Trump Is Squeezing U.S. Farmers on All Sides​

The president’s chaotic agenda is making business even harder for one of his key voter bases.​

U.S. President Donald Trump’s chaotic agenda is taking a growing toll on American farmers, many of whom backed his return to office but are increasingly feeling the pressures of his unpredictable trade and deportation policies.

It’s not just the shock waves of Trump’s trade war against much of the world that are hitting U.S. farmers hard, particularly in sectors that are highly dependent on trade with Chinese markets. Trump’s immigration crackdown, too, has injected new uncertainty into the broader farm labor force, around 40 percent of which has been made up of undocumented immigrants over the past three decades.

Sad, but expected when Trump started pushing tariffs on our allies and trading partners.

Trump is not only a master of shooting himself in the foot but he's taking down Americans with him. Sad.

Trump-loving farmers know they have a safety net, because even as Trump's tariff policies fail, farmers fully expect that they will be bailed out with government handouts.

There might not be any money left after Trump's oligarchs fill their pockets from the BBB.

I think the government will always find the money to bail out farmers, even if they have to borrow it.

Which is what they'll do; add to the national debt after cutting taxes for the rich.
