Trump-voting farmer says he 'feels the pain from trade war

Newsweek reported that Caleb Ragland, who is president of the American Soybean Association, recently wrote an essay published in conservative journalist Bari Weiss' The Free Press about how the new import taxes Trump imposed on China are affecting his business. He pointed out that because tariffs on China have skyrocketed, his farm will likely go under by 2027 if current trade duties stay constant.
"Like many of my fellow farmers, I voted for President Donald Trump in the past three elections. The president won me over with his commitment to business-friendly tax cuts as well as his track record of reducing regulation and cutting government spending," Ragland wrote.

Something Worse Than a Recession

Ray Dalio, founder of the world's largest hedge fund, told NBC News that President Trump's economic agenda could lead to a "breaking down of the monetary order" as he ramps up tariffs on China.

Leave it to the bankruptcy-prone orange pedo to decimate the economy.

I've seen numerous articles by farmers whining about the tariffs.
Surely losing the family farm is a small price to pay for owning the libs.
And JD whatever will be happy to find some foreign people to buy it.
