Ohio Republican Soybean Farmer Rips Trump's 'Hush Money,' Says China Markets 'Not Coming Back'

[Soph0571]

And these ongoing bailouts, Gibbs added, may become a permanent fixture, thanks to Trump’s confrontational and erratic trade policy. After two seasons of buying very little corn and soybeans from US farmers, Chinese importers have moved on to new suppliers, he pointed out.

“The president was never, ever forthright with the American people and he was never forthright with farmers that this was about containment,” Gibbs said. “The president needs to be square with the farmers. These markets are not coming back in this fashion, no matter how many soybeans they want, no matter how much pork they want, these markets are not coming back because supply chains have changed. Supply chains have changed and they have moved to Brazil and they’ve moved to other places.”

1. Before lots of good paying jobs

Trump was all about not raising minimum wage and keeping USA labor cheap to be competitive. Lots of good paying jobs was just the first lie he told. He knew full well that a tariff war from the position of higher USA labor rates would destroy the USA economy. Going on strike when there is no shortage is simply the way to drive USA out of the market. The ensuing recession/collapse is a real estate Dream. Property drops to small fractions of it’s worth. The top .001 buy up more property and wealth. Extending dynasties well into the future creating mass poverty. That is heaven to the ultra powerful. They don’t care about institution. They just win all the balls and end the games as victors. Do they care about general prosperity creating living wages and providing healthcare, child care, opportunity and hope???? Not for a second. They just reap the benefits of the chosen and thank their god. Discrimination against the masses is rampant in a society where labor is expendable. The best shot at healthcare left the lower classes broke, suffering more and thousands dying earlier every month. Unnatural selection by genocide of a no wealth group. Servitude for the survivors denied education and opportunity. Any other way to describe a President’s actions taking away jobs and income. Answer me this : “Why isn’t full employment driving wages up?” There are just as many wage gain as no wage gain reports. Some say the wage gain at upper job tiers skews the mean wage gain.

2. He's trying to recreate the Great Depression

and his policies won't match FDR's.

3. As you sow, so shall you reap.

It was different I suspect when Trump was only about racism. This guy was perfectly OK supporting him then, for sure.

7. HEY FARMER!!! Trump authorizes land seizure, promises to pardon the crooks

Trump is coming for your land! Farmer, after he bankrupts you, he wants to seize your land or buy it in bankruptcy! Then he can develop it. TRUMP IS A DEVELOPER, REMEMBER?

8. Your post has roots in the truth.

Farmer better take notes.

9. How many farmers are there really?

Most of the handouts Trump is giving out go to corporate farms. I suspect that each has a representative they dress up in overalls who pretends he's the salt of the earth type that plays for the cameras. ]

10. I'm sorry the farmers got suckered

But gosh, it was as plain as the nose on yer faces ... Donnie Trump was nothing more than a liar and a con man .... how could anyone not see it. Now the entire nation is in pain, thanks to these trump voters. Hope next time they pay more attention.

12. ATTN Ohio GOP Farmer

"It" was all out there.

Trump was a con man who never paid his bills.
Trump never paid his bills and contractors.
Trump and his businesses hired undocumented labor.
Trump's businesses all failed.
Trump was owned by Russia.

So now you are growing soybeans for the less then it costs you to produce 'em. And so now you are going
to lose everything but at least you helped to stop Hillary and her emails.

How much Russia's "market share" has increased in grains and other staples?
