So Trump has to bail out US farmers with $12 billion due to his insane tariffs

This really is something. First of all--"A+++++" economy? Seriously? How could he possibly say that? Well I know how--he is a dementia-riddled pathologically lying moron. So he has announced a $12 billion package of aid for American farmers since he absolutely torched their businesses with his psychotic tariffs. He implemented them and started trade wars with all sorts of countries--including China which was the largest importer of soybeans. They stopped buying the American product and went to Argentina instead. The crops are mostly still unsold and I just saw the head of the US soybean association (I think it was soybean-specific) say on the news that the average farmer lost $109 per acre this year. So Trump destroyed their livelihoods with the tariffs and now he has to bail them out because they can't sell anything due to the tariffs. It is like an arsonist setting fire to a house and then wanting to be thanked for putting it out. Um. . . none of this was necessary or productive. Unlike some people I don't have a problem with people receiving assistance from the government when they need it. It is hard for me to feel too badly for the farmers though because the majority of them voted for Trump who was clearly stating what he was going to do with tariffs during the campaign. This is exactly what they voted for. Did they not foresee what it would do to them? Were they just more focused on the racist immigration crap? I mean when I vote either in government elections or for my contract at work I look at how it is going to affect ME.
