Trump bankrupted the farmers through his idiotic tariffs and now he’s going to give them your tax money to make up for his abject stupidity.

False Saviorism. Start the fire, then act like a hero for putting it out.

Trump uses $12 billion from tariff revenue to bail out farmers HE hurt by collecting tariff revenue.

He did the same thing in 2018.

BTW, the 12 billion comes from us. WE'RE bailing out farmers with our tariffs tax.

Trump's farmer bailout will primarily go to massive row-crop farmers. Big Ag as they say. Smaller and diversified farms are getting something else - it rhymes with shackjit.
Trump is going to dump tens of $ billions in payments for huge commodity farmers to compensate for huge losses they will suffer from his idiotic trade war. Meanwhile, small farmers growing for local markets will get nothing. Just canceled grants and "thoughts and prayers". wapo.st/3YXdAbU

The Ellison family has promised Trump that if they get to purchase Warner Bros then they will revamp CNN to make it more friendly to his administration.

It remains to be seen if Netflix can match that offer.
