Throw up protectionist trade barriers that hurt farmers, then bail out farmers with government handouts. MAGA Socialism.

They're farmers so they've got bootstraps they can pull on after they lose everything. They voted for this.

Trump is not going to allow elections next year, and so the motivation to bail these farmers out is zilch.

Sorry farmers, those tax cuts for billionaires come first.

Republican farmers want a taxpayer-funded transfer of wealth? But that's socialism. Of course we should help our fellow man when they are down, because that's what we humans do. But each Republican farmer receiving free money must first frame this certificate prominently in their home before cashing my check:

All those MAGA tears are going to flood the crops.

Only the weak will fail.

Farmers nothing.

Depending how big of a hit losing China will be to ranchers. They're gonna be next on the list.

Then there are the hundred thousand plus people Elon Musk has laid off and continues to fire.

America runs largely on a consumer economy.

What's going to happen when people can't afford to buy anything anymore?

"America runs largely on a consumer economy."

Last I looked 70% of US GDP is consumer spending.

Republicans don't mind if consumers have less to spend on goods that cost more, thanks to tariffs.

Republicans don't realize tariffs on American-made goods will cost us American-made jobs.

Those Republicans who do realize, they simply don't care.

There is no bigger collection of welfare queens on the planet than red state trump voters.

It is ot good for America that these farmers get their newest bailout. It would only strengthen their irrational and dangerous support for Trump.

They need to bleed the way that Trump is making all of us bleed.

Let them go bankrupt and sell the farm.

No more privatizing profits and socializing losses.

Many farmers (definitely including agribusiness) have become accustomed to bailouts.
Sort of like some kind of a right that comes with the job.
Gotta love it when the moronic blob in the WH spittle-yammers about China hammering US farmers.
It was him.
And then the mooks go out and vote for more.
What a country.

Socialism is always ok when it's the right doing it.
