Krasnov Is Bailing Out The Farmers

12 billion, probably taken from cuts to Obamacare.

He takes away their markets and then is the hero paying them for their losses caused by him

1. We pay for Trump to destroy the US and then pay again to restore some of the damage.

2. No wonder they vote R, they constantly get bail-outs

I don’t envy small family farmers- I know how hard they work. But other Americans work hard too and they don’t get bail-outs from the effects of his awful tariff policy.

7. Bribes, they get bribes, but their family operation will ALWAYS be at risk with GOP rule

They never get the reality that they are getting paid to vote but not getting policies that will ensure future solvency.
Have lived among 'em, observed up close. They often practice the philosophy of : My grandpa starved supporting the GOP. My dad starved supporting the GOP. And I'll be damned if anybody will stop ME from starving supporting the GOP!

4. Tax importers and give it to farmers. They love socialism when it's disproportionately for white people.

Their hatred for traditional safety nets, which they call socialism, is based on wealthy people (disproportionately white men) greed and resenting sharing it with poor people (disproportionately women and minorities).

Donnie is taxing imports, which attacks minorities/immigrants, and gives it to farmers, disproportionately white. Suddenly, republicans are cool with *that* kind of "socialism".

I don't think they're feeling bailed out one bit.
Trump created this mess, and this PR stunt ain't helping.
