That’s a big HELL NO from me. These are the same folks who likely voted for him; they need to reap what was sown.

Farmers
Reap what they sow
Nice.
They will get helped, just watch. That is the point of all these blanket tariffs, hurt everyone and then make exceptions for their supporters and friends.
I honestly don't think they will get help this time. JD Vance is invested in AcreTrader and what's a better way to buy thousand's of acres for pennies on the dollar than to bankrupt farmers?
Exceptions for anyone willing to owe the turnip. It’s all a shakedown game for personal allegiance, power accumulation, “ I’m winning”
I'm torn. On the one hand, you are right. It does seem to be a MAGA voter constant that they don't see the evil of their actions until the feel the consequences personally. On the other hand, we Americans all need to eat, and we now cannot painlessly import our food.
they already did this with soybeans, they never recovered since china found other sources for thier soybean addiction.
That sounds great until you start having food shortages.
Then it'll be quite the disaster. A huge chunk of those that voted for Trump are from farm country. If they don't feel the full force of the repercussions that they helped cause, then they may not learn their lesson. No bailouts.
they usually are the first to feel the effects tariffs.
Wait, free government handouts? Well that sounds like socialism to me! Thank you Chairman Trump!
Spoils system. You gotta kiss the ring, and have something to give Trump.
The true welfare queens.
Fuck these guys. Every Iowa Trump voter deserves to lose the farm and the house.
alot of farmers did last time trump did this, some suicided, and others bought out by the corporate farms.
And the rest of them kept voting Trump.
Grapes of wrath scenario all over again?
Even more subsidizing?! Isn’t that the type of trade manipulation Trump is accusing other countries of?
Instead he will bail out Tesla.
Offer Teslas at 50% off to the farmers! They get an EV at a bargain price, Tesla sales (and stock) booms. Or better yet the federal government just buys all the surplus Teslas and gives them away to farmers for free. Two problems solved with a single incentive, and it shows he cares about the environment after all!
Republicans: What do you mean they grow all our food? We can just import it. What do you mean it's $12 for a single tomato? This is all Biden's fault!
So apparently you can fuck around and skip finding out. But only if you kissed the ring.
How is giving farmers a bailout saving the government money? I thought this was about rooting out fraud waste and abuse and having extra money in the coffers?
These guys are just pissing away fucking money.
“We hope there will be a bailout,”
I wonder where they think the money for a bailout is going to come from? The money "saved" by DOGE? Don't make me laugh. DOGE has cost the country more money than we could spend in 10 life times. Not to mention that killing USAID has also devastated farmers in this country.
It's going to be an interesting dinner show watching the Republicans fight each other to try to unwind the mess they've made by lining up behind the stupidest president this country has ever had. I just wish the Democrats weren't so incompetent as well.
We really need another option.
I don't have any experience in politics but I'll do it.
If you have the time and resources then I hope you can.
Great now they're gonna turn the money printer on again
Im sure that will help with the inflation
Can't do that. That'd be socialism.
Sounds like a great opportunity for large multinationals to acquire agricultural land from the few remaining privately owned farms. Almost as if that is the intention…
Why bailout when tariffs caused the issue? Isn't food going to be wasted in the meantime? This is stupid. If they need assistance now, their state governments should be responsible for it.
Welcome back to the spoils system, folks.
