Trump ready to bail out farmers amid trade war squeeze, Rollins says

https://www.axios.com/2025/04/27/farm-tariffs-bailout-trump-china

I live in farming country and I can tell you Trump is VERY popular but there's a lot of concern about the trade war. This is how he buys them off.

Relatively free trade has been good for many farmers and they are not pumped about Trump's moves but most I have talked to believe and trust him. If you don't get that Trump has been able to connect with people you haven't been around enough Trump supporters. There's a deep trust in many that he is fighting for them.

Ah yes, selective socialism always ends well.

Indeed. Still don't think Harris would be better but I'm ready to shut off my brain and shill for tarriffs. Entertaining to watch people bend their positions though.

Tariffs can - and I believe will - be a good negotiating tool for us.

I’ll take a little pain to reset to a better place.

Not like you have a choice.
