Farmers are his base, they voted for him because they believe in him.

They got what they wanted, now will they put their money where Trump's mouth is? Should be interesting.

I doubt many are willing to sacrifice their livelihood for someone who cares about nothing but himself (Trump).

Private Bone Spurs is the last person in America who should be asking anyone to make a "Patriotic sacrifice" for our Nation.


The dotard created this (and other) trade mess and now he wants someone else to sacrifice?


Hooey.

Gotta love ol' Donny asking hard-working Americans to "make sacrifices."

When he was a private citizen, I wonder if he would have ever considered making "patriotic sacrifices" in the name of our beloved America.

But I bet the red flyover states vote straight Republican in 2020 anyway, even as they are putting up their farms for auction. Anyone want to take that bet?

Big Daddy Tariff loves him some socialism.

There are mostly small farmers in my area and between the floods and tariffs, they are struggling.

They’ll be gobbled up by Big Ag fairly soon then.
