Too many people bought into his BS much too easily, as if they were ready to embrace any snake oil salesman who came their way. Their hatred of Obama, Hillary, Democrats, and liberals blinded them to their worst nightmare. When the farmers have to file for bankruptcy and lose their farms, will they finally realize they've been had?

Trumpers need to have this moron absolutely ruin their lives. It's the only way they might wake up. But it will probably still be Obama's or Hillary's fault.


I can't imagine how stupid/deluded you have to be to keep worshipping this utter wreck of a manboy.

Those who voted for him do not "know." Therefore they do not "care." They are drones who are a mindless herd. It is sad this is happening and only when the herd is awakened will anything change. We "educated" who are not drones know right from wrong. The GOP herd does as their evil masters command.......

When he goes there for a rally, his campaign will stiff the local government for security and other logistical support.

Just to add insult to injury.

It'll all work out in the end when America wins BIGLY, and fair trade is restored!"

Then he charges the rest of the taxpayers the bill to compensate those farmers for some of their losses.

You ever notice that he never does anything that will cost HIM mega-bucks, so that HE has to be the one to suffer losses "out of patriotism"?

Now, Trump would use the power of unilaterally imposing tariffs simply because it's a bright shiny new toy for him to fuck shit up with. He's that simplistic. But, someone with more intelligence and knowledge of trading could easily, in my opinion, encourage Trump to impose tariffs so they could benefit greatly from the fallout. If only we had a Securities and Exchange Commission that wasn't more corrupt than Trump we might have already seen some light from this.

... they informed the South Dakota Association of the Deaf that they can no longer use the gymnasium for deaf community functions (the superintendent had allowed it). Sold the property to some religious organization for $6.9 million. Set up the, "new School for the Deaf", in an empty call center building right by a strip club bar. You would think they wanted the deaf people to just go away now that they commercialized the school for the deaf campus.

And yes, that is governor Krissy "Trump" Noem that signed off on it. Currently the deaf association has hired a lawyer to investigate this sale.

Trump and the Republicans have saved South Dakota farmers from paying taxes on HALF A BILLION dollars of income.

So, vote for us again! MAGA!

the government bankrupted small farmers. (capitalism)

Didn't Trump just give soy bean farmers nearly 50 billion taxpayer dollars? They probably double dip and also get crop insurance money.
