Farm-state Republicans rocked by tariffs fear Trump lacks exit strategy

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“Republicans in Congress feel rattled about what they say is the lack of a clear outcome or exit strategy for President Trump’s trade war, which they fear will close lucrative markets for wheat, corn, soybeans, pork and other products for their farmers at home. GOP senators from states such as Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota are bracing for the next phase in Trump’s escalating trade war, which they fear will be a wave of retaliatory tariffs that will hit Americans hard.”

Trump has no ‘strategy’ at all – exit or otherwise.

Actually, tariffs on American farm products is the problem
But the Crazy Democrat Cult has taken the side of countries who put unfair tariffs on American Farm products.

LOL let me help you out Clayton as you seem confused again. Ready? Donald Trump's exit strategy is " I CHANGED MY MIND". Hope that helps.

Why do the Democrats want high unfair tariffs on American farm products?
Do the Democrats hate our Farmers?

 

[Mac-7]

Why do American farmers have to export?

Farmers demand federal subsidies not to stay in business but to make more money by exporting food for foreigners to eat

And these are not for the most part small family farms, but rather the giant corporate farms that libs hate so much

America is still the bread basket of the world, despite all the obstacles thrown up against them.
If you don't think so, why was China allowed by a Democrat Congress to take over the Pork industry in America.

How China purchased a prime cut of America’s pork industry - Reveal

The world is set for a geopolitical struggle over food. With the acquisition of the iconic American pork producer Smithfield Foods, a Chinese company

revealnews.org

The fact is that China cannot produce enough pork, beef, or chicken to feed their masses.
Raising the tariffs on the import of meat to China will only hurt them. Seems there's a swine infection that is killing their Hog farms..

What a flippin damn idiot. First off, your chart, 298% tariff on butter, 245% on cheese, 270% on milk. That is for imports BEYOND THE FUCKING QUOTA. Do you know how much milk, butter, and cheese were subject to those tariffs?

NONE, NADA, ZERO, ZIPSHIT. We never exceeded the quota in any of those markets. Hell, it is not even close.

And I got to say, placing tariffs on food products is just STUPID. And for the most part, American farmers face minimum tariffs around the world. I believe China had a 15% tariff on soybeans, and that is only since Trump started this shit in his first term. Now they are jacking it up, way up, and soybean farmers are going to be hit, hard, FUCKING AGAIN, just like last time. Brazil has already replaced American soybeans in the spring market. Now it looks like they are going to lose the fall market as well.

I mean here is a thought. Let's get Elon and DOGE on this.

The Trump administration gave more taxpayer dollars to farmers harmed by the administration’s trade policies than the federal government spends each year building ships for the Navy or maintaining America’s nuclear arsenal,

I mean how stupid to you got to be. First, the tariffs are going to accelerate inflation. Consumers are going to pay more for everything from coffee to cars. But then, damn taxpayers are going to have to cough up even more money to bail out the farmers. Well, that is what happened last time. This time Trump will probably just say "Fuck em", he ain't going to be running for re-election. He is looking to be anointed king.

There is no trade war, Mrs. Jones. There are reciprocal tariffs.

The gutless, compliant left wants to do nothing but allow themselves to be taken advantage of.

there should be zero tariffs

Why do American farmers have to export?

To make money. Jesus.

To make money. Jesus.

Federal subsidies are there to insure the nation’s food supply, not make money for mega corporations that sell overseas

All farmers make money selling overseas. It’s a commodity.

Democrats support other countries having tariffs on America

Democrats oppose America having tariffs on those countries.

Democrats = traitors
