Association applauds US-China trade deal

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) - Farmers say they’re pleased with President Donald Trump’s agricultural trade deal with China’s leader Xi Jinping.China has agreed to purchase 25 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans annually as part of an agreement reached by its leaders, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday.As part of the deal, China will purchase 12 million metric tons of soybeans from the U.S. between now and January.The Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) said the deal is encouraging for Iowa soybean farmers, who rely on open market access to stay competitive.Tom Adam, President of ISA and a farmer from Harper, said he’s grateful that Trump is prioritizing soybeans in negotiations.“Today’s announcement addresses many of the concerns around market access to China following months of stalled purchases and uncertainty,” Adam said in a press release. “This is great news for American agriculture and for soybean farmers who have been eager to reestablish a stable and long-term relationship that positions us for success moving forward.”

Could it be that you're so ignorant that you don't know that CONGRESS and NOT the president decides where and how much to allocate their spending to? Just chalk it up to one more ridiculous and idiotic claim you try to make that Trump lied about it, right? Isn't that what you're all hoping for? No doubt that's what they'll be telling you liberals all week on CNN, MSNBC, and The View, so don't miss it! Thankfully, you're free in this country to remain as ignorant as you choose to be.
And who cares if China also has a contract with anyone else?
Trump got us a terrific 3 year deal and we're getting a new 10% tariff on all 37 metric tons that we never got before!
And you foolish liberals hate that, do you?

President Trump says his tariff revenues will pay down America’s $37 trillion debt
Now, are you claiming that Trump doesn't know that Congress has the purse strings on spending? A president HAS NOT POWER to ORDER Congress to spend money where HE wants it to go, so don't blame Trump for YOUR ignorance!Search Assist
Trump suggested that tariff revenues would help reduce the national debt and cover various spending initiatives.
Congress is not required to use tariff revenue to pay down the national debt; it can allocate funds as it sees fit. While tariffs can generate revenue, the decision on how to use that revenue is ultimately up to Congress and the federal budget process.

Oh yeah, like the Democrats in Congress will suddenly be delighted go along with whatever Trump wants, right?
Assuming a 10% tariff, how much soybean must we sell to China to pay for the 12 billion dollar bailout?Zeets2 » 02 Nov 2025, 12:02 pm » wrote: ↑ Yeah, they're REALLY going to suffer getting that $12 billion in aid that we've reaped from Trump's tariffs as soon as Schumer gets tired of seeing his approval numbers sink into the toilet and reopens the government, huh?
