US foreign assistance programs all have buy American requirements for the aid that is provided, from food or other goods purchased to any airline travel by staff or participants, etc. it all helps the US economy while helping others. It’s such a win-win for the American people.

Sure, but after being brainwashed for 40 years by the likes of Limbaugh, Fox "News", OAN, and those that pretend to be on their side, they still 100% believe when they say it's the fault of Immigrants, Liberals, Obama, Biden, and Gays. But not once blame Trump or the billionaires. Rubes.

I work in agriculture in the Midwest and am hearing daily about farmers having to sell land to pay last year’s bills. If any government funding or welfare is cut or if crop insurance is compromised “as per Project 2025 suggests” these folks are boned. Miraculously they all still worship Trump though

They always get a bailout. Either they'll set up another socialist program like they did during Stinky's first tariff/covid debacle, or they'll just straight up get $$$ from the congress critters. How is this unexpected? Also, eat shit wapo.

It seems like political suicide to alienate the largest voter base of the GOP platform. Subsidies and Social Conservatism has been the drive for the average white farmer to vote since the New Deal.

America, wake up! That dope in office doesn't give a care about the farmers, or their struggles, or that food prices are soaring, or anything else dealing with everyday Americans. His whole agenda is nothing but himself, and the complacency of Congress and the Senate is despicable to say the least.

Buyers’ remorse already? He told you what he was going to do; then he led you to believe it was for others, not you. You saw him operate for 4 years, & yet believed he would help you. I really feel sorry farmers, for the cost to the rest of us at the grocery store, & for when you lose the farm.

Pray tell what do you want? The farmers here love Trump, and also love money from the government. They also employ migrants by the tens of thousands, then hate on them as well. No sympathy for hypocrites, especially the far right and soaked in hatred variety.

I work for a small independent solar installer,and I'm seeing this in real time. The thing is this doesn't just hurt farmers. It hurts all the businesses supplying the farmers. I can understand halting any new grant awards, but USDA has halted payments for projects already underway.

Predictably corrupt, FOTUS will cut off everyone's funding then wait for them to blow enough hot air up his skirt, then he'll give some back and act like it's coming from personally. Then pocket the rest.

You mean they picked the Leopards Eating Faces Party and the leopards are eating their faces? You don't fucking say. "Donald" means King. "Trump" means Lie. You figure it out.

Who is feeding Trump the bullshit that the world needs America to survive ? Quite the opposite as the real world starts to isolate the US as a basket case run by Oligarchy.

Good they VOTED for him now suffer the consequences even if we that didn’t vote for him have to suffer as well . #FAFO HAVE RESPECT FOR THE PPL THAT PUT FOOD ON YOUR TABLE AND A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD! LATINOS ARE THE ROCK OF THIS COUNTRY‼️
