Agronomist here. You know how many times I have heard them hate on city slickers, suits, men that have no word, and talk about business! To then, see them bend backwards and vote for a New York City slicker, with a suit that has no word and had bank rupted 6 business. They didn't vote for policies as he didn't had any. It was all about making other people miserable. Well, what did they expect? Yeah, f...em!

He’ll bail them out. He did it about 3 times in his first term, and farmers were suddenly bragging about the windfall. They elected him for more of our money this time around, and he’s likely to give it to them to buy his way back into their good graces.

Not this time. He doesn't need their vote this time. Unless somehow his bank account gets greased he isn't doing squat

He will still bail them out with taxpayer dollars and build in a kickback for himself. Most will go to his billionaire buddies who own large farm corporations

The good thing, though, that I think we can all agree on, is that the leopards are eating well. And in these tough economic times, I think thats important.

And they'll vote red down ballot. And Trump in 2028 if his criminality is allowed to persist. For them, it's more about hurting others than helping themselves.

I understand that this is their lively hood, but they actively voted to allow a racist and pedo to become president again.
That can't be forgiven or forgotten. The left, independents and middle republicans told them, yelled it even, that he was going to do exactly what he is doing right now, and they still voted for him. You reap what you sow.
So now they are upset that he is shafting them, I wish hindsight for these poor fools was 20/20. They will still vote for him.

Funny the Red states voted to screw everyone else and it backfired badly. Maybe the whiners will be more empathetic and think of our economy as whole. Review the videos of Kamala, it might make more sense now.

They won't.
They'll get their bailout - most of which will go to corporate farms.
Rinse and repeat.

Let's hope Stumpy handles this as well as Reagan did......
And by that I mean how Reagan and his shitty policies killed the majority of family farms and ranches, forcing them to sell to investors for pennies on the dollar.

I went to the Caledonia County Fair in Vermont this past Saturday. Spent about six hours there.
This is a 4-H crowd, 90% of them. Livestock with ribbons tacked to stables. Quilt competitions. There's a tractor pull.
If you threw a gyro into any crowd you'd have better than even odds of hitting someone with a "DON'T TREAD ON ME" or “WE THE PEOPLE ARE PISSED” t-shirt.
Roughly 10,000 people attended.
I didn't see Trump's name once.
Not a single goddamn t-shirt.
Not a single goddamn hat.
Nothing.
At all.

All part of the plan for Trump and his buddies to pick up a shit-load of farms at dirt-cheap prices…👍
The funny part is that these dick-heads will still vote for Trump while they’re wondering how could they have lost their farms due to those ‘libtards’ when they’re not even in power…🤔

yea, i just dont care anymore, the high gas prices suck and i will feel it eventually. however, i dont live in a rural area and drive a big truck. plus when you make more, the cost is less overall, which is a nasty thing to say, but rural folks are costing me money too. they act like they are the only ones paying more for everything.

u/panda3271 4h ago
They are hoping or banking on Trump bailing them out. Since farmers are necessary to survive and the government has bailed them out before for decades. Democrats and republicans. They expect the same now. But attempt is different. As he has shown. He will go over seas and get our food needs from there. He can make deals that make him a ton of money and still feed the peasants here in America. He cannot make those deals with American farmers. 🤷🏼♂️. They are going to learn this the hard way.

Now they're demanding another Trump bailout, I mean socialistic handout. They don't deserve because they voted for him knowing he screwed them over during his first term. Republicans NEVER learn.

They'll get bailed out again to get their vote. Them thrown aside once again after they're no longer needed. Not to worry though. One of the billionaires will be right there to buy the farm up, at a reduced price of course, after they're thrown aside again. The leopard is just getting started.

I work directly with farmers in the Midwest, have for 40 years. This post and virtually all that it is claiming is absolutely FALSE information and completely untrue. Farmers are on pace to have a very financially healthy year with the biggest impediment being fertilizer prices. Commodities are at healthy levels and yields are projected to be above average this fall. Welcome to another episode of fake Democratic News. I think that is all they have at this point.
