This is the guy who tried to bribe the American people with their own SS taxes. All he ended up doing was screwing up people's finances for a year.What a brilliant scheme, shake people down and then give the money back to curry favor.

And how exactly is he going to do that when he's already teeing up bailouts for farmers (gifted link as it's an exclusive article):
$10B my ass. Last time he had to bail them out from his tariffs it was almost $30B (in 2018 $'s). I would imagine this time around it will be at least $40B

Apparently, Argentina didn't wait long to take advantage of the idiocy known as the Trump administration. Within hours of negotiating a bailout from the US, they turned around and made a deal with China to sell them soybeans with no added export tax. Proof? A photo taken of Bessent's phone showing a text chain:
The photo taken by Angelina Katsanis for the Associated Press last week shows Bessent reading a text that appears to be from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins.
“Finally—just a heads up, I’m getting more intel, but this is highly unfortunate,” the text said. “We bailed out Argentina yesterday and in return, the Argentine’s [sic] are removing their export tariffs on grains, reducing their price, and sold a bunch of soybeans to China, at a time when we would normally be selling to China. Soy prices are dropping further because of it. This gives China more leverage on us.”
More winning from the gang who couldn't shoot straight.

For you beef eaters.
Not all from the tariffs from the syphilitic orange menage but other reasons as well.
"The Bureau of Labor Statistics' consumer price index report for August showed a surge in beef prices over the past year. Ground beef prices were up 12.8% on a year-over-year basis in August, while beef roasts were up 13.6%, and steak prices were 16.6% higher. Those inflation figures are well above the 3.2% year-over-year rise in all food categories, as well as the 5.4% rise in meat prices from last year."
But the menace said we have no inflation right???

And if he can't get the Chinese to start buying again this becomes an annual event. What Xi wants to start buying again is for Trump to drop his tariffs...which as a huge tariff addict seems unlikely.

You still don't get the real true meaning and aim of Project 2025.
It’s not an accident. To take full advantage of disaster capitalism you have to completely destroy what currently exists or existed before. Once it’s destroyed, and the people accept it's destroyed, it then needs people and corporations to rebuild it.
It’s a strategy they’ve been trialing by having endless wars far from home. Now it’s ready for domestic use.
Maybe I shoulda saved this for the conspiracy theory thread but it's basically fact and you know it.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived.
ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cuts.
projects.propublica.org
Don't forget the internal trade that the administration has also cut. Half the point of food bank buying programs and whatnot was to buy excess supply from farmers to keep prices and supplies stable, while also making sure people didn't starve.

He's also attacked them from the input side. Prices on everything they need are up, in some cases quite substantially. If any other US president has done more to harm the ag economy in such a short period of time I'm unaware of it.

What're you talking about??
Trump for 3rd, 4th, 5th term because he's the bestest president evaaaarrr for farmers and agriculture!
/s
Trump bailing out the farmers ... I Remember when Biden was president and American farmers got profits instead of socialist handouts.
I thought the point of the tariffs was to make more money and not bail out the industries crushed by them? I thought it was supposed to spur domestic growth in manufacturing and production? I thought that deporting all the farm workers and destroying the ag markets was supposed to make groceries cheaper?
BREAKING NEWS: - Farmers poke themselves In the eye, demand free eye surgery ….. Then blame Antifa, that one trans athlete in their state, Obama, Biden and Soros.
