    Default U.S. farmers lost one of their biggest customers this week

    Trump stabbing is own rubes


    It’s really, really getting bad out here,” said Bob Kuylen, who’s farmed for 35 years in North Dakota.

    “Trump is ruining our markets. No one is buying our product no more, and we have no markets no more.”


    Zippy Duvall, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, said China’s exit is a “body blow to thousands of farmers and ranchers who are already struggling to get by.”



    It’s killing us,” said Mark Watne, a wheat and soybean farmer who is president of the North Dakota Farmers Union. Watne said he lost $3 per bushel of soybeans he planted this year.

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.


    “If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."

    Farmers are patriots, & if they wish to remain so they will have to hang in there.. Simply put, going against trump or his great deals is unpatriotic..

    & if they end up going banrupt?? So what, trump has many times, & he is now your president.... How cool is that.....
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Maybe @ the time having the guy from tv that knows absolutely nothing about farming, international finance, markets etc going after your best customer seemed like a great idea??

    Schumer urges Trump to hang tough after China trade tariff threat
    https://www.cnbc.com/.../schumer-urg...a-trade-tariff...
    May 6, 2019 - As President Donald Trump reignites a trade war with China, he has found an ally in at least one key Democrat – Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer


    Schumer: We have to be tough on China - New York Post

    https://nypost.com/2019/08/01/chuck-...china-tariffs/
    Aug 1, 2019 - Chuck Schumer offered some rare praise for President Trump on Thursday, amid his decision to slap a 10 percent tariff on $300 billion worth of Chinese goods on Sept. 1
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    Trump's dirty filthy lying cheating history was readily available for all to see. I have no pity for anyone that ignored this truth.

    Um. If they were patriots they would be growing food for the country. Not soybeans for China. All China does with those soybeans is feed pigs. I am sure U.S. farmers could, if they wanted to, find better crops that Americans would gladly purchase.

    Kinda sad we are talking about sending them raw agricultural materials & they are sending us highly manufactured finished goods...

    Use to be the other way around......

    If that were the case, China is winning, they have new investments and infrastructure projects all over the world since Trump took office, the EU is now a willing party, even the Far East is fragmenting with Trump's "America First" policies
