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!”
This will have a massive, direct impact on how much money farmers—many of whom are still reeling from the tariffs (and subsequent bailout) from Trump’s first term—will make from the products they grow. Agricultural exports like soybeans, grains, fruit, vegetables, and livestock products provided U.S. farmers with about $180 billion in annual revenue in the 2023 fiscal year.
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. […]
And those farmers very likely were supportive of No.2!!! Good. Come November, 2026, we should see a complete about face in the election and Dems will replace the sycophantic, un-American Republicans in both houses of Congress!
What a different Americans will see and finally realize that they have been lied to by not only No.;2 but FOX News and the other ultra-right stations. They really have no idea what actually is going on.
