We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion

So we need a $12 billion “bridge” of government funding to farmers so farmers don’t have to rely on government funding anymore?

So we need a $12 billion “bridge” of government funding to farmers so farmers don’t have to rely on government funding anymore?

This reminds me of an old (pre-MAGA) interview with conservative actor Craig T. Nelson when he was railing against government bailouts and said "I've been on food stamps and welfare. Did anybody help me out? No."

That explains why dimwitted Americans need immigrants to mow our lawns, I guess?

Do MAGAs really want farmers to be getting 12 billion dollars in welfare checks ?

I sure hope there will be a work requirement for able bodied adult farmers in order to qualify for that welfare !

"I know because I buy a lot of that machinery ... it's not as good as the old days."

Ah, the old days ... Trump, take it away ...

He is confusing “possible” with “necessary.”

China getting these chips is a national security issue, but one we can ignore for a 25% cut.

Will MAGA demand drug tests for these welfare queens?

Will welfare pick ups replace welfare Cadillacs?

"... under conditions that allow for continued strong national security." Good Lord, Xi must be laughing his ass off right now, but I imagine Putin is getting jealous. Dictators don't like to share their bitches.

That begs the question... how many Trumps does it take to screw in a light bulb start a lawnmower?

Trump trying to start a lawnmower would be a good idea. He’d probably cut his foot off.

Trump voters - explain how this is good, as well. Looks bad to me but that’s why I didn’t vote for Trump.
Those of you who did vote for Trump - explain please why you think this is good for our economy.

(A lack of response will be taken to mean, “I know it is very bad but I didn’t think he would do any of the things he campaigned on.”)

I have it on good authority that Trump inherited an economy in ashes and he has since turned America into the hottest country in the world!

It's not welfare, it's a "bridge payment." And I'm sure this "bridge payment" comes with some very very strict restrictions before receiving any of the 12 billion dollars.

Gotta give them credit for coming up with a cute name for a bailout.
