Trump loves poor farmers? He does?

I live in an affluent “suburb” haha of a small redneck town in the PNW. We drive 8 miles to get to town. We pass a dozen or so small farms growing mostly grass and corn. These are just regular small farms maybe 20-30 acres. They are all flying trump flags and have big ass signs on their barns and farm equipment parked on the road.
What has trump done for the small farmer? Honestly I don’t know. Am I missing something?

They all listen to Faux & Limbaugh.

Too fucking stupid to read the instructions on the remote control to change the station.

President Trump talks often about the aid his administration has given to farmers and the support he expects from them in return. But tonight, I heard a lot of silence when he declared: "Some people say our farmers do better now than they did when they actually had a farm."

I know they aren’t making 400k+ a year so why would Biden’s tax plan impact them any way other than a positive. I just hope they take down their signage next week so I can enjoy the pretty farmland without making me wanna barf.
