I had to stop harvesting my soybeans because the grain elevators are full and not accepting anymore soybeans," he said over the weekend. "That's the first time that's happened and I've been a farmer in this country for 42 years."

The rancid------------- is an agricultural trailblazer.

"Farm foreclosures are up, farm suicides are up, farm bankruptcies are up, and all of this happened within the last 10 months of this president's leadership".

The farmers should have known that this was coming. Should-have-known.

Having said that, and knowing some farmers, my heart aches for the disaster they are facing.

The crowning injury is that Trump very, very likely is not going to let them vote against him in the midterms next year in an effort to make things right.

So expect more suicides. And let me tell you, the death of others is the very last thing this orange monster cares about.

Everyone knows that by now, right?

The farmers feel betrayed? They betrayed their country by voting for him. They were warned and they all lived through his first presidency so they had no excuse.

"A whole lot of farmers voted for this president and they feel strongly betrayed."

You. Are. F*&^ing. Stupid.

"Farm foreclosures are up, farm suicides are up, farm bankruptcies are up,"

Republicans don't see any reason to stop suicides. Especially gun suicides.
That's why they made it illegal to ask a suicidally depressed Veteran if they have a gun.

Wait, wasn't there a shift of Black voters towards Pres Trump in 2024?

Could that shift be crumbling, much like the similar shift of Hispanics away from Pres Trump?

Black Americans and Latinos feel alienated in Trump's America: poll
www.axios.com

... Black and Latino Americans are reporting record levels of alienation and pessimism about the nation's direction, as President Trump tightens his focus on immigration enforcement and civil rights rollbacks, per a new poll.

Why it matters: More Latinos and Black voters supported Trump in 2024 than in his two previous presidential runs, but early into his second term the sense of exclusion has deepened among communities of color.

The big picture: Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction, fueled by dissatisfaction with Trump's impact on the economy and immigration, according to a survey by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) and the Brookings Institution.

By the numbers: Of all racial groups, Black Americans (84%) and Latinos (70%) are the most dissatisfied with the country's direction, according to the poll that surveyed Americans on religion, values and moods.

- - - In addition, 60% of Black Americans and 51% of Latinos say their economic situation has worsened this year.

- - - Over half of Black (53%) and Latino (56%) respondents say they feel like "strangers in their own country" -- a record high in the poll's 16-year history. ...

Farmer Boyd, when you voted for trump it was already obvious that he was a career criminal, liar, rapist and traitor. It did not dissuade you from voting for him. You voted for him. You voted for him. You got exactly what you deserved.

I agree, with one minor change.

If I may ...

OK, I do not, in any shape manner or form, want to say that to farmers of America deserve the atrocities that Pres Trump seems to be tossing upon them.

The farmers of America deserve our respect, they feed us. I do give them my respect for that.

That aspect aside, maybe those farmers might make different political views known in their futre visits to the voting booth?
