Horsehockey! The DonaldTM is responding to decades of tariffs imposed upon the United States after WWII.
We’ve been refugees in an ongoing trade war since 1948. All Trump has done is to start to prosecute it.
All these articles are from WSJ and National Review types. I haven’t heard from any real farmers.
Ping, us when you finally post some real news instead of this bs!
I agree with the financial relief for farmers that Trump pursued.
Meghan McCain opposes it.
This is just NeverTrump nonsense.
For example, take his statement, “Farmers have contracts in foreign markets that were disrupted by this back-and-forth trade-warring.” “Farmers” don’t have such contracts, giant broker firms do.
But saying ‘bailouts for large corporations’ doesn’t adequately arose Trump-hate in the RINO world.
poor farmers can’t get by on an extra 12 Billion in subs.

Should we continue to grab our ankles for the world to have their way with us? I don’t think so! The farmers will tough it out till it gets better . This always happens to them. Sometimes worse than others.
Short term pain.
Long term gain.
Another a$$wipe from Townhall! “It’s the old “everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die” approach. “Let’s just put everything back where it was and muddle along as a country being screwed by the rest of the world. Already China is hard up against the fact that they will have to buy soybeans from America with the tariffs, because without our production, there isn’t enough in the rest of the world to give them what they need to stay alive. Trump is doing the right thing.
Can’t they make up their mind? I thought the media said the only reason we had a 4.1 % growth of GDP was soy bean sales overseas.
Has the Democrat media ever cared about farmers before? The answer is “No.” They are only using this as another attempt to separate President Trump from a segment of his base. Farmers are suffering much worse from the bad weather this year.
RISING SEA LEVELS MAY PRESENT RISK TO OUR COASTS, INFRASTRUCTURE AND ECONOMY
I have grown to shape my impressions of people based on their views on climate change. I find it to be most revealing. This is a Rubio guy, and a believer in Man-Caused Global Warming.
The writer of this article is looking through the WRONG end of the binoculars.
If Chine buys $1 billion less soybeans from the USA, it will buy them elsewhere.
This will mean that the countries normally buying soybeans from that “elsewhere” will have to resort to US supplies.
“If President Trump reverses course”
President Trump needs to stay on course.
No one expected trade reform to be a pleasant process, but financially balanced trade is what the whole world needs.
A world where everyone that can work has access to work in their own country will be good for the investors of San Francisco and Greenwich too.
“the rest of the world will find a way to replace American produce in their markets”
Produce is seasonal.
If I want fresh peaches in the winter, they have to come from the Southern Hemisphere.
Blueberry crops come first from Florida and work their way north to New Jersey.
Cherries mainly come from Washington state. They grow on trees and the trees take years to grow.
Imports of Chinese-made goods could be tied to Chinese purchases of American farm goods.
Is the problem serious enough to require that?
Constitution: “The Congress shall have power...to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations”
Note the word “shall”. No trade treaty can ever prevent Congress from regulating foreign trade.
The Chinese government shouldn’t mess with our upcoming Congressional elections.
The European Union shouldn’t mess with our upcoming Congressional elections.
So when you fire back in defense, that’s when it becomes your war? Interesting logic. So that means the US started World War 2 after Pearl Harbor?
.
Ultimately the farmers will win big if they stick with Trump.
