Not a single tariff dime has been charged to an American farmer at the moment, but you'd think a fox just stole their last chicken. American farmers produced $992B worth of crops and livestock in 2017...about $20B of that is exported to China. Do the math. Trump has promised them subsidies if China doesn't back down and still they're sobbing. What isn't being mentioned is that China still has to EAT, right? They have no alternative to buying our pork and produce and Trump knows it. Every story about their phony plight undermines the President's ability to negotiate a fair trade balance so the drive-bys are eager to print them...anything to topple Trump. And don't think China isn't buying American farms as fast as they can...apparently that imaginary 25% tariff doesn't scare them in the least.
