$12 billion aid package targeting soybean farmers, dairy farmers, and pork producers, among others.

"The funds will come through direct assistance, a food purchase and distribution program, and a trade promotion program."

Depression era program that does not require congressional approval.

"It allows the CCC to borrow up to $30 billion from the Treasury Department to “stabilize, support, and protect farm income and prices.”

“If tariffs are the greatest and trade wars are easy to win, why do you have to buy the political silence of the farmers?” former Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin wrote on Twitter.

This guy creates problems and then swoops down and tries to make himself look like a hero because he tells his base how he fixed the problem.

personally, i've enjoyed presidents that have fact-checked their info before speaking. but...... fortunately for trump he doesn't have to go thru the hassle, AP ( and anyone with an internet connection ) were nice enough to do it for him.

Yes, the question of what day Trump was in Scotland 2 years ago is a triviality. Just ask yourself what would change if he had not said it. The answer is NOTHING. That is the definition of a triviality.


And you still do not have proof of intent to deceive, which is necessary to fulfill the definition of "lie." I know an 8-yr-old who has more facility with the dictionary than some of the CD liberals on this thread.

Say wrecking ball, did you have a conniption fit when President Obama said that his uncle helped liberate Aukschwitz, which turned out not to be true? Some on the right did. I did not. Did you?

Plus because his tariffs are killing farmers, he wants 12billion in farm subsidies
Thats what I call buying an election

He doesnt need 12 billion in farm aid
He needs JUDICIOUS policies on trade

Straight outta the Putin playbook.
Create problem, blame political adversary, swoop in and fix it all the while continuously smearing political adversary.
Donald wants his family to live in the White House forever...look how long Puyin has managed to stay in power. He s his role model.

i wasn't speaking of you, we're talking about trump's claim to have predicted the brexit outcome before it happened.

the facts are clear, trump did not predict the outcome of brexit before it happened. to leave his claim that he did unadjusted is a lie by omission regardless of his original intent.

Trump following GOP ideas during the great depression(1920's) with his tariffs. So he now has to pay off the farmers because he has destroyed their markets.
Trump then spends his day in Kansas lying away to veterans.
