"Trump to Unveil $12 Billion Bailout for Farmers" - WSJ

A reminder from the archive: you can't fix stupid.
#trump #tariffs #trade #farmers #bailout @wsj.com
The headline from the Wall Street Journal article dated December 8, 2025 writing "Trump to Unveil $12 Billion Bailout for Farmers" "The financial aid comes as the agriculture sector grapples with the fallout from the president’s tariffs". This is your hourly reminder that the only people in America more irredeemably stupid than Trump's administration are people who voted for him. The headline from the Wall Street Journal article dated July 25, 2018 writing "Trump Administration Plans Up to $12 Billion in Farm Aid to Ease Concerns Over Trade Disputes" "Announcement of emergency aid to farmers follows retaliatory steps by U.S. trading partners". This is your hourly reminder that the only people in America more irredeemably stupid than Trump's administration are people who voted for him.

Did you vote for Trump and have family who died fighting for democracy in the last 80 years? Next Memorial Day you can begin a new tradition, born of and aligned with the very aspirations of your president. Visit their grave, plant a flag, and piss on it. #trump #traitor

The enormously complex trump tariff regime represents an enormous level of hypocrisy. The admin promised deregulation but created a tariff regime that costs businesses massive amounts of time and money to comply with. Below is a graphic from Scott Lincicome of Cato showing its complexity

Enten: "This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious ... when your best poll has you 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater ... -43 with independents! They despise him."

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

Unprecedentedly corrupt.
