WASHINGTON — Donald Trump often espoused his love for America's farmers during his presidency.

But after a year under President Joe Biden, farmers say they're actually feeling the love.

"Well, certainly the difference between 2019 and 2021 is the differences in administrations," Montana Farmers Union President Walter Schweitzer said in an interview. "In 2019, our administration was at war with all of our customers." Under Biden, he said, the nation is "rebuilding our relationships with our customers."

Trump courted support from farmers during his failed re-election campaign in 2020 and touted his administration’s trade relief, saying they were better off with government payments than relying solely on sales.

While the focus of the Biden administration has been on its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, and more recently the global standoff with Russian President Vladimir Putin over Ukraine, the farm sector has fared quite well under the new administration, as farmers ease off of government bailouts and see a boost in commodity prices.

4. I saw a short segment on some news show shortly after the Trump tariffs.

The journalist was interviewing a group of farmers who were pretty angry. He'd actually done his homework & pointed out some agriculture bills over the years, that had passed with mostly democratic votes, but these guys weren't having it. "That may be, but I'd never vote for a democrat," one said.

I think the poster below nailed it. They hate minorities more than they like themselves. Man, that is pathetic.
