President Obama didn't get us drug into a trade war of his own making. So there is that.

Well................. this "trade" has gutted our manufacturing sector. The left blamed automation, but that has been dispelled.

Trump is bringing manufacturing back to the US and helping the middle class.

Given that the left hates the middle class, they are opposed to Trump's initiatives. However, even the left's political leaders (Pelosi and Schumer) support his actions and want him to stand firm.

Why does the left hate America so much?
This post is just plain hogwash!!

The fifteen-BILLION dollar farmer bailout is here.

Free money to middle America farmers (mostly Trump voters) that were hurt badly by Trump's failed trade war..

I thought it was the far-right conservatives that called Democrats socialists for "govt handout programs?"

So $10 billion last year.

$14.5 billion so far this year.

"The new round is based on how many acres a farmer has planted and the rate will vary by county. A minimum of $15 per acre will be paid."

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/25/polit...ump/index.html

With China turning to Russia and South America for soybeans, how likely is it that U.S. farmers will regain their former share of the Chinese market?

Trump supporters should start dusting off their tofu recipes.

Last month, Trump claimed the XI agreed to start buying U.S. agricultural products as the trade talks continued.

That has not occurred.

Trump is showing exactly why usuay respectable farm staters are keeping their mouths shut over his dumbassness. They get rewarded with subsidies like this.

Libs want $15 an hour for mindless part time jobs but won't pay the farmers $15 an acre. Trump solidifying the farm belt vote.
