In reply to the discussion: American farmers worry they'll pay the price of Trump's trade war [View all]Bengus81
(10,174 posts)3. Aw shucks....I really feel sorry for those TRUMP voters
Their worried about his trade war? Hell he showed them he didn't give a flying fvick when he killed the TPP which was another outlet for farmers to sell excess grain. All because a BLACK guy got out a pen and signed onto it.
Farmers in far western Kansas went 90+ percent for Shitler when they had a choice to go with sensibility. But...they got a big ole' tax cut,let's see how well that works when their grain is setting instead of being sold.
