Radar, who said he remains a Trump supporter, meets regularly with his fellow farmers inside a former grain-elevator office in Trumbull, dubbed the Sugar Shack, to drink soda, play cards and shoot the breeze. On a hot August afternoon, the mention of Trump and his trade policies brought out a torrent of emotions.

“He’s gonna kill us,” groused Joel Samuleson, 81, noting the recent drop in soybeans. “What good is $2 off on bean price?”

“I don’t like his persona necessarily, but he’s getting things done. The economy is going well, industry is growing, stock market is good,” Eric said. “I don’t like all his tweets; he’s kind of crude. But I’d rather have a person say what he thinks than what he’s supposed to say and lie through his teeth.”

“For me, it’s kind of nice to have a businessman in the Oval Office,” said Saathoff, a graduate of the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, where he met his wife, Gail. The couple and their two daughters, 11 and 14, live in a ranch-style house with a few cedar trees around it to provide a windbreak during Nebraska’s harsh winters.

1. Bunch of idiots get together to share their idiocy

You voted for him, so you don't get to complain when you go bankrupt.

[TheFarseer]

2. I'm from half an hour from Trumbull

They’ll still vote R over “those baby killers” no matter what.

[Iliyah]

3. And you know what?

t-rump and the GOPers don't care. Oh by the way, vote GOPs! That's what you guys do, vote against your own interest.

4. Poetic Justice my friends

All those fly-over conzervative morons who not only voted for him, but still defend him deserve financial ruin. Of course they should not be allowed any "welfare" when that happens.

5. You're in my thoughts and prayers, Eric.

All done.

Now buzz off, sucker.

[Butterflylady]

7. Womp, womp, womp

We tried to warn you.

[dalton99a]

8. Fuck them.

[ooky]

9. Thoughts and prayers

for their stupidity, that it may clear up. But if they are going to keep voting for him then they deserve to keep grabbing their ankles.

[gratuitous]

10. Oh goody, another Trump voter profile

But don't call them dumber than a bag of hair. They're a loyal bunch, these Nebraskans (where the "N" on that big stadium stands for "Knowledge&quot . Trump is getting things done, by golly. And while those things he's getting done are causing these farmers to starve to death, they're loyal. Trump says what he thinks, and though his thousands of lies are well-documented, these loyal Nebraskans like that Trump doesn't say what he's supposed to say. He's a businessman, which is nice! Kind of. Okay, he's gone bankrupt a few times, but who hasn't? They're loyal to Trump uber alles.

You stupid motherfuckers would approve your own hanging as long as the libs are pwned.

[BannonsLiver]

12. Praising their God Emperor all the way to the poor house.

The stupid fucks.

13. Old man in deep red state says he supports the Republian President. Oh my what news.

So tired of these stories. But it was the same under W. It would be the same if Marco or Jeb! had been elected.

When folks stop saying stuff like this - as they did before even the end of his first year of his second term - Then it will be news.

Please know my gripe isn't with the OP - it is with the general media that has been treating us to these stories for 16 months.

14. Dumber than dirt. tRUMP LIES through his teeth, dumb Deplorable.

[0rganism]

15. c'mon , Trump said y'all would take one for the team

are you gonna call the God-Emperor a liar?
