Trump To Announce Multibillion Stimulus For Farmers

Update: the WSJ confirms the earlier report, noting that the Trump administration on Tuesday will announce a plan to extend some $12 billion in emergency aid to farmers amid growing concerns that the U.S. agricultural sector could suffer from President Donald Trump’s escalating trade dispute with allies, a person familiar with the matter said.

Earlier this month we reported that not everyone was happy with Trump's trade war with China which has retaliated by levying duties on $34 billion of U.S. products, covering 545 categories, ranging from soybeans, pork, chicken and seafood to sport-utility vehicles and electric vehicles, and as a result of plunging commodity prices, one group emerged as especially hard hit by the administration's tariffs:farmers.

The tariffs are hunting more than just farmers! What about them?

This is no different than the democrats buying votes with EBT cards. GOP buying votes with tax dollars.

Yeah, all of less than 1% of the population of the U.S. are working farmers, so this is a lot like the 43,000,000 EBT cards handed out by Obama, accounting for almost 10%.
Most of them voted Trump anyway, so what's your point, that he's rewarding them?
Democrats have EBT card holders believing that without a Democrat in charge, their benefits will disappear. They're lying. Those who truly deserve assistance get it. Those who are able to work or volunteer, have to pay a little into the system with their time, not just suck it out.
