Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can't sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

Tom "Mongo Sez Gimme Dat Bagga Cash" Homan needs the money.
Yeah, imbecilic goons are a dime a dozen.
But Bagga Cash Homan needs sooooo many of them.
For his cosplay gang: the Nuevo Brownshirts.

Stark evidence that the Trump economy is failed.

Trump doesn't care about the farmers, of course. But he does hope he can keep them quiet for a little while more.

"Congress will have to pass another farm bailout bill just like they did the last time"

They will. A few will vote against it but it will pass.

Sure. That'll work!

Earlier this year, President Trump signed the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB, P.L. 119-21) into law, which slashed SNAP benefits by nearly $186 billion and directly reinvested more than $50 billion of that to further increase farm subsidies to the largest, wealthiest farmers, while programs that support the vast majority of farmers and rural communities were excluded from the bill entirely.

$10B is a pittance compared to the increased costs US farmers have been hit with due to Trump trying to deport half the agricultural workers in the country and his tariffs driving up prices on farming supplies. If it's anything like the last bail out, nearly all of the money will go to the multinational corporate owned farms instead of independent American farmers. On the plus side for Trump, foreign nations will be willing to pay him more bribes in exchange for the right to buy US farm land at deep discounts from all of the farmers that Trump is driving out of business.

Economically, Trump is the most left-wing president in history. What fascinates me is how the Republicans have lined up in support of his policies, while Dems now appear to be the champions of free markets.

If you want to find an analog for Trump, the best would be Dennis Kucinich. Next would be Huey Long. Both progressive Dems.
