American farmers are finally attacking shithead in the wake of a new hit from China, which comes as part of the trade war between the countries.
Trump’s “strategy of constant escalation and antagonism” has worsened the situation, Roger Johnson, the president of the National Farmers Union, the nation’s second-largest general farmers group, told Bloomberg. Family farmers and ranchers “can’t withstand this kind of pressure much longer,” he added.
“It’s really, really getting bad out here,” Bob Kuylen, a North Dakota farmer of 35 years, told CNBC. “Trump is ruining our markets.”
China canceled all purchases of U.S. agricultural products last weekend. The retaliatory action came after Trump announced 10% tariffs on an additional $300 billion of Chinese imports set to begin in September.
China’s move is a “body blow to thousands of farmers and ranchers who are already struggling to get by,” Zippy Duvall, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, told Bloomberg.
American agricultural exports to China dropped by half last year due to Trump’s trade war, and farm income fell 16%, Time reports. And over the last five years, net farm income has plunged by nearly half, from $123.4 billion in 2013 to $63 billion last year.
Farmers unloaded on Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue last week at a listening session at the annual Farmfest in Minnesota.
Perdue, the one in charge though decided it was time to make a joke about the farmers dire situation.
This is the actual joke.
“What do you call two farmers in a basement?"
"A whine cellar.”
Ha ha ha!!! That's a good one!!! (If I was about to lose my farm, I'd have shot him dead right there)
The Minnesota Farmers Union responded in a tweet, writing, “Farmers are not ‘whining;’ their ability to make a living is threatened. We won’t stop talking about it until this reckless trade policy stops.”
Well, keep on talking, but don't hold your breath, because you'll just die sooner from asphyxiation, rather than starvation or suicide because Trump is using you, and will never back down from the shit he started with China
But, the good news for them is that they are being bailed out by the American taxpayer to the tune of $28 billion, but that won't save them or can continue, so, essentially their fucked.
Nine of every 10 counties that voted for Trump in the 2016 election — 2,300 counties — have received the farm trade subsidies, according to a Washington Post analysis of data from the Environmental Working Group. EWG data also showed that the largest farms are taking the lion’s share of the subsidies.
Well, that's what you get for voting for a con man from Queens, NY, you stupid fucks.
You were warned, but your all Republicans and hated Clinton so much because of her last name and all her emails and Benghazi, right, so you voted for that racist, narcissistic , misogamist, lying mother fucker who has single handedly destroyed you and your families future.
Tough shit, you made this happen to yourselves by voting for Trump, and I have little too no sympathy, at all.
