Trump’s Tariffs Are Screwing Farmers. Many Still Won’t Blame Him.
“We’re just hoping this doesn’t last a long time.”
That dream is looking dim right now. Here in central Illinois ― the number one soybean-producing state ― grain farmers have lost a whopping 20 to 25 percent of the value of their crops since March, when President Donald Trump unexpectedly announced $60 billion in tariffs on Chinese imports. China, which buys the bulk of U.S. soybean exports, responded in April with a 25 percent tariff on U.S. soybeans.
“We’re just hoping this doesn’t last a long time,” she said, “and that we can get to a point where we end up in a better place.”
In other words: As long as it ain't Obama or the democrats fucking us over and as long as Trump keeps feeding us bs racist shit....we's cool with being fucked over by Hitler, I mean Trump!!
