3. #8. The source of the bailout is taxpayers. Our money is going to Commodity Credit Corporation

According to the following article, the money is coming from the Ag Dept's Commodity Credit Corporation. Which my tax dollars fund.
And not from tariffs, which I guess convicted felon and his gangsters are pocketing.

“I’m delighted to announce this afternoon that the United States will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs… and we’re going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance,” Trump said.

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, though, told reporters following the event that the money came from the department’s Commodity Credit Corporation, which is funded through regular appropriations from Congress, according to a White House pool report.


I typed in a big search for the source of money for farm bailouts. It returned the propaganda/lies spewed by the convicted felon "It is coming from tariffs." This is one way the fascist bullshit lies spread.

No truth from the GOP. Will any of the republican assholes correct that bullshit narrative? Of course not.
