Nothing comes from Trump without expensive strings attached that line his pockets

It's drumpf... it's a payoff.

10 billion X 4 until the end of this term. 10 billion X a whole lot as the market may take years to decades to win back. This is just stupidity from a jackass who doesn't know how anything works.

Who donated bigly to his campaign.

Family farmers will get nothing.

China will get this payout, paid with our money.

Nevermind that we are making you obsolete.

Most of the money will go to million dollar farm operations and corporate farms.

I knew a guy who inherited a farm, and never worked a day in his life. Inherited everything. He sat on his lazy behind, as the government paid him every year for some stupid reason or another. Of course, he was a Republican.

wanted it to go

The gift benefited a financier adjacent to the regime and enabled Argentina to lift its export tax on soy so Argentine farmers could replace US farmers.

Give then some of that money.

But if you extend this approach to its logical conslusion, and subsidize everybody who is being hurt by tarriffs, I'm guessing you more than cancel out the income from the tarriffs.

Of course they won't. They'll only address groups big enough to lobby support, potential Trump voters in swing states.

salaries, green projects, USAID, things they said we can't afford

Soybean exports to China were $13 billion per year just prior to the regime. All US ag exports to just China were $41 billion in 2022 alone. So it's a small drop in the bucket of what they've lost. And is he going to do the same thing every single year from here on out? If farmers have any sense at all, they'll see it as an insult. And many will STILL go bankrupt. China doesn't need Amurkin farmers. Plenty of ag products to found elsewhere. Brazil produces more soybeans than we do.

if the government is shut down?

They haven't figured that part out yet ....

They can give all the money from Blue states to Red states, and we still have to pay our taxes.

These fucked up tariffs will send the economy into the shitter faster than a Reagan tinkle down economy.

This is still less than his first term..

citing conflicts that happened before his presidency or not at all. He hasn't figured out that everybody, even his biggest supporters, know its preposterous. In the past his lies were aimed at his ignorant base. Now it appears he thinks it will work on the Nobel Prize committee.

He doesn't know how anything works, and it will never get better.

Trump is dreaming of he thinks he can get Xi Jinping to budge an inch. Trump has alienated China in a very big way. That will take a long time to heal.

Got it!

The ones he's likely to bribe are the ones who'll take any excuse at all to vote Republican, no matter how badly Republicans fuck them.

COUNT ON IT

Do it or don't, fucko. What's with the months worth of "mulling?"

he doesn’t need Congress to do anything.
Gotta love this country

Make Him Pay!

Audit his ass!

10B for the farmers? Really. This is what "THE MAGATS" voted for, right?

And what a smart idea it was to post tariffs. No thought process at all behind this decision. It's a total financial disaster. Like bankrupting a casino.

If it's this bad now, imagine what the next 3 years will bring.

All the lies, deception, corrupt people and policies? It's all a con which fooled millions of people.

Will we ever see normalcy again? Whatever that is........

My understanding is that a generation is considered 20 years. Sorry I don’t have a link but it was out here. Most of us don’t have 20 to give. Very sad and unbelievable!!

And what about the 20 billion to..was it Venezuela? Originally I thought the 20 was going to US farmers and I was still pissed because T and the tariffs intentionally broke the system. Next step will be the rest of our farmland bought up by mega farming be in US or foreign buyers. Such a disgrace!

doesn't have the power of the purse. Oh wait the Republican Congress shoved that into trumps dirty diaper like a strippers g string.

He is giving them our money.

The money we pay in taxes.

The money we pay because of his tariffs.

You would think even a few magas might get a clue here. Hello? This is your wallet getting a Double Republican Tariff-Tax Butt Ream.

They can't distinguish between truth or lies or fact or fiction.

They follow the cult mentality, ask no questions.

They get all their information from the cult podcasts and rightwing media.

It is alarming how little they understand about the majority of topics.

The majority are Christian Nationalists and they believe in taking control by the sword.

They have destroyed this country.

So, the rest of us are paying higher taxes in tariffs so that we can welfare money to large corporate farms and shills like Chuck Grassley.

According to the interwebs
"Although farms smaller than 250 acres are the most numerous for soybean production, they account for less than 18% of the total 2022 crop."

The trick that Rethugs love to play with is that technically many megafarms are "family farms" in that they are owned by a family and not a bunch of stockholders. We'll use old Chuck Grassley as an example -- his "family farm" (which swallowed up a lot of smaller farms around the original farm has approximately 750 acres.

His farm had received at least $370L in subsides by 2017. It got another $40K in PPP forgiveness. And more undisclosed money during and after Covid.

I'm certain Chuckles and other rethug congress critters will be at the front of the line for handouts.

He rents it out to soybean farmers. He will likely make a killing again and he is directly involved in setting up this tariff fiasco.

were announced. By 2020 Trump had paid them around $32 BILLION. This time will be no different. Start small and keep adding and adding.
