Trump Reveals Tariffs Plan to Ruin
Farmers’ Lives
Mar 3
Trump issued an ominous message to
American farmers as he announced his
planned kneecapping of their most
profitable market: foreign exports.
“To the Great Farmers of the United
States: Get ready to start making a
lot of agricultural product to be
sold INSIDE of the United States,”
Trump wrote on Truth Social on
Monday. “Tariffs will go on external
product on April 2nd. Have fun!”
It’s unlikely that the farmers will
see the “fun” in having to radically
readjust their processes for less
revenue. This coincides with Trump’s
tariff war, as he plans to levy
massive 25 percent tariffs on
imported goods from Canada and
Mexico and 10 percent on goods
from China. Chinese state media
over the weekend reported that
China planned to retaliate with
tariffs on U.S. agriculture—
perhaps leading Trump to decide
to destroy American farmers
himself.

Farmers union speaks on impact of
potential new tariffs in April
Mar 3
Tariffs are taking effect on Tuesday,
March 4: 10% more on goods from China
and 25% on imports from Canada and
Mexico except for agricultural
products; Trump has delayed a tariff
on those until April 2.
Bob Thompson, president of the
Michigan Farmers Union, said any
new tariffs will have a negative
impact on farmers.
“Tariffs have typically, historically,
worked against farmers,” Thompson
said.
He said his membership has a specific
worry about the cost of potash, a main
component in fertilizer. According to
the U.S. Department of Energy, 90% of
potash in the U.S. is imported,
mostly from Canada.

A lot of Farmers deserve to be fucked by the government because Breitbart
says there's too much DEI in that business.


Trump needs to fuck the farmers over until they bow to his will and delete
DEI and gender bending.

How much of the US banana market is "grown here"?
How much of the US avacado market is "grown here"?
How much of the US coffee market is "grown here?"
Who is benefitting from tariffs on those things?
Try aluminum, nickle and potash on for size.

USA ain't got much of either.

Simple minded Trumpers don't understand economics.
