So much for that great trade deal. Time to rescind it.

Disentangling ourselves from China isn’t going to be pain-free, but it would be worth it - if we followed through. I doubt we will.

Am I paranoid, or am I right?
Trump made tariffs fair again, costing China a lot of money.
A virulent bug was hatched in China and made its way to the USA within days, during US election season. The reaction destroyed our economy, hopefully temporarily.
Did China give us the bug as revenge and to get rid of Trump who halted the gravy train of US money to China?
Just asking.

Why post this NOW! It is SOOOOOOOO OLD that it borders on FAKE news.

The CURRENT time is TWO worlds away from when this article was written!

Must be I missed the point.

Never thought of looking at it that way.

Over the last few weeks all I have seen are negative ads on television with regard to POTUS and how he has no idea what it’s like to lose a job and have no money. The ads don’t say who is sponsoring them and at the same time, I see NO ads at all about Biden.

Gotta make sure they trash Trump in his stronghold — the Farm Belt.

“Are the current food shortage threats maybe a little blackmail?”

The entire supply chain is out of alignment and suffering. It’s what happens when politicians interfere with the markets.

These are lies, all lies. Trump is winning the fight against china, disinfecting the virus and winning big against trade rivals. These farmers were bought by the dems

Isn’t the shut down more to blame for harm to farmers?

Otherwise, we are WAY to dependent on a COMMUNIST country that has no qualms about KILLING it’s own people..why would they give a fig about foreigners (U.S)?
FOREMOST get Pharma, Med and anything health related manufacturing out of China.

US trade reps must get hustling to find agriculture customers for our farm produce pronto. All indicators point to a dry up of Chinese markets. There is no time to waste.

A farmer who put all his eggs in one basket for foreign markets is like a stock trader who did alike with shares.

It has nothing to do with Trump: A fool is born every second.

Selling food to a Communist country is like selling him the rocks in your yard, to throw back at you.

Russia turned wheat to a biological agent.

BIO VIRUS. 12 plants whose labor speaks 40 langues, just not ENGLISH have the virus, meat destroyed. Milk dumped, CARGILL slaughtered 5 chicken/eggs farm more to come ‘chinese owned’, farmers need to plant less next year, beef ranchers are next, fewer breed of beef and pork, it cost to feed a non producing animal. You slaughter them. tons of potatoes to be plowed under. Baby formula, diapers rationed more than TP is. No frozen or little frozen veggies/fruit. Ever see a empty FF Isle? Even dog food kibble is in short supply.

GREAT DEPRESSION 2.
