    1. Why do they need to be bailed out? I was told our industry’s were bomming? The best ever some said? Why would we need to bail them out. The orange messiah wouldnt lie to us would he??

      After taking a stake in Intel, by bailing out farmers who fell victim to his policies, Trump continues to make sure the free market regulates itself, just like what he campaigned on.

      I’m sure farmers aren’t the only producers that will need a bail out from Trumps trade wars.

      So he’s admitting that his economic policies are abject failures? Now he’s going to use our tax dollars to throw a little bandaid on this gaping wound?

    5. They get bailed out every year via crop insurance subsidies. But tariffs aside, his push to get Coke to switch to sugar will be noticed in the corn syrup world.

    6. Pretty sure farmers still haven’t recovered from the trade war with China back in 2018…

    7. Exchange for 25% equities in all farms?

      Or that is required only for Chinese ‘owned’ business like Intel?

    8. During Dear Leader’s first term he slapped a tariff on imports from China, and China retaliated by stopping the import of US soybeans and corn. China was the biggest importer of US farm products so this was devastating

      It was also bad news for Dear Leader’s re-election prospects in 2020

      So Dear Leader took the tariffs Chinese imports paid by American consumers and gave it to the US farmers.

      One eighth into his presidency and we’re already talking about bailing out an industry that he crashed. An entire industry needs a bailout and it’s only been 7 months. Wild.

      Isn’t redistribution of wealth socialism?

      What else would you call taxing consumers to give money to farmers?

      China has repeatedly shown that it doesn’t trust Trump and like in Trump 1.0 they’ll find a more stable, trustworthy provider. Farmers are proving to be pawns again in this zero dimensional chess game

      This happened before, in 2018. And yet, Trump REPEATS the same mistake again. Which just proves – he knows nothing and learned nothing.
