Trump bailing out farmers with a New Deal era safety net.

The Commodity Credit Corporation is the entity which has standing authority to borrow funds from the U.S. Treasury to supplement the income of farmers who experience negative cash flow.

It was first organized as a Delaware corporation pursuant to an executive order by FDR and was later federally rechartered by Congress during the Truman Administration.

So Trump is attempting to salvage his popularity with farmers by utilitizing tools established by progressive Democrats.

That's pretty ironic, and I think a helluva lot of noise ought to be made about it.

'WRONG! FakeNews!...it wasn't FDR, it was all me, cause only Trump could have solved it, because nobody has a better brain, the MRI that I didn't have said so, man woman tv camera giraffe only the smart ones get that score ...nobody's ever had a better score Vance who?, I never heard of him did he get me covefefe once..anyway, I fired that guy he sucked, terrible guy not a trump guy, a radical leftist so he's gone.'

And the presstitutes in front of that lying harpy will nod their heads, scribble their little notes and then say that history isn't history because Donald Trump Said So.
Because they're just as worthless as he is. I'm ALMOST hoping he 'cancels' the Press Corps, because then they won't have to concern themselves with 'access', and they can all be pissed off enough to start doing their actual fucking jobs.

can you explain where the money is coming from?

He passes the buck to Bessent or Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollings (revealing his lack of personal knowledge how it could happen without some new appropriation for it).

THAT'S when further drilling down on the Administration might finally reveal its actual origin as a rescue plan brought into being by Democrats.
