Cause and effect. If you can draw a straight line between trade policy and negative outcomes, well then do so.
Today's farmers wear a lot of hats . They're smart, knowledgeable and tough and have weathered many different kinds of ups and downs. But this is different.

But according to Donald J Trump,once said that Trade Wars are easy to win! And farmers voted for Donald J trump in 2016 because they did not like Hillary Clinton! factory workers were promised by Donald J Trump,that he would be bringing back millions of factory jobs from China.Which might include the assembly manufacturing plant where they make millions of those cheap red MAGA Hats! for half a cent each!

Rural folk in Wisconsin, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, and Florida won the election for Trump in 2016. His net favorability rating in those stated is down 17-21 points (and falling) since he took office. I don't know who the Democrats are going to run, but it might be difficult for Trump to get the same electoral college map he had in 2016.

Hopefully all the factory workers that voted for Trump are realizing that those jobs are just being shifted to Viet nam or some other Asian Country, I haven't heard of one large company moving back to the USA. If you think we can pay workers to make a $5.00 shirt for Wal-Mart, think again, that $5.00 shirt will be $15.00 minimum. Trump is not making America great again, he just causing a shifting of where product are made and with the US only being 24% of China's exports it doesn't look good for us that are paying the price of those tariffs.

Trump said yesterday that he doesn't need to get an agreement with China until after the 2020 election. How is that working out for the farmers?

Remember when Trump stated trade wars were easy to win, he neglected to tell the farmers, motorcycle industry, alcohol industry, steel industry that they would be pawns just like the many partners he had in business when he took the money out of the company, declared bankruptcy and stuck them with the bills. Not only are companies suffering due to Trump but the cost of everyday consumer goods are going up as well due to Trumps tariff. Trump stated tariffs are paid by China that is a lie! Chinese companies don't pay the tariff the companies importing goods to the U.S. consumer pay the tariff, they pass the cost to the middle man, who then passes it on to the retailer who then passes it on to the consumer. In the end the consumer pays the tariff an pays more for the products. Trump says companies should come back to the U.S. but in most cases that is not possible because of labor and material costs as well as the years it takes to open a manufacturing plant. As for other companies picking up the slack they also can not at the current costs we pay for items.

So trump said HE doesn’t need a new trade agreement until after the 2020 election. How about that, farmers? Can you hang on until then?

We cannot bring back $15 an hour manufacturing jobs from countries where the businesses pay $3 and hour without significantly higher prices on all manufactured goods. This means 35% or more tariffs on nearly everything imported from Asia, permanently, cannot be removed without fight of jobs back to Asia. That probably means reciprocal tariffs on US farm products and other goods, permanently.

There is no "quick win" like Rump promised...he has no idea what he is doing and this losing battle with China is losing the farmers best foreign customers...China will establish trade relationships with farmers from other countries and it will take YEARS for american farmers to get that business back....do you see the con man that Rump is? do you see it now? There are no factory jobs coming back....coal is in the dumper....the economy is failing....and farmers are being punished for a LOST trade war.

Truths about Trump:
The “billionaire” who hides his tax returns.
The “genius” who hides his college grades.
The “businessman” who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 years.
The “playboy” who pays for sex.
The “Christian” who doesn’t go to church.
The “philanthropist” who defrauds charity.
The “patriot” who dodged the draft.
The “innocent man” who refuses to testify.

More money has been given to the farmers than was loaned to the big 3 auto makers during the Obama years. Not a peep from the right!
