While President Donald Trump’s increase of tariffs — and retaliatory tariffs from other countries — will likely mean fewer U.S. agricultural exports, the president has consistently suggested that American farmers can make up the difference by selling more of their products at home.
“Get ready to start making a lot of agricultural product to be sold INSIDE of the United States,” Trump wrote in a social media post on March 3.
I’m getting deja-vu from his first stint as president.
Last time I think he fired this off after the harvest. It was very bad. At least this time the farmers haven’t planted. Not that I have any sympathy for them; they’re just recovering from the last time leopards ate their faces.
The farmers got $23 billion in bailouts. The real question is why aren’t dems hammering this talking point?
