The narrative that the GOP cares about farmers is being torn down, not by rhetoric of GOP leaders, but by the actions of Democrat leadership. Farmers are being won over by actual results as farmers realize that stability and rational actions trump Trump rhetoric. Duh….
Donald Trump often espoused his love for America's farmers during his presidency. But after a year under President Joe Biden, farmers say they're actually feeling the love.
"Well, certainly the difference between 2019 and 2021 is the differences in administrations," Montana Farmers Union President Walter Schweitzer said in an interview. "In 2019, our administration was at war with all of our customers." Under Biden, he said, the nation is "rebuilding our relationships with our customers."
Vincent Smith, a visiting fellow at the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute, said the Trump administration "severely disadvantaged" farmers with an ill-advised trade policy.
"I think the real optimism in agriculture is that we've got a president that is willing to stand up to these corporate monopolies and tell them 'enough is enough.' You need to play fairly, you need to share your profits," Schweitzer said.
Farmers flourish under Biden, see recovery from Trump-era trade wars
