Farmers across the United States say they could face financial ruin – unless there is a huge taxpayer-funded bail out to compensate for losses generated by Donald Trump’s sweeping cuts and chaotic tariffs.
Need that sweet, sweet socalism. Last time Trump chipped in some few billion tax dollars to help out the “welfare queen” farmers, I assume they think he will again as they go cap in hand amd tug thier forelock to m’lord ?
Bailout money, even if approved, might not get to farmers in time before they go bankrupt due to induced government inefficiency. That’s icing on the shit cake that the Trump administration has baked.
It’s part of the plan to buy up farms and land for cheap when farmers go bankrupt
I don’t think it is part of the plan, just that Trump and Musk don’t care.
Its certainly not their direct intention, but Trump just follows along with what his billionaire donors and advisors say, which is to destroy the economy and scoop up failing businesses at a cheap price to own more when the economy recovers. Its just how republicans operate. The tariffs are just an tool for destroying the economy and putting businesses under.
It does make you wonder if it at least a little bit by design. You don’t need to pay bailouts if the person who would be receiving them is no longer able to do so, and you are still approving them outright.
