American farmers have stood firmly behind President Trump even when his trade policies hurt them. The latest trade war, which could be even worse for their sector, promises to test those ties again.

I’m sorry but American farmers sound extremely stupid in this article. Engaging with facts and challenging the basis for still standing with Trump would make a better story. Readers can draw opinions from that.

Trump said he believes large scale commercial farming is more efficient than these family run farms. He’s going to bankrupt them and sell the land off to his friends at the mega-corps. Republicans have been running off this facade that they will always take care of rural towns, but they don’t.

These farmers condemn Canada as socialist for controlling dairy supply.Then they sell their votes to Trump for subsidies. Who’s the Communist? p.s even Wharton teaches that only increasing supply in times of low price will not increase profit p.p.s. we don’t want your hormone-laden dairy.

Sounds to me like American farmers - painting with the broadest of brushes here - are either MORONS or more devoted to their precious bigotry than their own families' best interests. Shameful. It's hard not to root for their farms to go under. Except I'm baaaaaarely too nice to do so. For now.

They deserve everything coming to them, which they’ll blame on immigrants or Biden anyway. The “farmers know bullshit when they see it because they’re straight-shooters” sort of adage needs to die.

"Zook also recalls the pain experienced in Trump's 2018 trade war, which hit farmers particularly hard. "The markets definitely went down last time," he acknowledges." Yet he still voted for Trump in 2024...

Exactly! China's retaliatory tariffs on soybeans, during Trump's last trade war, in 2018, cost U.S. farmers close to $30billion, and knowing this 78% of them voted for him again.

Last trade war with China didn’t put a dent in US farmer support for Trump. What makes you think it will be different this time. around? In the end, Trump will give farmers money.

Aggravating agriculture’s biggest international markets is not doing the farmers any good. In addition, aggravating suppliers of products required to grow good crops that come from international markets will also hurt agriculture.

The Trumpioid crisis runs deep in rural America. No matter how much his policies hurt them, the withdrawal symptoms of reality seem worse. Now, another trade war is coming. Will it test their loyalty—or just deepen the addiction?

American farmers are subsidized by large corporations. They are strong armed and bullied into agreeing to whatever the administration or “Big Ag” wants. Let’s be for real real here!

If they haven’t dumped him yet, they won’t. They’ll just blame immigrants and drag queens instead of their own stupidity and continue being bent over and getting an orange mushroom up their cornhole cause god and ‘Merica.

And the cost of inputs in crazy high, so that it can be challenging to make it thru harvest and come out ahead by much. You try making a living at farming and see how you do.

What? Maybe you should go talk to a farmer who constantly has their hand out for money…because they produce too much of something, not enough of something, didn’t grow anything at all… The US system is broken, and the farmers who constantly benefit, still vote against social programs for others

Do you actually know any US farmers? While there surely are some like that, most tend to be the hardest working people who take great pride in what they do. But the fact is that they are totally at the mercy of Mother Nature, and she can be a hateful bitch at times.

This country disseminated American manufacturing-Trump will do the same to American farmers; only this time tariffs will kill farm trade across our northern and southern borders. Get ready to eat junk food during the winter months, while our farm lands become dust bowls.

Sadly, the farmers don’t understand the economic consequences of their votes…they let church, racism, misogyny, and ignorance… Get in the way of their lives.

You have to wonder about the sanity of a group of people whose commitment to hatred makes them willing to vote for a guy who wants to deprive them of their living, just so he can abuse transgender people. Especially since few of them will ever meet a transgender person.

How dumb, or ignorant, or prideful must one be at this point to be a farmer who continues to support a person who has continued to threaten your livelihood? That is mind-blowing.

Trump said (Jan 2016) “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.” Are US farmers claiming to be those 'somebodies?'

He sold his votes as snake oil. "Vote for me and all your problems will go away!" Smart people said, "Well that's clearly not true." Stupid people said, "Alright! No more problems!" And the wealthy said, "Well I do own twelve snake oil factories..."

The 🍊🤡 will just use our tax dollars to bail them out again. Farmers don’t care if he screws them over as long as he gives them our tax dollars to make up for it. Better not try this again. FAFO

Family owned farms will be hurt the most. Big ag will buy them all up for pennies on the dollar. I have no sympathy for people who vote against their best interests. In a few generations, people will talk about how their families were ruined by the GOP and it was all their fault

They( farmers) don’t care , the tariffs that put farmers in a stand still during the first Trump’s run as president was salvaged from ruins by Biden but a large number (94%)of the Farmers still voted for Trump 2.0 It’s what they are, they will always vote against their own interests.

Where's THEIR harm? Why would they stand down when taxpayers (without a choice) have to bail them out? Look at all the other industries and people being harmed because farmers backed Trump? What about them? Give the farmers what's left after bailing out the innocent bystanders in Trump's chaos!

They won't be getting a bail out this time around. Cause he's not running for office. Just like those checks he signed in the rescue. It's all about perception. But he doesn't need them anymore.

Central Valley California farmers are already on thin ice. They have drained the aquifers and without water, there's nothing that will grow, yet they still vote republican. The Farmer's Union is the only credible organization that speaks truth to the farmers across America.

The list of groups that Grifty Trump hate/hurts but still somehow support him beyond all reason is amazing: Vets, farmers, old people, poor people, red state, blue state . american people, world people, covid people...all except old Mac-Daddy Putin, & that Korean guy he had a fling with 2yrs ago.

Trump has the farmers believing Canada started the trade war so Trudeau can stay on as our Prime Minister. He can’t. He resigned. Boy will they all be surprised when Mark Carney (most likely) takes over as PM until an election is called. Trudeau is still an MP in government but will not be the PM.

We will see how much they love him when they are all bankrupt. Lose thier farms and every inch of land. Then he and his oligarchs buy them..and the former farmer becomes....wait for it...yes...a sharecropper..

Bankrupting the farm that's been in the family for generations seems tragic, but knowing that somewhere you've never been, there's a trans kid you've never heard of who won't be able to play a sport you don't care about makes it all worth it.
