Farmers will lose their shirts under Trump. He’s killed every export market, closed China’s buying, & made USA products last resort in the free world. Trump’s killed US inbound tourism. It is down 25% & decreasing daily. How the US expects financial expertise from a 6x bankrupt is bewildering.

Zero sympathy until they are all gathered in D.C. demanding his removal. Anything less is not enough. They made this shitty bed-bug ridden stained and disgusting bed. Now they deal with the fallout or work to fix it.

Not only are they dumb and stupid but their minds are slow it's taken them this long to figure that out how dumb and stupid are they Americans are just the worst in all of the world the rest of the world got smart and learned to love and Americans got dumb and learn to hate

Jim, the honey farmer voted 3x for Trump. Goes on to say maybe he should have explored other options for his 2024 vote. Still doesn't fully criticize Trump or the GOP. Hard to be sympathetic to these farmers when they aren't very apologetic for creating their own demise.

Honestly, good. They deserve to suffer and pay many prices--not just economic--for their willful ignorance. May their suffering be long and prosperous. I wouldn't mind picking up some nice farm land either.

It’s a little late now. During my 1st term I collected beautiful tariffs, but most of it went back to farmers. Still there was a 20% increase in bankruptcies. This time it will go to pay the debt (wink wink). And it’s not a coincidence that JD founded Acre Trader to make buying farmland hassel-free!

Farmers in Iowa turned against Obama not because he was the first Black President but bc he tried to stop them from polluting Iowa's rivers and wetlands. We won't win them back unless we subsidize their bad choices (like ethanol) and give them free reign to pollute. Thanks though for not giving up.

They should have known better. If they paid attention to Trump they would have realized that anything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. He uses the ignorance of others to get his own way. You elect him, then he screws you. NOTHING CHANGES

Patience for what?? what did they think they were going to get? what's the pay off for crashing their 401ks, foreign export markets and raising their borrowing costs? Fox built an imaginary enemy he was going to slay.. turns out.. HE is the enemy within.

voted for trump..again for the third time... and mostly because they dont want "big city, out of touch" politicians telling them what to do... despite relying heavily on migrant labor...and govt subsidies and crop insurance...and the ability to sell to federal programs

Historically Democrat administrations have been much better for farmers for a variety of reasons. But when your world view comes from Faux News, irrational decisions result. The relationship between farmers and the government is complex, meaning trump doesn’t have a clue.

They deserve every drop of loss. This is what happens when all you care about is yourself, your interests, and your religious beliefs. It’s FAFO time. The worst part is they did this to ALL of us.

I live in an extremely red, extremely rural area, and it is crazy how many un-planted fields there are this year. Even if Trump ended his insane policies right now, there are still going to be huge repercussions.

That's not a very relevant comment. People voting for the Dem candidate were warned too. It's all about which warning and which promises you took notice of. These people hoped Trump and his people would do something for them that the previous Govt had not. Turns out they were wrong. It happens.

Huh? It’s completely relevant. Trump is simply doing what he said he would. If the people who voted for him didn’t listen or didn’t understand, they’re hypocrites for whining about it now.

You wrote about "warnings". Both sides constantly issued warnings about how bad the other would be. And both made promises they would not or could not keep. Trump is terrible, but the fact of "warnings" is not the issue. Everyone gives warnings, in many directions.

Agree. He didn’t even consider any other candidate. I’ve voted Dem and Rep in the past. Vote the person and consider all options for the current climate. Not just because you’ve always voted one way.

They are holding on until the bailout money comes, like it did the last time trump tanked their markets. I’m tired of tax dollars being used to bail out people that continue to vote against their own best interests!

Fuck the farmers who voted for Tramp. They should get what they deserve, which is bankruptcy. They made a baaaaaad choice when they knew damn well that Tramp screwed their overseas markets when he was in office last time. So farmers deserve to go bankrupt.

Don’t ask me to have sympathy for farmers. Trump told these people that he would impose stiff tariffs when he was elected. No—Their bigotry , misogyny & racism blinded them & is costing them their livelihoods & property.

Putin & his spymasters have accomplished the most successful espionage caper of our time.They helped to elect their useful idiot so he could achieve what they were unable to during the Soviet era- weaken the Western alliance, weaken the West's economy & facilitate Russia's territorial ambitions.

In addition they have been able to reprogram the traditional GOP voters distrust of government authority & Russians such as Putin to now support authoritarian demagogues like TrumPutin.

ZERO PITY. To be so dumb to pick a fraudster cheat, felon x 34, criminal rapist who screwed them prior, is just a new level of ignorance. Shame on them. They deserve exactly what they voted for. USA has been dumbed down so much that I can’t see it ever coming back. The corrupt & stupid rule.

Hard to tell. Xenophobia and racism coupled with propaganda tends to last forever in people. I'm guessing that right on the doorstep of the courthouse on the day when their farms are being auctioned off, they'll still be supporting Trump.
