First Trump took away the $2 billion farmers got from sales to USAID and now they want to take the $25 billion that farmers get from SNAP purchases. Trump deported their farm and ranch workers. Argentina selling soybeans to China hurts American farmers and Trump importing Argentine beef is going to hurt American ranchers. Maybe farmers and ranchers will eventually get "woke" and vote Republicans out.
