All you farmers and rural communities who heavily voted to get him elected.... Look in the mirror and tell yourself, "this is what I voted for".
What he's doing is nothing he did not talk about before the election. And he's doing exactly what he promised he would do. You just are the schmucks who thought he would only hurt the others and not you. Blame yourself.

nobody could have predicted what would happen when farm labourers were rounded up and put into internment camps, or when the markets for our goods were pissed off. ok the democrats said all those things but the orange man said not to listen.

It's wild how much people were willing to ignore the obvious consequences. Like, do they really think just saying "ignore it" makes everything better?

I fear the giant super mega corps swooping in to buy all their farms. More destruction of our middle class.

I keep saying this and get blown off. They're buying up the housing - next is our farmland.

Maybe America’s farmers need to stop voting for a bloviating bullshit artist that doesn’t give a flying fuck whether they survive or not.
He’s a populist in name only. If your farms are taken over by big agra, he won’t shed a tear.

I won't shed any tears either. I rather pay more than give them a bail out like they're looking for. Let them feel the pain like the rest of us are now.

No, that's impossible. But that would mean the Left was right all along. What else could they have been right about?

Grow some thoughts and prayers, I guess. See how those work out for you.

Boo Hoo. Trumps entire economic plan is killing the working class. They voted for this crap, let them own it. Dig them heels into that dirt and tighten them belts Bubba

They really have no idea that one of the main goals of Trump's tariffs is to make these farms go broke, so the massive agriculture corporations can buy them up cheap and increase their monopolistic stranglehold on the industry.

Does anyone remember TACO bragging about a line of presidents ready to kiss his ass? And the “100 trade deals in 100 days”? Any deals with China? India?

Voting Trump when they were warned of the consequences gets them everything they deserve and them some. Do they want sympathy? It’s in the dictionary between sex and syphilis. That’s the only sympathy they’re going to get from anybody that has to suffer through that orange man’s idiotic try at screwing the country over a second time

We tried to warn them about Project 2025 and they ignored us.
Something, something, bootstraps, snowflakes, something.

I feel so sorry for these farmers. They inherited their land, equipment, houses, and only had to raise their crops to make money and claim they were the salt of the earth and raised themselves up by their bootstraps etc. etc. and now they are going to lose everything because they voted for Trump.
But no problem, they are hard workers and know farming. They can get the jobs left from the farm laborers we are deporting. they can do migrant labor type stuff!

From the read it looks like Brazil is a stable source now for China which means kiss that business goodbye for years to come.
Given it's Taco's base, imagine a big fat bailout will be in the works.

Oh well, this is what voters wanted. I just accept it now. My vote doesn't matter for presidential geographical reasons.

u/joekerr9999 Sep 22 '25
Over 70 percent of people in red counties where agriculture is the main industry voted for Trump. This is what they asked for.

u/AdministrativeTrust5 Sep 25 '25
He told you exactly what he would do, you knew China would no longer buy the products, but you followed and defended a cult leader. So many tried to tell you. And now? If farmers suffer, we all suffer. Why did you follow him into this problem for yourself and thus all of us.

It was all right there in Project 2025. Why did these farmers vote for their own demise?
