U. S. Farmers Being Decimated by Trump's Policies

The U.S. farm collapse just got worse. 88 percent of exports wiped out in days. How will Americans put food on the table?
This is what economists including myself tried to explain months ago. The USA voted for a man whom they knew was incompetent and a criminal proven in court many times.

I have no pity for farmers or anyone else being hit by this. They were happy that people working for government being sacked until they realized it meant themselves too. They cheered when migrant workers were snatched indiscriminently from the streets until they saw that crops could not be harvested. They loved tariffs until it dawned on them they are not paid by “evil foreigners” but by themselves. And so on.

It was all predictable but USA rode on a wave of hate, revenge for things that never happened, arrogance and ignorance.

They sowed the whirlwind and it turned around and hit themselves.

And this is just the beginning.

The last time he was president, farm bankruptcies rose 30%. Foreign corporations were all too happy to swoop in and buy the American-owned farms that Trump destroyed.

Toss in the billions in socialist bailouts, and it obviously helped make America great again... or something.

But hey, maybe it'll totally work this time. Like voodoo economics.

Latinos who helped Trump win are being deported indiscriminately. Good. Those are deportations I can get behind. You voted for it. Off you go.

Maybe next time you'll vote for humanity, you damned assholes.
