Trump: "We're gonna take some of that tariff money that we've made, we're gonna give it to our farmers who for a little while are going to be hurt until the tariffs kick in to their benefit."

Our tariff payments are given to farmers, we just don’t get any food in return, unless we pay the inflated grocery store prices too.I guess my tariff dividend check is coming when 🐖🐖 ✈️?

Thanks to the tariffs, China has reduced its soybean orders to 0%. Farmers can't wait "a little while" to cover this lost revenue. And don't forget that these tariffs were meant to offset that Big Beautiful Bill. If the Tax and Spend Republicans start giving this money away, deficits soar!

I don’t think farmers deserve a bailout. They knew what they signed up for and if they didn’t have a plan to figure this out it’s really on them. No one made them plant the crops they did. Maybe they should have done more research

And then the farmers can take all of that money we give them and give it to the shoppers at the grocery store who are waiting to buy their crops. And the shoppers will have all of this money in their pockets, so they can buy all the food they want. That's how tariffs benefit the country.

And when are the tariffs going to help them? Remind us again how that works. Their foreign markets basically said “up yours” and went elsewhere. You shut down two large domestic markets (USAID and Food stamps).

TBF, there are some rich farmers. Most are not. Some are only well off for a short while after they SELL their farms. That kinda money doesn’t usually last long. I’m a farmer, I’ve watched it happen over and over.

I’ll go further in saying that companies that purchase farmer products figured out w/data-if they don’t have to compete they pay less in a market so they pulled out of competitive markets & many have consolidated so that farmers often are dealing with a monopsony (or near) for a particular product.

Some farmers are wealthy because the land value of their farms has grown significantly, not because they’re some coddled class. Farming is tough & way more expensive than it used to be. Picking on farmers isn’t productive-farmer wealth pales in comparison to those who wield threat wealth.

It’s utter nonsense. The tariffs are causing MAJOR economic hardship on USA farmers who produce what the world wants. The farmers are going bankrupt, yet Trump promotes his tariffs as the greatest thing he’s ever done. Trump is KILLING the USA economically and he still says it’s his best achievement

Another farmer bailout paid for by the American consumers. Trump bankrupts small farmers AGAIN but they continue to support him and vote for Republicans.

You pay tariff money on goods you buy that originate from China. I believe the idea is that the farmers are going to start growing iPhones and you’ll buy them as they are tariff-free and therefore cheaper.

With the tariffs, he can use our tax dollars however he wants: bribes, favors, rewards to his voters and friends while screwing the rest of us. Yet another way to bypass our elected representatives.

How do they show/prove to the American people that it's "tariff money" and not us taxpayers who are the ones who are bailing out the farmers? You know ... like what the American taxpayers did 10 years ago to the tune of $28,000,000,000?? Also known as SOCIALISM?

They have no proof Rob. It’s taxpayer money and the farmers will gladly take it, then vote for the same old GOP policy that’s brings them to the door with their hat in their hand asking for a handout, again. Yet, they are anti-socialism and against welfare for anyone else needing a hand.

WTF! So many farmers voted for him, then cried when his policies adversely affected them. We (and they) knew he'd bail them out. But will this be a forever bail-out since we know the tariffs will never benefit them.

If the government keeps giving our tax dollars to farmers, it's only fair that the government gets a stake in these farms. Set it up so they pay the government back for these bailouts.

I’ll go on the record: The tariffs will never benefit American farmers. I’ll also go on the record and say that by the time farmers realize this,Trump will already be blaming others (likely Biden, Obama…maybe even Truman).

He's full of shit and lying as usual. His tariffs will NOT hurt farmers for just a "little bit," Trump obliterated the export contracts farmers had. It'll take years to get them back, other counties have signed contracts w/ China, etc. Our producers have been pushed out of the markets by Trump!

So these farmers, shame on them, voted for Trump expecting a bail out……bc that is what Trump in Trump 1.0…….well we are giving these farmers a bail out again……only this time it is disguised as “tariff” meaning we are being taxed to give the money to farmers……TRUMP BOUGHT THEIR VOTES

Trump has scammed over $5billion dollars (that we know of, not including his crypto scam) since becoming president for the second time. Maybe he could give them some of that.

I really find it hard to believe that he's speaking this way. He's playing tough in front of his buddy. "Its only a matter of time until the right won't take it anymore". Sounds to me like he is instigating a civil war, which is exactly what he wants.

This is robbery! We the tax payers got robbed giving 26 Billion to bail out Argentina!!!!! Then we the people who paid the tariffs got robbed paying to bail out the farmers again!!! All this while our groceries, health insurance cost, utilities are all going up.

Yes, but the real "art" of the deal is in the kickbacks ala crypto, et al. You didn't think Trump was dealing for "US" interests, did you? With Trump it's always the "ME" interests.

The Argentine crisis was set off by a corruption scandal involving Karina Milei, the president's sister and a prominent figure in his government, who is now accused of receiving kickbacks, and earlier this year was allegedly involved in a cryptocurrency bribery scandal. Crooks helping crooks.

And by the way, this business is not coming back, maybe never, but certainly not as long as Trump's tariffs are in place. "When they kick in," my ass! They have already kicked in! THAT'S the problem.

When the tariffs kick in? Trump is off his rocker.Because of his tariffs, China is no longer buying soybeans from the US. They're now buying all the soybeans they need from Argentina & Brazil. The tariffs have already kicked in and proud American farmers now need a government handout to survive..
