While Trump Engages in Attacks on Democracy and Free Speech, Farmers Are in Deep Trouble [View all]

[B.See]

For all his defending of hate speech and promised retaliation against those CALLING IT OUT,

his planned assaults upon cities with large minority populations,

and his crimes on the high seas (did I forget to mention his Epstein pedo allegations?)

one MIGHT almost forget his pal Putin's threats to Poland, France and NATO, and Trump's FAILING economy looming on the horizon.

Not to mention the impending crisis farmers are facing:

We’re out of time': Farms warn Trump is about to usher in the worst crisis in decades - Rawstory

Donald Trump's trade policies have set up American farmers for an impending disaster, as China refuses to buy soybeans from the United States.

According to The New York Times, the move by the Chinese government to halt U.S. soybean imports "has had devastating repercussions for farmers in North Dakota, which exported more than 70 percent of its soybeans to China before Trump unveiled the new tariffs this year. Unless China agrees to restart its purchases as part of a trade deal, farmers that depend on the Chinese market will be facing steep losses that could fuel farm bankruptcies and farm foreclosures around the United States.

The stress level is much higher now than it was then,” 44-year-old Jordan Gackle, who co-owns a 76-year-old soybean farm near Kulm, told The Times. “If we keep this going for very long, then we are going to see the kind of foreclosures that were happening.” He continued, “All of it is unnecessary. The U.S. was not forced into this by anybody.”Justin Sherlock, a 37-year-old farmer in Dazey, had a more blunt assessment: “I feel like we’re out of time.”
