No bailouts! Allow for equitable trade!
The government has manipulated agriculture for a loooong time and force Farmers to do their bidding...if it weren’t for that (and as Charlie Daniels sings, “If the man don’t work, the people don’t eat”) I might agree with you - President Trump recognizes that a lot of the problem (along with other “snags”) and long-term interference has put them in position to be harmed even as he fights the Chicoms and others for better trade deals...
I am all for equitable trade. The Chinese, like my ex-wife, have their own definition of what is ‘equitable’.
The reality is that the Chinese were not really buying that much American farm produce in the first place which is one of the reasons our trade was so out of balance.
Also, the economy has changed significantly. For example, American cotton farmers are suffering as a result of the textile industry moving from the Southeast States to Southeast Asia. Now, American cotton with shipping costs added has to match the price of Australian cotton with far less transportation costs. Yes, it is very tempting to just let the farming industry die if it cannot compete.
However, we should think about the full consequences of that which we plan to do before we do it. Do we really want to be dependent on other nations for our food?
